Abstract excerpt

Among patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) rarely increases above 500 IU/L. We examined the clinical and virological features of untreated patients with serum ALT > or = 500 IU/L. One thousand seven hundred and sixty adult patients with chronic HCV infection were followed-up. Among these patients, 22 developed ALT flare-up (M:F=13:9, median age, 50.5...
