HCV-induced increase in alpha-fetoprotein without hepatocarcinoma
Keywords
Abstract
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is chronic and is still an important cause of liver cirrhosis. In patients with chronic hepatic dysfunction, the risk of developing hepatocarcinoma is 1 to 5% per year, and may be higher in patients with other risk factors, such as alcoholism and HIV co-infection.
