Hepatitis C, iron status, and disease severity: relationship with HFE mutations.

Gastroenterology - 1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Mild to moderate hepatic iron loading is common in patients with chronic hepatitis C. We sought to determine whether mutations in the hemochromatosis gene, HFE, are associated with iron overload and acceleration of disease progression in hepatitis C patients. METHODS: A total of 316 patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied: 198 consecutive patients undergoing liver biopsy for compensated...
