Prevalence of hepatic steatosis and associated factors in Iranian patients with chronic hepatitis C
Background: Hepatic steatosis is commonly observed in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Many studies indicate a relationship between steatosis and fibrosis progression. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of hepatic steatosis and related factors in Iranian CHC patients. Methods: One hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with CHC were enrolled which were treat...
متن کاملIdentification of two gene variants associated with risk of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Previously identified clinical risk factors such as sex, alcohol consumption, and age at infection do not accurately predict which patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) will develop advanced fibrosis (bridging fibrosis and cirrhosis). The aim of this study was to identify genetic polymorphisms that can predict the risk of advanced fibrosis in patients with CHC. METHODS A t...
متن کاملPNPLA3 rs738409 Polymorphism Associated with Hepatic Steatosis and Advanced Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND/AIMS The recognition of a correlation between patatin-like phospholipase domain containing-protein 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 (C>G) and the severity of liver steatosis or fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has not reached a consensus. This meta-analysis sought to investigate with accuracy the association between the PNPLA3 rs738409 (C>G) polymorphism and liver steatosis and advanced fibr...
متن کاملFueling fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C.
I n the 23 y that have elapsed since the discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV), many thousands of papers have been published dealing with chronic hepatitis C. Tremendous strides have been made, especially in the development of efficacious antiviral agents that can be administered orally (1). Nonetheless, many gaps remain in our understanding of the disease, and the burden it imposes on the healt...
متن کاملSustained virologic response and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of chronic hepatitis C infection in patients with advanced fibrosis include liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma, and death. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether sustained virologic response to treatment for hepatitis C is associated with improved clinical outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING 5 hepatology units of tertiary care centers in Europe...
