Conclusion;
On the light of the results of the present study, it was found that HCV
infection triggers metabolic disorders to happen, abnormalities of
carbohydrate metabolism, including hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance
and diabetes especially type 2 which arises from steatosis and
inflammatory processes. Also it was found that diabetes worsens
hepatitis C outcomes as it increases the risk for cirrhosis and (HCC).
Attempting to reduce the complications of diabetes has a promising
future of limiting the symptoms of HCV infection on patients.
Uncontrolled blood pressure may increase the risk for (CVD), increase in
the rate of peripheral arterial diseases, carotid plaques, endothelial
dysfunction and atherosclerosis so controlling blood pressure of the
patient would be helpful reducing the incidence of serious CVD. Obese
patients with BMI ≥ 30 (kg/m2) and the free fatty acid secretions may
increase the inflammation, changing of lipid-cholesterol biosynthesis
that causes fatty liver occurrence, hypercholesterolemia and as a result
fibrosis. Controlling patient weight helps preventing complications
associated with HCV infection as fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
