Early Changes in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA Levels Predict Response to Interferon Treatment in Non-Cirrhotic HCV Patients

The role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA quantification in determining ideal interferon (IFN) treatment of noncirrhotic HCV liver disease is uncertain. The specific aim of this study was to determine whether measurement of baseline HCV RNA or changes in HCV RNA levels ( HCV RNA) early during therapy...
