Sudomotor Changes in Hepatitis C Virus Infection with or without Diabetes Mellitus: A Pilot Study in Egyptian Patients.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can affect the neurological system, and neuropathy is one of these manifestations. Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) type II, and diabetic patients are at higher risk of acquiring HCV infection. Sweat function has been proposed to assess early autonomic neuropathy.

Effect of treatment with direct antiviral agents (DAAs) on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus & hepatitis C virus genotype 4.

Background And Aims: It is widely recognized that chronic hepatitis C is a metabolic disease that is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance (IR). The evidence behind the effect of Direct Anti-Viral Agents (DAAs) therapy on T2DM is conflicting. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with DAAs on glycemic control in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus and chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 4.
