Neurometabolites Alterations Judged by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy may Underlie Chronic Hepatitis C associated Fatigue

Introduction: Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and severity of fatigue and to determine neurochemicals alterations using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Patients & Methods: 100 CHC were categorized using modified Child-Pugh classification and underwent evaluation of quality of life using CLDQ questionnaire, sense of fatigue using FSS, global fatigue using the 11-point visual analogue fatigue scale (VAFS) and to determine the impact of fatigue on their daily life using MFIS. All patients underwent MRI and MRS examinations.
