HEPATITIS C VIRUS: AN OUTLINED REVIEW

Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a big cause of liver-related fibrosis and cirrhosis. The level of fibrosis is usually in the past (established by histology). The prognosis is estimated using fibrosis progression rates (FPRs; the annual probability of progressing across histological stages). However, new non-invasive options are quickly replacing biopsy. As the rates of HCV cirrhosis go on increasing ...

VIRUSES AS HIJACKERS

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells, and replicate and create other viruses like themselves using those cells. This can destroy, harm, or change the cells and cause sickness. Various viruses in the human body invade other cells, such as the liver, respiratory system, or blood. Viruses are too small germs. Inside a protein matrix, they are made of genetic material inside of...
