To recognize the efficacy and safety of paritaprevir/ritonavir-ombitasvir combined with dasabuvir (OBV/PTV/RTV+DSV) in the treatment of genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C. Patients with genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C who were admitted to the People's...
BACKGROUND: The infection for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality through its evolution to liver cirrhosis, end-stage liver complications and hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, the new drugs for t...
BACKGROUND: ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC) gene polymorphisms are associated with various biological functions, including hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study aims to explore the impact of ABC transporters polymorphisms on HCV viral...

Therapy of chronic hepatitis C presently achieves 60% of sustained virological response, with clear on improvement of liver histology. Failure to eradicate HCV infection does not mean that the patient is non-responsive to therapy and indeed most pati...
Despite recent advances in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, especially introduction of combined therapy with pegylated interferons with ribavirin, significant number of patients fails to achieve sustained virologic response. Such patients may be...
