What is HCV Genotype 4: ALT, RNA, and Fibrosis Correlation about?

This study examined the relationship between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA titers, and fibrosis stage in 138 patients with chronic HCV genotype 4 infection. Liver biopsies were performed on 80 patients and Fibroscan on 58 to determine fibrosis stage. High HCV RNA titers correlated with fibrosis stage 3, but ALT levels did not correlate well with fibrosis stage. Neither ALT nor HCV RNA provided an accurate assessment of liver damage, so liver biopsy or Fibroscan remain es
