Abstract excerpt

Hepatic iron has been described in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as an important cofactor of disease outcome. The mechanisms leading to hepatic iron deposits (HIDs) in HCV patients are partially understood. We investigated HIDs in the liver biopsies of a consecutive series of 242 HCV-infected patients with well-compensated liver disease. Serum ferritin was elevated in 20.7% and transferrin saturation in...
