NCT05449847

Brief Summary

100 patients with diagnosed HCV were evaluated by clinical and ultrasound examination and were categorized as uncomplicated HCV (n=22) and complicated HCV (n=78). All patients were evaluated for hepatosteatosis and liver fibrosis using the computerized hepatorenal index, the hepatic steatosis index, aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/platelet count index (APRI) and the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) scores. Blood samples were obtained for estimation of serum levels of liver function tests and plasma levels of microRNA 21 and 126.

MicroRNAs (MiR) are naturally occurring short, noncoding RNAs that specifically regulate protein expression and its cumulative effects may lead to broad changes to cell systems and architecture. Deregulated expression levels of MiRs may underlie the development of multiple liver pathologies
