COMPARISON OF LABORATORY DATA IN PATIENTS WITH VIRAL HEPATITIS C, BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT WITH ANTIVIRAL DRUGS

Abstract

This article evaluates the effects of antiviral treatment on laboratory parameters in 100 chronic hepatitis C patients. Data showed significant improvements post-treatment, with reductions in ALT (89 to 30 IU/L), AST (78 to 28 IU/L), and viral load (1,200,000 IU/mL to undetectable). Albumin levels also increased (3.8 to 4.2 g/dL). These results indicate that antiviral therapy effectively enhances liver function and achieves viral clearance in hepatitis C patients.
