Extrahepatic manifestations occur in more than half of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection and may be no less dangerous to the health and life of the patient than the isolated pathology of the liver. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is often accompanied by the formation of neurocognitive disorders, clinically manifested by general weakness, fatigue and the inability to maindoi tain concentration for a long time. Every fifth patient with chronic hepatitis C develops depression. The development of type 2 diabetes among patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection is observed 1.7 times more often than among non-infected individuals. Mixed cryoglobulinemia is observed in at least 30% of patients, however, the clinical manifestations of this pathology develop only in 4.9% of cases, of which 69–89% of skin lesions, 19–44% of distal sensory and sensorimotor polyneuropathy, 30% of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, 28% of joint damage. Among patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection, higher prevalence than among non-infected individuals is observed, the prevalence rates of such nosologies as lymphoma from cells of the marginal zone are 2.47 times, diffuse large cell B cell lymphoma – 2.24 times, hypothyroidism – 3.1 time. Significantly more rarely encountered extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis C virus infection are skin lesions that are not associated with the development of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis: acquired late skin porphyria, necrolytic acral erythema and lichen planus. The question of the pathogenetic relationship of chronic hepatitis C virus infection with cardiovascular pathology remains open.

<zakljucak> Hepatitis C virusna infekcija je zaista povezana sa sirokim spektrom ekstrahepatickih sindroma. Neke bolesti su sigurno povezane sa HCV infekcijom (krioglobulinemija, kasna kozna porfirija, membranoproliferativni glomerulo-nefritis), za neke postoji velika verovatnoca (autoimunske bolesti stitaste zlezde, autoimunska trombocitopenija, limfomi, secerna bolest neuropatije, artritis, lihen planus, nodozni poliarteritis, sijaloedenitis sindrom fibromialgije) dok se za neke bolesti ostavlja mogucnost da se radi o slucajnoj udruzenosti za sto su potrebna nova istrazivanja.
