Analysis shows obesity and alcohol influence liver disease progression in chronic HCV patients, indicating obesity as a key risk factor.
Background and Aims: Obesity and alcohol are important risk factors for the development of liver cirrhosis. However, their impact in patients after chronic HCV infection (cHCV) remains unknown. Data are lacking weather the co-existence of both risk factors has a supra-additive effect on disease progression. We aimed to analyze the impact of obesity and alcohol consumption in cHCV patients.
