Interferon-based hepatitis C antiviral treatment outcomes may be predicted by alanine aminotransferase levels
Summary On-therapy decline or normalization of liver enzyme levels is often observed following initiation of interferon-based hepatitis C virus (HCV) antiviral treatment and may reflect response to therapy and decreasing HCV RNA levels (1,2). On-treatment alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level elevation may be associated with persistent viremia (3–5). The value of enzymatic response in predicting sustained […]
