OBJECTIVE
To examine the extent to which fatigue and functional disability correlate with severity of depressive symptoms in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
METHODS
Fifty patients with chronic hepatitis C were evaluated using structured psychiatric interviews and standardized rating
OBJECTIVE
To assess the relative impact of fatigue and subclinical cognitive brain dysfunction on the impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
METHODS
We performed a cross-sectional study in 120 patients with untreated chronic HCV infection to test
OBJECTIVE
Fatigue is a frequent and disabling symptom reported by patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Its mechanism is poorly understood. Recent attention has focused on the role of leptin and energy expenditure in CHC. Our aims were to analyse fatigue in CHC and to determine its relationship
BACKGROUND
Fatigue is an important determinant of altered quality of life in patients affected by chronic hepatitis C or the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we aimed at determining the contributory role of plasma levels of leptin and carnitine on fatigue in chronic hepatitis
Recently, we found a serum acylcarnitine (ACR) deficiency in Japanese patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). To clarify whether this ACR abnormality is a characteristic of CFS or not, we also studied the levels of serum carnitine in Swedish subjects. Both serum ACR and free carnitine (FCR)
Objective and Methods. Although the interaction between fatigue and depression in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) has been recognized, the biological correlates of this observation have yet to be reported. We addressed this issue by examining serotonin transporter- (SERT-) driven
OBJECTIVE
Fatigue is a disturbing symptom of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We assessed the effects of sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the end of therapy (SVR12) on fatigue.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective analysis of 100 patients with chronic HCV infection who achieved
Fatigue is prevalent among patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and with HIV/AIDS but there are no established fatigue treatments for either condition or their combination. We analysed data from three trials of modafinil or armodafinil for HIV-positive patients with fatigue, including 36
Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection often experience fatigue. In many clinical situations, an association between fatigue and altered serum cytokine levels has been found. Altered cytokine levels in patients with hepatitis C have not shown a correlation with the degree of serum transaminase
Clinical reports and descriptions of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and chronic ciguatera fish poisoning (CCFP) show great similarities in clinical symptomology. These similarities in the literature suggested the exploration of lipids in sera of CFS, CCFP, and other diseases with the membrane
Fatigue is one of the most common non-specific symptoms associated with several disease states including liver diseases. Recently, it was reported that levels of progesterone metabolites such as allopregnanolone (3alpha,5alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone; 3alpha,5alpha-THP) and isopregnanolone
BACKGROUND
Fatigue is a common symptom of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and a frequent side-effect of peginterferon/ribavirin (PR) therapy for HCV. This study evaluated the impact of adding the oral HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor simeprevir to PR on patient-reported fatigue and health
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of fatigue on the quality of life of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and to examine its relationship with various parameters of the disease, including viral load. The Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), a self-report questionnaire, was applied to 92
OBJECTIVE
Fatigue is the most frequent and often debilitating symptom of chronic hepatitis C. It is unclear whether successful therapy of hepatitis C leads to its clinical improvement. In the Virahep-C study, patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection were treated with peginterferon
BACKGROUND
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious and prevalent disease which may negatively influence health related quality of life (HRQOL) and fatigue. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between demographic variables, HRQOL, and fatigue.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study
