16. ASSESSING PREDICTORS OF DIRECTLY ACTING ANTIVIRALS’ FAILURE AS A FURTHER STEP TOWARDS MORE EFFICIENT HCV ELIMINATION PROGRAMS: IL28B (IFNL4) GENE POLYMORPHISM HAS NO ROLE WHILE HIGHER ESTIMATED CREATININE CLEARANCE IS A FORGOTTEN FACTOR
RESUMO Contexto: As taxas de resposta virológica sustentada (SVR) após ação direta de antivirais (DAAs) para o vírus da hepatite C (VHC) excedem 95%. Isso encorajou os formuladores de políticas a colocar planos para alcançar a eliminação do VHC até 2030. O percentual remanescente de não-respondedores pode afetar as estratégias de erradicação d

23. Parathyroid hormone levels after parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The parathormone level after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients are of interest. Low levels may require cryopreserved tissue implantation; however, the resection is necessary in case of recurrence. We analyzed post parathyroidectomy parathormone levels in renal hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: Prospective observation of postoperative pa
