Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic hepatitis C infection has been linked to insulin resistance, which is the essential component of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Resistin; an adipokine, has been demonstrated to stimulate the secretion of several inflammatory factors known to play a role in the induction of insulin resistance. we investigated the changes in insulin resistance after hepatitis C clearance in the era of direct antivirals.


Clinical Trial Description

the link between hepatitis C infection and insulin resistance has been established. Insuli resistance has been linked to poor response to interferon based therapy. recently, direct acting antiviral drugs are approved for hepatitis C elimination with high potency and safety. The aim of the study is to: 1. Determine the prevalence of insulin resistance among non-diabetic patients with chronic HCV infection. 2. Explore the impact of treatment with DAAs on insulin resistance among chronic HCV infected patients. 3. Investigate the role of insulin resistance as a potential prognostic factor for the response to DAAs. 4. Explore the utility of resistin as a potential biomarker IR among HCV infected patients. ;
