Prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis C virus infection in hemodialysis patients from one center in Recife, Brazil
Preliminar evaluation of cytokines in the hepatitis C-schistosomiasis co-infection
Evaluation of hepatic fibrosis is usually performed by
histopathological examination of biopsies. However, this is an invasive
and potentially dangerous procedure. Several studies have proposed
serum biological markers of hepatic fibrosis. This communication
evaluates the use of serum cytokines as markers of hepatic fibrosis in
hepatitis C, schistosomiasis, and co-infection
