Brief Summary:
One single study has suggested that bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced in patients with non-cirrhotic chronic viral hepatitis C. Antiviral combination therapy with standard interferon and ribavirin may further decrease BMD. The aim of this study is to systematically investigate the effect of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection alone and current standard therapy with peginterferon alfa-2a/ribavirin on BMD and bone metabolism.
