Predictive value of liver fibrosis assessment by Transient Elastography for response to antiviral therapy in Egyptian chronic hepatitis C patients.
Ali Elsayed Anas Ali Azkoul;
Abstract
The WHO estimates 130 to 150 million people infected with HCV worldwide (WHO 2016).
The advent of new DAAs as efficacious treatment for chronic hepatitis C and emerging prevalence of non alcoholic steatohepatitis raises new questions on the role of TE in current clinical practice in light of the changing epidemiology of liver diseases and new clinical management paradigms (Chang et al. 2016).
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet to Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been shown to be a marker of inflammation in different diseases (Kucuk et al. 2016) (Cetin et al. 2016).
The aim of this study was to assess the value of TE, Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio and Platelet to Lymphocyte ratio in predicting response to antiviral therapy in Egyptian chronic hepatitis patients.
Our study was a retrospective study including 200 patients with CHC treated with antiviral drugs from January 2014 till January 2016.
