Hepatologic Research

Research group

Group Leader

Ricard Solà Lamoglia

Since 2000, our work group has followed various lines of clinical research: The natural history of decompensated cirrhosis, ascites, renal insufficiency and infections; The virological response and viral kinetics during hepatitis C treatment in patients with or without HIV coinfection; The adherence to hepatitis C treatment and the study, prevention and treatment of the psychiatric pathology associated with the interferon and the progression of fibrosis in Hepatitis C with or without HIV coinfection. Recently we also have initiated diferent studies in Hepatitis B (particularly adherence to the treatment and reactivation, treatment and predictors of curation), hepatocellular carcinoma (natural history and impact of different etiologies) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
