Our data support the findings of Wieckowska et al. 2 in demonstrating that measuring serum CK-18 fragments level could potentially be used as a noninvasive diagnostic test to predict the severity of NAFLD; however, before the liver biopsy is abandoned altogether, verification of the noninvasive diag

When patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are placed on antiviral therapy with pegylated interferon (IFN)-โฃ or IFN-โฃ plus ribavirin (RBV), HCV RNA generally declines in a biphasic manner. However, a triphasic decline has been reported in a subset of patients. A triphasic declin
## Abstract Interferon alpha (IFN) has been the standard treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Using the kinetic curves of viral clearance, this study compared three treatment regimes based on IFN alone or in combination with Amantadine or Ribavirin to determine the mechanisms of action
Despite dramatic improvements in antiviral therapy for hepatitis C, there is reason to believe that the uptake of antiviral therapy remains limited. The aims of this study were to determine the number of patients being treated with antiviral therapy in the U.S., to estimate the public health impact
