Severe intimal hyperplasia with ischaemic colitis in two patients with hepatitis C.
Many extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C have been described, including renal disease and vasculitis. We describe the novel finding of intimal hyperplasia associated with severe ischaemic events in two patients with hepatitis C. The combination of genotype 1a hepatitis C virus, rapidly progressive mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and intimal hyperplasia with ischaemic sequelae, may represent a new syndrome.
