RESUMEN
It's well known that hepatitis C virus (HCV) related chronic liver disease may be associated with various extra hepatic disorders. These manifestations can revealed the hepatic disease. We review the available data on the conditions and asses their clinical implications: vascular, cutaneous, articular, neurological or renal disorders. There is no correlation between these extra hepatic manifestations and the severity of liver disease. Several recent studies have established a strong link between HCV infection and essential mixed cryoglobulinemia but some other extra hepatic associations are just fortuitous. Others datas are necessary to better analyze these extra hepatic disorders and to offer the beneficial treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
