SERUM PROHEPCIDIN, IRON AND HEPATIC IRON STATUS IN CHRONIC HEPATITIS C IN EGYPTIAN PATIENTS
Background/Aims: Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) often have increased liver iron. Hepcidin has recently emerged as a key regulator for iron homeostasis. Therefore, we aimed to study the relationship between serum prohepcidin, serum iron indices, hepatic necro-inflammation, fibrosis and hepatic iron density and to determine the predictors of advanced fibrosis in these patients. Subjects and methods: Fifty CHC treatment ... Read more
