Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Tertiary Endpoint: to provide information about the prevalence and grade of steatosis in a consecutive cohort of patients with chronic viral C hepatitis, and to verify if the presence and grade of parenchymal steatosis may affect the correlation between the different non-invasive stiffness imaging modalities.
Subject: consecutive 100 patients affected by chronic viral C hepatitis or co-infected by HCV+ Human Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
