Chronic hepatitis C and steatosisCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 123-128 - 2004
Andrew D. Clouston, Julie R. Jonsson, Elizabeth E. Powell
Steatosis is a common finding in chronic hepatitis C infection. It is associated
with increased fibrogenesis and, in nongenotype 3 infection, with a reduced
response to antiviral therapy. The steatosis is multifactorial; host factors,
particularly excess body mass and insulin resistance, and viral cytopathic
effects each play a variable role in different genotypes. How steatosis or the
accompanyin... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of Hepatitis C in HIV Patients in the New Era of Direct-Acting AntiviralsCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 269-275 - 2013
José Vicente Fernández-Montero, Eugenia Vispo, Pablo Barreiro, Carmen de Mendoza, Pablo Labarga, Vincent Soriano
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection occurs globally in 20 % of
HIV-seropositive patients. In coinfected individuals, HCV-related liver disease
is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The advent of new direct-acting
antivirals (DAA) has been particularly awaited for this population, in whom
treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin depicts limited efficacy and poor
tolerability. Howe... hiện toàn bộ
Acute hepatitis C infection: Can immunology teach us the right way to treat?Current Hepatitis Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 148-156 - 2004
Johannes Wiegand, Andrej Potthoff, Michael P. Manns, Heiner Wedemeyer
Management of acute hepatitis C has been discussed controversially in recent
years. Early administration of interferon alpha prevents chronicity in almost
all cases. However, interferon treatment is associated with significant side
effects and costs; thus, alternative treatment strategies were also
investigated. These data also suggested that a delayed therapy may cure the
infection in 80% to 90% ... hiện toàn bộ

Hepatitis C in patients with psychiatric disease and substance abuse: Screening strategies and comanagement models of careCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 93-100 - 2003
Jennifer M. Loftis, Peter Hauser
Increasingly, hepatologists and other health care providers have recognized the
need for a systematic approach to hepatitis C that addresses the common
comorbidities of psychiatric and substance use disorders, and one that demands
active participation from mental health care providers. The majority of new and
existing cases of hepatitis C are related to injection drug use, and in this
population t... hiện toàn bộ

Liver transplantation for HBV and management of reinfectionCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 39-44 - 2005
Abduljaleel Al Alwan, Leslie B. Lilly
Despite the application of vaccination and the growing list of agents effective
in chronic hepatitis B, this disease remains an important indication for
transplantation. Early experience was marked by viral recurrence and dismal
outcomes; current protocols using hepatitis B immunoglobulin and nucleoside
analogues now make recurrence uncommon and outcomes excellent. Nevertheless,
allograft infectio... hiện toàn bộ
Role of Resistance Testing During Oral Antiviral Therapy of Chronic Hepatitis BCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 11 - Trang 55-64 - 2012
Uma Devi, Stephen Locarnini
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA replication is an error prone mechanism and coupled
with selection pressure from antiviral agents, emergence of resistance can be
frequent. Antiviral drug resistance has been associated with treatment failure,
and the widespread use of readily available antiviral agents with limited
potency and low genetic barrier, the risk of emergence of multidrug resistant
HBV makes ... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in childrenCurrent Hepatitis Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 96-102 - 2009
David E. Brumbaugh, Ronald J. Sokol
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains an important global pathogen. In countries of
high endemicity, virus is typically acquired either vertically or during the
preschool years, contributing to a large burden of pediatric infection.
Seroconversion and progression to the inactive carrier phase of infection is
associated with improved outcome and decreased rates of cirrhosis and
hepatocellular carcinoma. ... hiện toàn bộ
