Fibroscan: Non invasive Ultrasound Technique for determining liver condition
Fibrosure/Fibrotest: Combination of blood test scores used for determining liver condition
Dx: Diagnosis
GT: Genotype
IR: Insulin Resistant
IL28B: A gene polymorphism which helps in Tx prediction -  CC , CT , TT
Sx: Side effects
Tx : Treatment
SOT: Start of Treatment
EOT: End of Treatment
RVR: Rapid viral response - Undetected virus at 4 wks. Tx
cEVR: Complete Early Viral Response: PCR Und at Week 12 (P/R Tx)
EVR: Early Virological Response:  >2 Log Drop at Wk. 12

P/R Tx: Pegelated Interferon / Ribaviron Treatment (old term - SOC: standard of care)
VL: Viral Load - amount of virons per IU (International Unit)
IU: International Unit (1 IU = 2.5 VL Copies apx )
HVL: High Viral Load (≥800,000 IU)
LVL: Low viral load (<800,000IU
PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction
RT-PCR quantitative: using Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction- to count how many virus are in blood

RT-PCR qualitative: a "positive" or "negative" using Reverse
Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction to see if there are at least 50 IU/mlviruses detected in bloodRNA: RiboNucleic Acid
Rx: Prescription
TMA: Transcription Mediated Amplification

GGT:: Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase
HCC: HepatoCellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer)
HDL: High Density Lipoproteins (Good Cholesterol)
HGB: Hemoglobin
IFN: Interferon (Alpha 2a/2b)
IU: International Unit 1 IU (2.5 VL Copies apx)
LDL: Low Density Lipoproteins (Bad Cholesterol)
LFT: Liver Function Test
LLN: Lower Limit of Normal
NAFLD: Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Steatosis)
