Many studies have demonstrated in animal experiments that persistent inflammation may accelerate the development of carcinoma. In this article, the question of whether the persistent elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (which represents the inflammatory necrosis of hepatocytes)

## Background: The relationship between the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and the serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) level was studied in hepatectomized patients with hepatitis c virus (hcv)-associated cirrhosis and hcc. ## Methods: Twenty-six hepatectomized patients with hcv-ass
The incidence and clinical meaning of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in chronic hepatitis C patients who are hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA negative during pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin therapy have not been completely characterized. In this study our aim was to assess the incid
