Liver fibrosis regression correlates with downregulation in liver angiogenesis in chronic hepatitis C through viral eradication

Objectives The impact of viral eradication on hepatic angiogenesis is unknown. This study aimed to analyze the correlations of liver angiogenesis with liver fibrosis progression or regression in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) after viral eradication. Methods From 2003 to 2020, a cohort of 130 eligible participants underwent paired percutaneous liver biopsies (median = 48 months apart; range = 46–62) at the treatment baseline and after sustained...
