The relationship between cryoglobulin and severity of liver lesions is debated. No study has focused on the relationship between cryoglobulin, liver steatosis, and fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cryoglobulins and liver lesions (necroinflammation, fibrosis,

## Abstract Although progression of fibrosis in the chronic hepatitis C depends on environmental, viral, and host factors, genetic polymorphisms have been associated recently with this progression, including the expression of integrins, adhesion proteins. Some integrins expressed on the platelet me
We read with interest the article recently published in HEPATOLOGY, 1 which suggested that heterozygosity for hemochromatosis C282Y mutation could be associated with more fibrosis in patients with chronic active hepatitis (CAH) owing to hepatitis C virus (HCV). Liver iron accumulation has been obser
Conflicting data exist regarding the relationship between hepatitis C virus genotype 1 and hepatic steatosis as well as the latter's role in the progression of fibrosis and treatment response. We assessed factors associated with hepatic steatosis in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C and the impact of h
