Chronic hepatitis C is often associated with liver iron overload, which may affect the long-term prognosis and the response to antiviral treatment. The occurrence of hemochromatosis (HFE) mutations were studied to determine whether may contribute to the liver iron overload of chronic hepatitis C pat
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
