Hepatitis C Virus Clearance with Glucose Improvement and Factors Affecting the Glucose Control in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to investigate whether the glucose level improves and what factors affect the improvement in glucose control after the eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV). A total of 1090 patients with HCV infections were enrolled, among which 278 (25.5%) patients were diagnosed with prediabetes, and 89 (8.16%) patients were diagnosed with diabetes.
