Ongoing liver inflammation in patients with chronic hepatitis C and sustained virological response
BACKGROUND Novel direct-acting antiviral DAA combination therapies tremendously improved sustained virologic response (SVR) rates in patients with chronic HCV infection. SVR is typically accompanied by normalization of liver enzymes, however, hepatic inflammation, i.e. persistently elevated aminotransferase levels may persist despite HCV eradication. Aim: To investigate prevalence and risk fact...
متن کاملAnalysis of the sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C and liver steatosis.
CONTEXT Chronic hepatitis C as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are recognized as the main cause of liver disease in Western countries. It is common to see the concomitance of the diseases and the influence of steatosis in the sustained virological response of patients with hepatitis C virus. OBJECTIVE Assess the sustained virological response in chronic hepatitis C patients accordin...
متن کاملFatty liver in hepatitis C patients post-sustained virological response with direct-acting antivirals
AIM To determine steatosis and fibrosis prevalence in hepatitis C patients after a sustained virological response achieved with direct-acting antivirals. METHODS Transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) was used to assess hepatic steatosis post-sustained virological response (SVR); the CAP technology was not available in the United States at study initiation. Liver s...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus reinfection among prisoners with sustained virological response after treatment for chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND & AIMS We estimated HCV reinfection rate and its associated risk factors in inmates with chronic hepatitis C who had achieved sustained virological response (SVR) after completing combination therapy while in prison. METHODS Individuals who had achieved an SVR after treatment provided from January 2003 to December 2009 at four prisons in Catalonia, had been tested annually for HCV ...
متن کاملFive-year follow-up of patients with chronic C hepatitis and sustained virological response.
OBJECTIVE to assess persistence of sustained viral response at 5 years of follow-up in patients with chronic viral hepatitis C treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. DESIGN a descriptive study. PATIENTS from August 2001 to May 2004, all patients treated at our center with pegylated interferon and ribavirin who achieved a sustained viral response were consecutively enrolled (93 pat...
