Hepatic steatosis is common in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and is reported to be a risk factor for progression of fibrosis. The aims of this study were to evaluate the interactions between hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in a well-defined cohort of patients with CHC. The computerized path
Only 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) will develop cirrhosis, and fibrosis progression remains highly unpredictable. A recent genome-wide association study identified a genetic variant in the patatin-like phospholipase-3 (PNPLA3) gene (rs738409 C>G) associated with steatosis that was f
