The effect of alanine aminotransferase dynamics on predicting sustained virological response in chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

Abstract

See Article on Page 41 The sustained virological response (SVR) of the combination of both pegylated interferon alfa (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is heterogeneous. 1 The therapeutic approach has been more individualized to obtain the better outcomes of patients with chronic HCV infection, and clinicians need to know the factors for predicting SVR. 2 The viral factors are
