Association of signal transducer and activator of transcription, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 positivity with antiviral treatment in cirrhotic liver samples from patients with the hepatitis B or C virus
Abstract:Objective: Terminal liver disease due to viral hepatitis infections is an important health problem. This study aimed to compare the expression of members of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family (STAT-1, -2, -3, -5a, and -5b) and interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 in hepatectomy material from patients who received antiviral treatment and underwent a liver transplantation due to terminal liver failure. Methods: The study consisted of 45 patients who underwent a liver transplantation due t… Show more
