Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between serum ferritin and diabetes mellitus in chronic HCV liver disease patients .
It is clear that diabetes mellitus can be included to the long list of extra hepatic manifestations of hepatitis C virus infection. Incidence of diabetes mellitus is markedly higher in chronic hepatitis C patients than chronic HBV patients and alcohol related liver disease . The association of HCV infection and DM is present, even before the onset of cirrhosis.
