Extractions: VA Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA Liver disease seems to be more severe among veterans with chronic hepatitis C. In the study from Missouri, 47.8% have advanced fibrosis (stage 3) or cirrhosis (stage 4) among those who have a liver biopsy [5]. We have made similar observations at our medical center, with > 50% of veterans with abnormal liver function tests having grade 3 or 4 inflammation and >40% with advanced fibrosis (stage 3 or 4) on liver biopsy [unpublished data]. Liver disease from chronic HCV may be more severe among veterans because of co-factors such as frequent heavy alcohol use. However, at least one investigator found no difference in the severity of liver disease between veterans and non-veterans.
