L’anémie est la cause la plus fréquente
de réduction de dose ou d’interruption du
traitement chez les patients bénéciant
d’un traitement de la récidive virale C
après TH. L’utilisation d’autres médica
-
ments myélotoxiques est déconseillée
dans ce contexte.
En cas d’insuffisance rénale, une
réduction des doses de ribavirine ou un
espacement des doses sont vivement
conseillés lorsque la clairance est infé-
rieure à 20 ml/mn (38, 39). Un dosage
de ribavirine, non effectué en pratique
courante, pourrait être plus largement
utilisé.
L’utilisation d’EPO permet de main-
tenir le traitement antiviral et de
permettre l’éradication virale même
dans les cas où l’anémie aurait habi-
tuellement conduit à l’interruption
du traitement antiviral (40). Dans un
travail prospectif multicentrique, nous
avons montré que l’utilisation de l’EPO
dans 38 % des cas chez des patients
bénéciant d’un traitement antiviral
après TH permettait de maintenir le
traitement antiviral dans la majorité
des cas (93 %), et augmentait le taux
d’éradication virale (réponse virolo-
gique prolongée dans 40 % des cas de
cette série) [37]. L’utilisation d’EPO
pourrait donc être la réponse adaptée à
ce type de patients. Elle s’accompagne
d’une amélioration de la qualité de vie
chez les patients transplantés (41). ■
