Serum cytokine levels as putative prognostic markers in the progression of chronic HCV hepatitis to cirrhosis.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can present as an acute manifestation, and can lead to severe complications such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It represents a global health problem because there is no vaccine currently available. Cytokines play an important role in viral clearance, infection control, inflammation, regeneration and fibrosis, and also are ...
متن کاملEstimating progression to cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
To gain a clearer understanding of the rate of progression to cirrhosis and its determinants in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, a systematic review of published epidemiologic studies that incorporated assessment for cirrhosis has been undertaken. Inclusion criteria were more than 20 cases of chronic HCV infection, and information on either age of subjects or duration of infection. Of...
متن کاملThe impact of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease on chronic viral hepatitis – progression to cirrhosis
Methods Between April 2011 and March 2013, 210 consecutive patients with chronic viral hepatitis were submitted. Patients with excessive alcohol consumption (above 20 g/ day for males, 10 g/day for females) have been excluded. The steatosis, necroinflammatory activity and fibrosis were estimated using FibroMax (non-invasive liver tests). The serological and virological tests established the dia...
متن کاملEvaluation of miR-101 Level in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Liver Cirrhosis
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: MiRNAs are small RNAs that are expressed in most eukaryotes, and can regulate gene expression by attaching to the 3’ end of target mRNA. MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) post-transcriptional regulation is important for host-virus interactions. In addition, miR-101 has a tumor suppressive role in liver cancer and metastasis, an...
متن کاملDetermining the progression stages of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
Introduction: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to liver fibrosis, its failure, and death in the long term. The stage of fibrosis in CHB patients can also be detected based on the biochemical markers. The aim of this study was to predict the state of liver fibrosis in CHB patients and determine the possibility of patients shifting from a given state to another one. Materials and Methods: This stu...
