Chronic Hepatitis C [PDF]

open access: yesGut and Liver, 2011
The goal of antiviral therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is to attain a sustained virologic response (SVR), which is defined as undetectable serum HCV-RNA levels at 6 months after the cessation of treatment.

Chronic hepatitis C [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 2007
Hepatitis C infection is a treatable disease.1 Generally, people with chronic hepatitis C are relatively asymptomatic but risk progression over time to cirrhosis and its complications. Combination antiviral therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin achieves sustained virological response rates of 42-80% depending on genotype.2 In August 2006 the ...

Management of chronic hepatitis C [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2005
AbstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is transmitted primarily through percutaneous exposure to blood, and most infections are associated with injection drug use. Progression to chronic HCV occurs in 55% to 86% of infected people, and persistent infection is a major cause of cirrhosis, end stage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Response to combination therapy with interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in chronic hepatitis C according to a TNF-alpha promoter polymorphism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic active hepatitis C. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene can alter the TNF-alpha expression and modify the host immune response.
