Evolution of HCV positive chronic hepatitis to cirrhosis has been reported to occur in about 30% of patients after five years of follow-up. In contrast, evolution of cirrhosis to decompensation and liver failure is slow, with a survival rate at 5 and 10 years of 91% and 79%, respectively. These findings support the hypothesis that histologic cirrhosis and clinical cirrhosis are different facets of the same disease, the latter developing after a long period of time and being related not only to liver disease per se, but also to other factors only partially identified. During this long-term evolution, extrahepatic manifestations may occur due to the formation of antigen-antibody immunocomplexes, which may eventually lead to death due to renal or cardiac complications.
