Hepatitis C is Associated with High Levels of Circulating N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Interleukin-6

Hepatitis C is Associated with High Levels of Circulating N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Interleukin-6

To our knowledge, no study has evaluated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) together with interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon (IFN)-gamma serum levels in a large series of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) as possible markers of cardiac dysfunction.
