Response to Antiviral Therapy RBV Therapy ■ Up to 38% of treated patients do not how an SVR or even relapse. ■ RBV dose reductions/Mutation in the viral polymerase (G1634R). Peg-IFN alfa ■ Alternative treatment option if there is no contraindication. ■ Peg-IFN for 3-12 months led to sustained clearance of HEV-RNA in chronic HEV who underwent LT. ■ Cause significant adverse effects & organ rejection in transplant recipients.
