Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIM: Previous studies have indicated that response to interferon therapy is inversely proportional to the amount of body iron stores. We have studied the relationship between serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, liver iron, presence of HFE-C282Y gene mutation and response to treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-six naive, HCV-RNA positive patients...
