Changes in Liver Fibrosis, Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance in HCV Patients Who Received Antiviral Therapy

Serum samples will be withdrawn after fasting 12 hours then performed on Siemens Dimension Max: Total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations will be estimated using enzymatic methods ( Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). High density lipoprotein cholesterol will be determined after precipitation with phosphotungstic acid/magnesium chloride. Low density lipoprotein(LDL) cholesterol will be measured directly with a commercially available direct LDL-C assay (LDL-C Plus assay; Roche Diagnostics)
