TL;DR: In patients with G1 CHC, 25(OH)D serum levels and IL28B status are independently associated with the likelihood to achieve RVR and SVR and when incorporated into a pretreatment predictive model they can assist in further discriminating patients with a high likelihood of achieving RVR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giuseppe Malizia,Ornella Dino,R. Pisa,M. Caltagirone,Gandolfo Giannuoli,Vito Di Marco,Emma Aragona,A Calabrese,Francesca Raiata,Antonio Craxì,Luigi Pagliaro +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the expression of the lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 on hepatocytes may be important for viral elimination, and the coordinate expression ofThe intercellular adhesion molecule 1 may regulate inflammatory response and enhance viral antigen presentation to T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective multicenter study was conducted to assess how direct acting antivirus (DAAs) could affect major cardiovascular events (MACE) in a prediabetic HCV positive cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological alterations in hepatitis C virus infection.
Vincenza Calvaruso,Antonio Craxì +1 more
TL;DR: A higher prevalence of immunological processes has recently been reported in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, focusing the attention of physicians and researchers on the close association between HCV and immune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In a non-obese cohort of non-alcoholic patients with chronically abnormal LFTs without HH, high serum ferritin level is a risk factor for steatosis.
