Drip filter coffee
Hepatitis C can lead to chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the liver, and some patients will develop liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Associate professor Yachi Sasaki of Osaka University and others said that they investigated 376 patients with hepatitis C who were treated at Osaka City University Hospital and compared the changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), which will rise after liver cell damage, with the frequency of coffee drinking.
It was found that 89% of hepatitis C patients with normal alt levels who drank more than one cup of filtered coffee a day maintained their ALT levels after a year. Only 76 per cent of people who did not drink filtered coffee at all maintained their ALT levels.
In addition, if patients with high ALT levels drank more than one cup of filtered coffee a day, 37% of ALT levels dropped significantly after a year, compared with only 22% of patients who did not drink drip coffee.
The study also found that the greater the amount of filtered coffee, the more obvious the effect. However, patients who drank canned coffee, instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee showed no effect. Researchers do not know exactly why.
The paper has been published in the new issue of PLoS Comprehensive Volume, an American online science journal. At present, patients with hepatitis C are mainly treated with interferon, but some patients are unable to receive interferon treatment due to side effects, the researchers said. For these patients, drinking drip filter coffee may be an encouraging habit.
