Management of patients with hepatitis C infection and renal disease

Table 2 Pharmacokinetic and metabolic parameters of selected direct acting antivirals

Drugs	Metabolism/excretion route	Interaction with CYP3A	Comments
NS3/4A protease inhibitors
Boceprevir	Hepatic (CYP3A, aldoketoreductase)	Moderate CYP3A inhibitor	Significant DDI with other CYP3A substrate drugs
Telaprevir	Hepatic (CYP3A)	Strong CYP3A inhibitor	Significant DDI with other CYP3A and P-gp substrate drugs
Simeprevir	Hepatic (CYP3A)	Mild CYP1A2 and CYP3A inhibitor	Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia commonly seen
Faldaprevir	Hepatic (CYP3A)	Moderate CYP3A inhibitor; weak CYP2C9 inhibitor	Inhibition of UGTA1 results in unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia
ABT-450/ ritonavir	Hepatic (CYP3A)	Strong CYP3A inhibitor (by ritonavir)	Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia
NS5A replication complex inhibitors
Daclatasvir	Hepatic (CYP3A)	No/minimal
Ledipasvir	Feces (major); hepatic and renal (minor)	No/minimal
NS5B nucleos(t)ide polymerase inhibitors
Sofosbuvir	Renal	No/minimal	Dose reduction if moderate to severe renal impairment
NS5B non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitors
ABT-333	Hepatic (CYP2C8 60%, CYP3A4 30% and CYP2D6 10%)	No/minimal
