متن کاملClinical Features of Hepatitis C Virus Carriers With Persistently Normal Alanine Aminotransferase Levels
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes chronic hepatitis, which frequently leads to hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a biomarker of hepatocyte injury and is associated with the progression of hepatic fibrosis. Advanced hepatic fibrosis also predisposes HCV carriers to a risk of HCC. In contrast, some cases with persistent HCV infection hav...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors
Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...

متن کاملRelationship between serum alanine aminotransferase levels and liver histology in chronic hepatitis C-infected patients.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in predicting the severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unclear. OBJECTIVE To compare histologic scoring of liver pathology in patients with chronic HCV infection with normal or elevated serum ALT. METHODS Liver biopsies were performed in patients with HCV infection and either normal (n=40) or elevated (n=76) ...
