Yen YH, et al. - Researchers ascertained if diabetes was associated with progression from the non-cirrhotic liver to cirrhosis in non-genotype 3 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients. For this investigation, they studied a cohort comprising of 976 non-genotype with 3 patients histologically proven to have CHC. Participants in the study were 684 patients without cirrhosis. According to ultrasound findings, 60 patients developed cirrhosis during the follow-up period. In non-genotype 3 CHC patients, diabetes was correlated with progression from the non-cirrhotic liver to cirrhosis.
