Viral liver infections with parenteral transmission in Western countries are mostly caused by hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses (HBV and HCV). This paper presents a mathematical model that describes the history of the spread of HBV and HCV infections in the general population in Italy. The analysis of the model and the results also provide some new insight into the mechanisms of the epidemics. The model structure is based on an underlying analysis of the various effects of the infection progression in the host, in order to incorporate into its parameters most of the information available from the literature. Moreover, incidence and prevalence curves of both HBV and HCV infections and of HBV/HCV co-infections are generated and qualitative aspects of the epidemic, such as possible endemic steady states and the basic reproduction number, are also analyzed.

“…Estados Unidos, México e Brasil apresentam situações semelhantes, podendo o álcool ser responsabilizado por 50 a 80% dos casos de cirrose hepática (2,8,14,49) . Na Itália, a infecção crônica pelo vírus da hepatite B e C é, até o momento, reconhecida como a causa maior de cirrose hepática (24) , em mais de 80% dos casos (15) . Desses, cerca de 86% estiveram associados à hepatite C (15) .…”

Liver chronic pathologies often courses with metabolic abnormalities of macronutrients leading to or aggravating a protein-energy malnutrition status. This review raised the major pathophysiological mechanisms related to the protein-energy malnutrition in chronic liver patients. By large the reduced dietary intake is the most accepted cause particularly among alcoholic patients. Moreover during the treatment prevails the iatrogenic anorexia by unpalatable (restricted) diets interpolated with long-lasting fastings of hospitalized patients. Intestinal fat malabsorption is a common finding whereas hypermetabolism can be found associated with an acute alcoholism. Hypoglycemia or insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and liver steatosis are common findings as well as lower plasma proteins along with higher levels of ammonia, aromatic and sulphur amino acids leading to neurological outcomes. The knowledge of these metabolic changes allow proper dietary interventions toward reduced morbi-mortality of those patients.
