1) Why to Treat HCV Infection The treatment of HCV is justified by the natural history and the outcome of chronic infection and liver injury that is associated with cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, development of HCC, and mortality. In addition, HCV infection has been linked to a variety of[r]

acute HCV infection persists and 4% to 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C will develop liver cirrhosis within 20 years. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the risk to develop HCC is 1-5% per year. Current standard therapy is the combination of pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and ribavirin. D[r]

The assumption that scale weight loss is synonymous with fat loss, however, is not al-ways true [26,27]. Scale[r]
