The prognostic value of changes in serum ferritin levels during therapy for hepatitis C virus infection

Abstract: An increase in serum ferritin levels during combined interferon-ribavirin treatment in chronic patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) can occur. A study was conducted to determine whether observing the kinetics of serum ferritin levels during antiviral therapy, may assist in predicting the rate of sustained virological response. The kinetics of serum ferritin levels during antiviral therapy in treatment-naive, adherent patients with chronic HCV who had early virological response were characterized. Thi… Show more

“…In addition, we enrolled 32 patients with other acute febrile diseases presenting with fever lasting more than three days. Exclusion criteria were the presence of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and viral infections, such as hepatitis C, avian influenza A (H5N1), dengue fever, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia with increased serum ferritin levels [9][10][11][12][13].…”
