Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hepatitis diagnosis is crucial in ensuring timely treatment and the prevention of disease progression. Advances in diagnostic techniques, including serological testing, imaging modalities, and genetic analysis, have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of hepatitis detection. The ability to differentiate between its acute and chronic forms, as well as to identify specific viral strains, is paramount in tailoring therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in hepatitis diagnosis, providing a comprehensive overview of current practices and emerging trends in the field.

Background: According to a study conducted among a relatively healthy population of Mongolia (2017), the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is 8.5%, which is considered a high prevalence of this infection. In addition to inflammation of the liver, other organ systems are affected by HCV infection, according to research. Our study aimed to evaluate renal dysfunction in patients with HCV infection. Methods: In the study, 111 people with chronic hepatitis C virus infection were included in the study group, and 111 relatively healthy people were included in the control group. Laboratory parameters were analyzed. Liver fibrosis score was assessed and evaluated by renal function. Results: There were 22.9% (51) men and 77.1% (171) women among the 222 participants, and the average age was 40.7 ± 11.1 years. The glomerular filtration rate was 105.3 ± 24.5 in the chronic hepatitis C virus-infected group and 118.7 ± 18.5 in the control group, or the statistically significant difference in the case group compared to the control group was p < 0.01. The liver fibrosis score was higher in the case group than in the control group. According to logistic regression analysis, patients with hepatitis C virus infection are 25 times more likely to have a decrease in glomerular filtration rate than those without viral infection (OR 24.91, 95% CI 3.13–198.38, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Our study showed that HCV infection leads to kidney function loss. In addition, older age, obesity, and severe liver fibrosis contribute to kidney function decline. Full article
