Hepatitis C viral load, genotype, and increased risk of developing end-stage renal disease: REVEAL-HCV study

Reads0

TLDR
It is revealed that chronic HCV infection is associated with an increased risk of developing ESRD and suggests that elevated serum levels of HCV RNA (>167,000 IU/mL) and HCV genotype 1 are strong predictors of ESRd, indicating clinical implications for the management of chronicHCV.

Association between hepatitis B virus and chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: HBV infection is possibly associated with a risk of developing reduced glomerular filtration rate in the general population; no link between HBV sero-positive status and frequency of chronic kidney disease or proteinuria was noted in cross-sectional surveys.

A Proportional Hazards Model for the Subdistribution of a Competing Risk

TL;DR: This article proposes methods for combining estimates of the cause-specific hazard functions under the proportional hazards formulation, but these methods do not allow the analyst to directly assess the effect of a covariate on the marginal probability function.

Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma across a biological gradient of serum hepatitis B virus DNA level.

TL;DR: Elevated serum HBV DNA level (> or =10,000 copies/mL) is a strong risk predictor of hepatocellular carcinoma independent of HBeAg, serum alanine aminotransferase level, and liver cirrhosis.

Global epidemiology and genotype distribution of the hepatitis C virus infection

TL;DR: The total number of HCV infections reported here are lower than previous estimates, and the exclusion of data from earlier studies conducted at the peak of the HCV epidemic, along with adjustments for reduced prevalence among children, are likely contributors.
