Risk of HCC was correlated with age 40 years, cirrhosis and hepatitis duration (P0.001). There was no correlation between the risk of HCC and the type of hepatitis, HBeAg positivity, sex and ALT levels. Conclusions: Early screening for HCC using AFP and sonography can be useful for HCC ...
Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to the development of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and HCC. As well as in HCV, chronic HBV infection is associated with age, cell cycle arrest, and CS. In one study the authors assessed the HBV antigen production...
The majority of patients with greater disease severity required C 1 medi- cation (DC: 83.5%; HCC: 84.1%; LT: 90.2%), or C 1 serologic testing (99.8%; 99.9%; 100%), or C 1 screening and monitoring test (all 100%), or C 1 outpatient visit (99.7%; 99.9%; 99.5%). Within the ...
HbsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; HBV, hepatitis B virus; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; NAs, nucleos(t)ide analogs; peg-IFN-α, pegylated interferon-α. For patients with chronic HBV infection with positivity for serum HBV DNA, antiviral therapy is indicated if...
Our study aimed to compare the predictive performance of different hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prediction models in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving entecavir or tenofovir, including discrimination, calibration, negative predictive value (NPV) i
Hepatosplenomegaly; triple-phase scan will show contrast-enhancing HCC USS CT Endoscopy All patients should have a screening gastroscopy to check for oeseophageal varices If varices present patient should be enrolled on a banding programme or commenced on a non-selective beta-blocker (e.g. propran...
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and C (CHC) affect respectively 350 and 170 million individuals worldwide1. Patients with CHB and CHC are at high risk to develop liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)2. The evaluation of liver fibrosis is crucial for assessing the prognosis and...
It can be used to identify high-risk CHB patients for treatment and screening of HCC. Introduction Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection affects 350–400 million people worldwide [1]. These patients have a greater than 100-fold increased risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ...
Although further studies are needed to definitively exclude a potential bias due to antiviral treatments, our findings highlight the rationale for improved screening of hepatitis D virus infection in hepatitis B patients, and the urgent need of novel and effective antiviral therapies....
