A 49 year old obese male presented as a referral to our
institution in April 2014 for follow up of his HCV infection.
His past medical history included chronic hepatitis
C infection since 1995 (treated one year of interferon), hypertension
and diabetes mellitus type 2. He was a former
heavy drinker, but quit in 1995. He had a history of smoking
(40 pack-years), prior recreational drug use (cocaine
and marijuana) but no family history of liver disease.
