The core protein coding region of the HepatitisC virus HCV genome contains a 1 alternative reading frame ARF and two proposed phylogenetically conserved RNA helix forming stem loop structures 1 . The proteins translated from the ARF appear to be translated during the normal viral life cycle but are not essential to virus replication 1 . The two predicted stem loops shown here SLV and SLVI are proposed to be important for HCV translation and repression 1 .

unreferenced date December 2007 Ischemic hepatitis also known as shock liver is a condition of decreased blood supply to the liver resulting in injury to liver cells hepatocyte s , which occurs in a diffuse fashion. The decreased blood flow perfusion to the liver is usually due to shock or low blood pressure. However, local causes involving the hepatic artery that supplies oxygen to the liver, such as sickle cell anemia sickle cell crisis and thrombosis of the hepatic artery, can also cause ischemic hepatitis. Patients with ischemic hepatitis are usually very ill. Diagnosis and presentation Blood testing usually shows high levels of the liver function tests liver transaminase enzymes, AST and ALT, which may exceed 1000 U L. ref name pmid19473435 cite journal author Raurich JM, P rez O, Llompart Pou JA, Ib ez J, Ayestar n I, P rez B rcena J title Incidence and outcome of ischemic hepatitis complicating septic shock journal Hepatol. Res. volume 39 issue 7 pages 700 5 year 2009 month July pmid 19473435 doi 10.1111 j.1872 034X.2009.00501.x url http www3.interscience.wiley.com resolve openurl?genre article&sid nlm pubmed&issn 1386 6346&date 2009&volume 39&issue 7&spage 700 ref Normal limits for ALT is usually 63 U L, depending on the lab. These increased lab values are due to the injured hepatocytes leaking out these enzymes into the blood stream. People who develop ischemic hepatitis may have pain in the right upper part of the abdomen, but they usually feel more unwell because of the serious reason that they developed the ischemia, than due to the ischemic hepatitis itself. Jaundice can occur, but is rare and transient, as is actual loss of function of the liver. Related conditions Ischemic hepatitis is related to another condition called nutmeg liver congestive hepatopathy or nutmeg liver, which is a backflow condition due to poor drainage of the liver, usually due to heart failure. As a result, the two entities can co exist. See also Elevated transaminases References ... more details
