Fibrosis and HCV - ProfilesArchive

About Me

The rate of progression of liver fibrosis in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections is affected by lifestyle traits discussed at the group Fibrosis and HCV (at http://groups.myspace.com/fibrosisandhcv). There are about 1.7 million Americans infected with HCV. There are about 400,000 Americans who are co-infected with HCV/HIV. HCV/HIV co-infection tends to accelerate the progression of liver fibrosis. It's a topic in the group Fibrosis and HCV. Learn about how tobacco, alcohol, fatty food, too much iron, and other things are especially bad for your health in those infected with HCV.
