## Abstract The distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in patients on hemodialysis and in kidney transplant recipients was compared with that observed in a control group composed of HCVβinfected individuals from the general population. A total of 340 patients were included in the study:
## Abstract Serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level has been shown to be a good predictor of subsequent response to interferonβΞ± (IFN) therapy in US patients in whom genotype 1a/1b are both predominant. To determine whether serum HCV RNA level is a predictor of subsequent response to IFN in Japanes
Hepatitis C virus RNA as detected by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction was monitored in 16 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Hepatitis C virus R N A became undetectable after 4 to 8 wk of interferon administration in 13 of the 16 patients. During 6 m
## Abstract Hemodialysis induces production of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and decrease of serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in patients with HCV infection, but it is not known if the hemodialysis schedule or type of membrane affect both the HGF production and HCV viremia. The effects on bot
