[Assessing whether the presence of bile duct lesions is indicated by biochemical abnormalities or whether virological characteristics can influence their development may help in the definition of clinical-histological relationships in chronic hepatitis C. In this study we evaluated the relationships among routine biochemical parameters, serum bile acids, and pi-class glutathione S-transferase levels, and the presence of bile duct lesions in 60 patients with chronic hepatitis C. Furthermore, we assessed whether the presence of bile duct lesion might be related to HCV genotype, HCV-RNA serum levels, and positivity for HGV-RNA.].
