BACKGROUND
In phase 2 trials, telaprevir, a hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 protease inhibitor, in combination with peginterferon-ribavirin, as compared with peginterferon-ribavirin alone, has… Expand
The NAFLD fibrosis score: A noninvasive system that identifies liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD
Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced liver fibrosis are at the highest risk for progressing to end‐stage liver disease. We constructed and validated a scoring system… Expand
IL28B is associated with response to chronic hepatitis C interferon-α and ribavirin therapy
