Pancreatic-type hyperamylasemia in end-stage renal disease.

abstract：:Response to interferon (IFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis C has been determined by the alteration of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values. However, eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) could be another aim of the therapy. Thus, we serially measured serum HCV RNA levels during therapy and for at least 12 mont...
