Antifibrotics for Chronic Hepatitis C
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2009Development and testing of antifibrotic agents for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C have generally been targeted toward hepatic stellate cells, transforming growth factor-beta, the inflammatory response, or extracellular matrix accumulation. Although several agents such as interferon-gamma, long-term pegylated interferon, and caspase inhibitors ...

Hepatitis C virus genotypes in chronic hepatitis C of children
Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 1996SUMMARY.Several hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes have been recently identified and genotype 1b has been correlated with severe liver disease and a poor response to interferon therapy. HCV infection in children is an interesting model for evaluation of the relationship between HCV genotypes and liver disease, because of its relatively short duration ...

Hepatic sarcoidosis associated with chronic hepatitis C
Journal of Gastroenterology, 2002A 57-year-old woman with sarcoidosis was referred because of the appearance of multiple small low-attenuation areas in the liver on computed tomography (CT).

Economics of chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C
Journal of Hepatology, 2007Although not all patients develop progressive liver disease, chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. To address this need, many new antiviral treatments have become available over the past 10 years.

Treatment for chronic hepatitis C
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2003Approximately four million Americans have been exposed to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and are anti-HCV positive; almost three million are chronically infected and HCV RNA positive. Treatment for chronic hepatitis C has improved rapidly over the past 12 years from interferon monotherapy, with a sustained virologic response (SVR) rate of about 10% in the

Treatment of chronic hepatitis C
Journal of Hepatology, 1991alpha-Interferon given subcutaneously at doses between 1-3 million units leads to responses in about 50% of patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C. A 24-week treatment is frequently (approx. 50%) followed by relapses reducing the percentage of lasting responders to approx. 20%.
