โฆ Synopsis
Our data support the findings of Wieckowska et al. 2 in demonstrating that measuring serum CK-18 fragments level could potentially be used as a noninvasive diagnostic test to predict the severity of NAFLD; however, before the liver biopsy is abandoned altogether, verification of the noninvasive diagnostic in a bigger cohort of children is warranted.

## Abstract Interferon alpha (IFN) has been the standard treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Using the kinetic curves of viral clearance, this study compared three treatment regimes based on IFN alone or in combination with Amantadine or Ribavirin to determine the mechanisms of action
When patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are placed on antiviral therapy with pegylated interferon (IFN)-โฃ or IFN-โฃ plus ribavirin (RBV), HCV RNA generally declines in a biphasic manner. However, a triphasic decline has been reported in a subset of patients. A triphasic declin
Our aim was to study the effect of ribavirin on viral kinetics and to study the early patterns of response to antiviral therapy of hepatitis C and their correlation with interferon pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial of peginterferon alfa-2a with or wit
