Fibrosis progression is the main determinant of liver disease outcome in chronic hepatitis C, being influenced by environmental and host factors. Recently, a cirrhosis risk score (CRS) based on seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms was proposed as genetic predictor of cirrhosis in hepatitis C. To as
HCV infection is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, and it has been considered an independent risk factor for mortality in this setting. Although liver biopsy in ESRD patients with HCV infection is useful before kidney transplantation, it carries a high risk o
A model was constructed consisting of clinical and serum variables to discriminate between hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with and without significant fibrosis (stages 2-4 vs. stages 0-1). Consecutive treatment-naive CHB patients who underwent liver biopsy
