Diagnostic and prognostic significance of hepatic steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C

In conclusion, HS is a common finding (42.42%) in patients with CHC, particularly genotypes 1 and 2. Early detection of HS by invasive or non-invasive methods is an important objective of monitoring patients with CHC, because HS is correlated with a high degree of fibrosis. Therefore, early correction of metabolic factors and early introduction of antiviral therapy are important targets for treating of patients with CHC.PMID:35263405 | PMC:PMC9019612 | DOI:10.47162/RJME.62.3.14
