Hepatic decompensation with sofosbuvir plus simeprevir in a patient with Child-Pugh B compensated cirrhosis

A 75-year-old male with compensated Child-Pugh B cirrhosis initiated sofosbuvir plus simeprevir, and developed hepatic decompensation and died a few days thereafter. High exposure to simeprevir leading to hepatotoxicity most likely explained this fatal outcome. This observation, along with similar cases recently reported in the literature, should raise awareness of the potential for decompensation in patients with advanced cirrhosis treated with simeprevir.
