Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study assessed the association of alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels with pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic cytokines and chemokines during acute HCV infection to provide further insight into the potential HCV immunopathogenesis. METHODS: Participants in the ATAHC study, a prospective study of recent HCV infection, with detectable HCV RNA at the time of HCV...
