13. Association between age at diagnosis and degree of liver injury in hepatitis C
Introduction: A population-based survey conducted in Brazilian capital cities found that only 16% of the population had ever been tested for hepatitis C. These data suggest that much of the Brazilian population with HCV infection remains undiagnosed. The distribution of age ranges at diagnosis and its association with the degree of hepatitis C are still unk

14. Hepatitis C and hepatitis B virus infections in the etiopathogenesis of pemphigus
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that some viral infections may be triggers for autoimmune diseases. The role of viral infections in the etiopathogenesis of pemphigus has also been investigated.OBJECTIVES:To investigate the relationship between pemphigus and the hepatitis B and C virus infections.METHODS:This retrospective study included 62 patients wi

15. Prevalence and clinical features of celiac disease in patients with hepatitis B virus infection in Southern Brazil
Introduction Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that involves gluten intolerance and can be triggered by environmental factors including hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of celiac disease in individuals with HBV infection and to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of celiac disease associa

16. Frequência dos polimorfismos no gene da TPMT em doadores de sangue e pacientes em uso de azatioprina / Frequency of polymorphisms in the TPMT gene in blood donors and patients using azathioprine
para diversos tipos de tratamento, como doenças auto-imunes, inflamatórias e até para pacientes submetidos a transplante de órgãos. Assim também, é capaz de causar efeitos adversos como toxicidade hepática e mais frequentemente a mielossupressão. Tiopurina Smetiltransferase (TPMT), uma enzima que catalisa a S-metilação dessas drogas, exibiu um pol

17. Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 in children : laboratorial features associated with histology and outcome / Hepatite autoimune tipo 1 em crianças: fatores laboratoriais associados com a resposta histológica e evolução da doença
INTRODUCTION: The study of factors that can recognize, earlier, which patients will be carrying autoimmune hepatitis presenting good outcome or those who will be resistant to treatment, would lead to a much better therapy planning. This study aims to: determine whether pretreatment laboratory factors and the time required for achieving clinical and laborator

19. MTP -493G/T gene polymorphism is associated with steatosis in hepatitis C-infected patients
The reduction of hepatic microsomal transfer protein (MTP) activity results in fatty liver, worsening hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The G allele of the MTP gene promoter, -493G/T, has been associated with lower transcriptional activity than the T allele. We investigated this association with metabolic and histological variables

A hepatite autoimune (HAI) e uma doença inflamatória do fígado de etiologia desconhecida. As crianças e os adolescentes com doença hepática crônica tem o risco de desenvolver deficiência de vitamina K devido a má-absorção de lipídios e a ingestão dietética inadequada. A vitamina K e uma vitamina lipossolúvel que esta envolvida no processo de c

21. The presence of Helicobacter pylori in the liver depends on the Th1, Th17 and Treg cytokine profile of the patient
The hypothesis that Helicobactermight be a risk factor for human liver diseases has arisen after the detection of Helicobacter DNA in hepatic tissue of patients with hepatobiliary diseases. Nevertheless, no explanation that justifies the presence of the bacterium in the human liver has been proposed. We evaluated the presence of Helicobacterin the liver of p

22. Thyroid disorders in patients with chronic hepatitis C using interferon-alpha and ribavirin therapy
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequency of thyroid disorders (TD) in patients with chronic hepatitis C before and during interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and ribavirin (RIB) treatment. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively studied 65 anti-HCV and viral RNA positive patients. Free thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and thyroid

23. Thyroid hormonal disturbances related to treatment of hepatitis C with interferon-alpha and ribavirin
OBJECTIVE: To characterize thyroid disturbances induced by interferon-alpha and ribavirin therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. INTRODUCTION: Interferon-alpha is used to treat chronic hepatitis C infections. This compound commonly induces both autoimmune and non-autoimmune thyroiditis. METHODS: We prospectively selected 26 patients with chronic hepat

24. Correlation between serum levels of interleukins 10 and 12 and thrombocytopenia in hepatitis C cirrhotic (class A) patients
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients commonly have low platelet counts; however, the exact role of HCV infection in thrombocytopenia is unknown. This work aimed to study the serum levels of interleukins (IL) 10 and 12 in patients with mild and moderate thrombocytopenia associated with chronic hepatitis C infection. Our study included 15 patients with chronic HCV
