Tratamento da Co-Infecção do Vírus da Hepatite B e C. Resposta Excedida

Os vírus da hepatite B (VHB) e da hepatite C (VHC) constituem a causa mais frequente de doença hepática crónica. A partilha de vias de transmissão contribui para o risco de coinfecção VHB-VHC. Nos doentes co-infectados com o VHB e VHC verifica-se uma progressão mais rápida para a cirrose hepática e existe um risco aumentado para o carcinoma hepatocelular. A terapêutica da co-infecção VHB/VHC é empírica, consist...

Chronic Hepatitis C Treated with Peginterferon alfa plus Ribavirin in Clinical ...

From 1907 patients with chronic hepatitis C proposed for treatment, we analysed 1380 (1124 naive and 256 treatment-experienced) with complete follow-up. Genotype and HCV RNA quantification were assayed by commercial tests. Viremia was considered high if >800,000IU/mL, and low if <400,000IU/mL. Liver fibrosis was staged in 614 patients. RESULTS: Genotype 1 was the most frequent (60%), followed by 3 (25%), 4 (9%)...

Annual costs of chronic hepatitis B disease states in Portugal

Annual costs of chronic hepatitis B disease states in Portugal

One year of Lamivudine therapy for portuguese patients with chronic hepatitis B.

OBJECTIVE: To further verify the efficacy and safety of locally manufactured lamivudine on patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS: 2200 patients with CHB were recruited and received lamivudine orally 100 mg once daily for 12 months. The efficacy assessments included virologic response rate (defined by the absence of serum HBV DNA, HBeAg loss and HBeAg/HBeAb seroconversion), percentage of patients wit...

Adenocarcinoma e Carcinóide Gástricos

Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de adenocarcinoma e carcinóide gástricos síncronos. Discutem o diagnóstico de carcinóide gástrico e a sua associação a adenocarcinoma

Asialotransferrina Discriminante do Consumo Excessivo Activo de Álcool, Sub-Agu...

A determinação dos níveis séricos de transferrina deficiente em carbo-hidratos (CDT) e do rácio de transferrina no consumidor abusivo persistente de álcool aparece com promissora utilidade na área da alcoologia. Na série actual demonstra-se excelente especificidade (970 o) no entanto com fraca sensibilidade (52° o) para o CDT. Contudo o rácio CDT Tft adiciona-lhe uma sensibilidade acrescida atingindo 740 o mant...

Asialotransferrin discriminating excessive, subacute and chronic active alcohol...

The determination of serum levels of carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) and transferrin ratio in the persistent abusive alcohol consumer arises with promising utility in the study of alcohol related disorders. This series shows the excellent specificity (97%), though poor sensitivity (52%), for CDT. However the CDT/Tft ratio affords a higher sensitivity, reaching 74%, maintaining the high specificity.
