The response of patients with HCV-hepatitis to standard treatment is ~60%
The response is significantly better in younger people, with early disease, who are not obese, drink less
alcohol and differs with the
viral genotype
The patients diet may also be a factor
Intake of some micronutrients may increase and others reduce the chance of successful outcome to therapy
Because multiple statistical analyses were made no firm conclusions about micronutrient intake and disease progression can (yet) be made
