В этом номере журнала Нефрология и Диализ мы продолжаем серию публикаций переводов на русский язык Клинических Практических Рекомендаций KDIGO и предлагаем вашему вниманию перевод Рекомендаций по профилактике, диагностике, оценке и лечению гепатита С при хронической болезни почек. Как и предыдущие переводы, опубликованные в журнале Нефрология и Диализ, данный перевод осуществлен по инициативе Российского Диализного Общества с разрешения KDIGO. Руководство РДО и редколлегия журнала Нефрология и Диализ надеются, что публикуемый материал будет полезен вам в вашей работе. На сайте журнала Нефрология и Диализ и на сайте KDIGO вы можете также найти осуществленные по инициативе РДО переводы на русский язык Клинических Практических Рекомендаций KDIGO по МКН-ХБП, ОПП, Анемии у больных с ХБП, Гломерулонефритам, Ведению дислипидемии у пациентов с ХБП и Диагностике и Лечению Хронической Болезни Почек. Мы планируем и в дальнейшем знакомить вас с материалами KDIGO, с новостями от KDIGO вы можете ознакомиться на специальной страничке в конце каждого выпуска нашего журнала. С наилучшими пожеланиям от имени KDIGO и РДО, заместитель главного редактора журнала «Нефрология и Диализ» Е.В. Захарова Клинические практические рекомендации KDIGO 2018 по профилактике, диагностике, обследованию и лечению гепатита С при хронической болезни почек представляют собой полностью обновленный вариант предыдущих рекомендаций, опубликованных в 2008 г. Данное руководство предназначено для оказания помощи в практическим врачам при лечении пациентов, инфицированных вирусом гепатита С (ВГС) и страдающих хронической болезнью почек (ХБП), включая и пациентов, получающих лечение хроническим диализом и реципиентов почечного трансплантата. Основные специфические вопросы, освещаемые в новых рекомендациях, включают выявление и оценку ВГС у пациентов с ХБП, лечение ВГС-инфекции у пациентов с ХБП, лечение инфицированных ВГС пациентов до и после трансплантации почки, профилактику передачи ВГС в отделениях гемодиализа, а также диагностику и лечение заболеваний почек, ассоциированных с ВГС. Разработка данных рекомендаций проводилась в строгом соответствии с процессом рассмотрения и оценки доказательств. Подходы к лечению и положения рекомендаций основаны на систематическом обзоре соответствующих исследований, а оценка качества доказательств и силы рекомендаций проводилась в соответствии с системой оценки, разработки и изучения рекомендаций GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). Обсуждаются случаи ограничения доказательности результатов, а также представлены рекомендации по будущим исследованиям.
