The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...
متن کاملEffect of weight reduction on liver histology and biochemistry in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND Steatosis occurs in more than 50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C and is associated with increased hepatic fibrosis. In many of these patients the pathogenesis of steatosis appears to be the same as for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-that is, related to visceral adiposity and obesity. METHODS The effect of a three month weight reduction programme on liver bioc...
متن کاملQuantitative hepatitis C virus RNA and liver histology in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with interferon alfa.
Seventy patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection received alpha interferon at doses ranging from 3 to 10 million units (MU) daily for eight weeks, three times weekly for 12-24 weeks, or daily and three times weekly for 12-24 weeks. The efficacy of interferon was closely related to the initial blood HCV-RNA values in that these were lower in those who responded completely and partially co...
