The Comparison of Serum HCV-RNA Levels and Histopathological Features of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

Abstract

ÖZET Hepatit C virüsü (HCV); uzun yıllar non-A, non-B hepatiti olarak bilinmiş SUMMARY The Comparison of Serum HCV-RNA Levels and Histopathological Features of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Infection Hepatitis C virus (HCV), formerly known as non A-non B hepatitis, was also described as posttransfusion hepatitis as a separate clinical entity in 1975 because it was frequently reported in patients who received blood transfusions. The aims of this study are to evaluate the relationship between the serum levels of HCV RNA and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) with steatosis,histologic activity index and fibrosis in liver and the same time to research the condition of fibrosis and steatosis in chronic hepatitis
