New CDC HIV Prevention Funding Emphasizes Effectiveness, Focuses on Those Already Infected (2647 words)
The aims of this retrospective study were to determine the prevalence of and the risk factors for hepatic steatosis and to assess the association of being overweight/obese and steatosis with activity and progression of CHC in U.S.patients.
Steatosis was graded on a scale of 0–3: 0=absence of steatosis; grade 1=30% of hepatocytes affected; grade 2=30 to about 70% of hepatocytes affected; grade 3=70% of hepatocytes affected.
Grade II/III steatosis was not associated with age at the exposure, elevated ALT and ferritin at entry, hepatic iron staining, hypoalbuminemia, thrombocytopenia, and splenomegaly.
