The sustained virologic response of nonresponder hepatitis C virus patients with retreatment
Background: Pegylated interferon and ribavirin combination therapy remain the first-line treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In contrast to the large number of studies in treatment-naive patients, the effectiveness of retreatment in ...

Virologic response at week 8 of combined treatment as a predictor of sustained virologic response in non rapid virologic response, chronic HCV genotype 4 infected patients [PDF]
Optimization of interferon-based treatment regimens remains an important goal as pegylated interferon is likely to remain the backbone of chronic HCV treatment in the foreseeable future. The objective of the current study was to evaluate virological response at week 8 of combined treatment as a predictor of sustained virologic response (SVR) in non ...

The most important factors to predict the sustained virological response (SVR) are the genotype and the fibrosis grade, although there are other predictive factors to be considered, mainly in HCV/HIV coinfected patients.To evaluate different prognostic factors to obtain the SVR in HCV monoinfected and HCV/HIV coinfected genotype 1 patients emphasizing ...

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.
