1. Impact of Genetic Variants in Inosine Triphosphate Pyrophosphatase and Interferon-λ4 on Natural History, Treatment Response and Ribavirin Pharmacology in Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) impacts on global health with around 70 million chronically infected worldwide. The infection increases the risk of cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. The treatment until 2013 has been based on interferon-α and ribavirin, but is now replaced by direct acting antivirals. LÄS MER
2. Immunological and Genetic Markers Predicting Treatment Outcome in Hepatitits C Virus Infection
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). A chronic infection, which develops in most infected subjects, may lead to liver cirrhosis with ensuing liver dysfunction and liver cancer. LÄS MER
3. Ribavirin : dose and concentration in treatment of chronic hepatitis C infected patients
Sammanfattning : Chronic hepatitis C infection is a global health problem with 170 million patients infected. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of end stage liver disease. Current antiviral treatment options available are not optimal either regarding cure of disease or risk of side effects. LÄS MER
4. Hepatitis C virus kinetics during antiviral treatment
Sammanfattning : It is estimated that 170 million individuals have chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, whereof 20-30% will develop end stage liver disease within 20-30 years. Antiviral therapy can stop this deterioration and clear the infection in 40-80% of the patients depending on treatment and HCV genotype. LÄS MER
5. Hepatitis C in chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation : with special reference to epidemiology and treatment
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C (HCV) is a clinical problem in infected kidney transplant patients but is also a cause of renal disease and vasculitis. Standard therapy for HCV is a combination of interferon and ribavirin. LÄS MER
