Dyslipoproteinemia in Chronic HCV Infection
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a unique virus whose life cycle is closely associated with lipoprotein metabolism [1, 2, 3]. Assembly of HCV particles, formation of HCV-virions, is closely connected to the formation of lipid droplets in hepatic cells that may serve as an assembly platform [1, 4]. In addition, the production of HCV particles is tightly linked to the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL...
متن کاملChronic HCV infection: epidemiological and clinical relevance
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), first recognized as a cause of transfusion-associated acute and chronic hepatitis in 1989, plays a major role as a cause of chronic liver injury, with potential for neoplastic degeneration. It is mainly transmitted by the parenteral route. However, although with lower efficiency, it may be also transmitted by sexual intercourses and by the mother-to-child route. Epidemi...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus (HCV) core serotypes in chronic HCV infection.
Recently, two distinct hepatitis C virus (HCV) serologic types have been identified on the basis of amino acid variations in the core region. The two serologic types can readily discriminate between genotypes I-II-V (serotype 1) and III-IV (serotype 2), according to the Okamoto classification. We compared HCV core serotyping with genotyping with sera from 363 anti-HCV-positive patients (309 HCV...
متن کاملIndications for treatment in chronic HCV infection.
HCV Infection is a global burden disease and it is related to the development of progressive liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. At least 80% of the persons that have an acute infection evolve to chronicity. This event affects the patient and their contacts for the risk of acquiring the infection. Once chronic HCV is present some factors accelerate progression: older age, ob...
