Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C is a widespread virus that affects millions, often leading to chronic infections, with only a small percentage recovering naturally; about 20% of cases of acute hepatitis present with noticeable jaundice and severe symptoms are rare.
- A pilot study at INOR hospital included 11 hepatitis C positive and 10 negative participants, revealing a strong correlation (r=0.904) between viral load and liver fibrosis measured by elastography.
- While liver biopsies are the traditional method for assessing liver damage, the study suggests that liver elastography could provide valuable insights, as higher viral loads correspond to more severe fibrosis, with age also influencing outcomes, highlighting the need for further research.
