Longitudinal Liver Stiffness Assessment in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Undergoing Antiviral Therapy
BACKGROUND/AIMS Liver stiffness (LS) measurement by means of transient elastography (TE) is accurate to predict fibrosis stage. The effect of antiviral treatment and virologic response on LS was assessed and compared with untreated patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS TE was performed at baseline, and at weeks 24, 48, and 72 in 515 patients with CHC. RESULTS 323 treated (62.7%) ...
متن کاملUse of antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C
INTRODUCTION The presence of background HCV infection cannot be overestimated in view of the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C and the risk of adverse outcomes of this disease. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined use of antiviral therapy (Roferon + Vero-Ribavirin) and resort factors in patients with chronic hepatitis C in the phase of replication. MATERIAL ...
متن کاملgenetic polymorphism of cyp27b1-1260 as associated with impaired fasting glucose in patients with chronic hepatitis c undergoing antiviral therapy
conclusions cyp27b1-1260 polymorphism is associated with abnormal glucose metabolism in hcv infected patients. hcv infected individuals with cyp27b1-1260 genotype cc appeared to have an increased risk of developing abnormal fpg levels. results in hcv infected patients with abnormal fpg levels, the frequency of the genotype cc was significantly higher than that in patients with normal fpg levels...
متن کاملoccult hepatitis b virus infection in patients with chronic hepatitis c treated with antiviral therapy
background occult hepatitis b virus infection (obi) is defined as the presence of hepatitis b virus (hbv) dna in the liver and/or in the serum of patients with negative results of hepatitis b s antigen (hbsag) test with or without serological markers of previous viral exposure. the impact of obi in patients with chronic hepatitis c (chc) is still unclear. objectives the aim of this study was to...
متن کاملChanges in liver stiffness measurement using acoustic radiation force impulse elastography after antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C
BACKGROUND To compare on-treatment and off-treatment parameters acquired using acoustic radiation force impulse elastography, the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS Patients received therapies based on pegylated interferon or direct-acting antiviral agents. The changes in paired patient pa...
