Hepatitis C-induced cholestatic hepatitis is a well-known fatal complication of postorthotropic liver transplantation and prolonged immunosuppression. Recent studies on direct-acting antiviral agents have shown promising results in terms of morbidity and mortality of this condition in postorthotropic liver, heart, and renal transplant patients. However, hepatitis C-induced cholestatic hepatitis remains a highly fatal condition in non-transplant patients. We report the first-ever use of the oral direct-acting antiviral combination, elbasvir and grazeprevir, in the treatment of a non-liver transplant patient with cholestatic hepatitis.
