Chronic hepatitis B patients with high-normal serum ALT (levels of 0.5-1Ψ upper limit of normal) are still at risk of liver disease progression. We thus investigated the correlation between serum ALT level and hepatitis B viral factors in HBeAg-negative carriers with persistently normal serum ALT le
## Abstract Serum samples from 1,765 consecutive Sardinian blood donors, negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (antiβHIV), were evaluated for the presence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (antiβHCV) by secondβgeneration ELISA. An
## Abstract Ongoing subclinical infection of hepatitis E virus (HEV) has not been fully studied. In the present study, serum samples were collected from 6700 voluntary blood donors with an elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of 61β476 IU/l at a Japanese Red Cross Blood Center, and were te
## Abstract We evaluated the utility of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) measurements in predicting the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a cohort of 667 adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection from a communityβbased population in Japan, between 1994 and 2003. Cox proportio
