During hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the UPS is shown to act as a double-edged sword in viral pathogenesis. (biomedcentral.com)

All patients were tested for chronic viral hepatitis thereby providing an opportunity to compare various strategies for detection of this serious treatable disease. (bris.ac.uk)
METHODS: This study uses data from the BALLETS cohort to compare various testing strategies for viral hepatitis in patients who had received an abnormal LFT result. (bris.ac.uk)
The aim was to inform a strategy for identification of patients with chronic viral hepatitis. (bris.ac.uk)
RESULTS: Of the 1,236 study patients with an abnormal LFT, 13 had chronic viral hepatitis (nine hepatitis B and four hepatitis C). The strategy advocated by the current guidelines (repeating the LFT with a view to testing for specific disease if it remained abnormal) was less efficient (more expensive per case detected) than a simple policy of testing all patients for viral hepatitis without repeating LFTs. (bris.ac.uk)
A more selective strategy of viral testing all patients for viral hepatitis if they were born in countries where viral hepatitis was prevalent provided high efficiency with little loss of sensitivity. (bris.ac.uk)
CONCLUSIONS: Based on this analysis and on widely accepted clinical principles, a "fast and frugal" heuristic was produced to guide general practitioners with respect to diagnosing cases of viral hepatitis in asymptomatic patients with abnormal LFTs. (bris.ac.uk)

Even though telaprevir does produce side effects of its own, its addition to standard therapy was able to improve response rates and shorten the duration of treatment necessary - either one alone would have been an advance, and to be able to achieve both is a significant step in the right direction when it comes to treating hepatitis C.
