Abstract
The aim of the Mexican Consensus on the Treatment of HepatitisC was to develop clinical practice guidelines applicable to Mexico. The expert opinion of specialists in the following areas was taken into account: gastroenterology, infectious diseases, and hepatology. A search of the medical literature was carried out on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases through keywords related to hepatitisC treatment. The quality of evidence was subsequently evaluated using the GRADE system and the consensus statements were formulated. The statements were then voted upon, using the modified Delphi system, and reviewed and corrected by a panel of 34 voting participants. Finally, the level of agreement was classified for each statement. The present guidelines provide recommendations with an emphasis on the new direct-acting antivirals, to facilitate their use in clinical practice. Each case must be individualized according to the comorbidities involved and patient management must always be multidisciplinary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND PBC progresses to cirrhosis and results in death due to liver failure or bleeding portal hypertension. Data of the clinical characteristics and survival of PBC patients allows the assessment of therapeutical alternatives as well as the establishment of inclusion criteria for liver transplantation. AIMS One hundred and twenty patients with histological diagnosis of PBC, admitted from 1972 to 1992, were selected with the purpose of studying the clinical and biochemical characteristics and survival. METHODS Patients who underwent liver transplant or those who had an incomplete follow-up were excluded. RESULTS Therefore only 80 patients were included: these were seventy five women and five men, with mean age 46 +/- 11 years (X +/- SD) to whom demographic data, biochemical analysis, liver function (Child-Pugh) and liver damage (Ludwig) were recorded at the time of histological diagnosis, which was considered zero for calculating the survival (Kaplan Meier). The most common symptoms at diagnosis were pruritus in 63 patients, jaundice in 48, asthenia and adynamia in 55 patients. Eight cases were asymptomatic. According to Child-Pugh's classification, patients were grouped as follows: forty in stage A, 29 in B, and three in C; and according to liver damage (Ludwig), 8 in grade I, 28 in grade II, 22 in grade III and 14 in grade IV. The most frequent clinical associations were Sjögren's syndrome, in 30% of patients, although one case was associated to progressive muscular dystrophy and another one to multiple myeloma and hypothyroidism; in 58.7% of the cases, antimitochondrial antibodies were negative. One year survival was 75%, five years 44%, and seven years 13%. CONCLUSIONS The most important characteristics of the studied patients were elevated percentage of negative antimitochondrial antibodies and short survival. it is important to impel the development of liver transplantation as the only mean to improve survival.

Abstract
A spectrophotometric method for porphobilinogen deaminase assay in erythrocytes is described. This test is determinant for the definite diagnosis of acute intermittent porphyria. In the method described, delta-aminolevulinic acid is used as substrate. Mercaptoethanol and zinc ions are introduced to maintain delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase in optimal conditions and to guarantee the in vitro production of porphobilinogen. An incubation temperature of 45 degrees C leads to the production of uroporphyrins, which are measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm, giving reproducible results. The assay can be performed easily in any clinical laboratory and is valuable for detecting both patients and carriers of acute intermittent porphyria.

Abstract
The liver function tests are basic tools in the assessment of liver disease, they supply information about severity, progression of the illness and help to discriminate among treatment options. They are divided into two sections: biochemical test of liver function per se and serum markers of hepatobiliary disease. Although there are no new tests, liver transplant programs have stimulated development of metabolic capacity measurements to estimate liver function. At present the liver function tests, still are the best method to assess patients with liver diseases.
