DAAs Rapidly Reduce Inflammation but Increase Serum VEGF Level: A Rationale for Tumor Risk during Anti-HCV Treatment.

Interestingly, while IL-10 levels were substantially suppressed from the end of treatment onwards, the decrease in TNF-alpha started later; it was nearly significant at the end of treatment (2.82 pg/mL, p = 0.05) and this was confirmed, although with a smaller decrease, at each consecutive time point (2.19 pg/mL and 2.09 pg/mL at SVR4 and 12, respectively).
