Journal Title: Journal of Indus Medical College - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the lipid profile amongst individuals having chronic hepatitis C. Patients and Methods: This Hospital based observational study was done in the Medical wards, Indus Medical College Hospital, Tando Muhammad Khan during six months period( March 2017 to September 2017 ) and individuals having chronic hepatitis C were enrolled inside this research study. Fasting lipid profile sampling was taken from every single one individuals having chronic hepatitis C. Results: Total 150 patients were included. Mean age +SD was 46.35 + 2.5 (ranged 20 to 65 years). The majority of individuals 141(94.0%) demonstrate reduced levels of serum triglycerides. Low level of cholesterol was observed in 20 individuals, Levels were Low to normal in 127 persons. Hypercholesterolemia was revealed in 3 individuals i.e. 3 (2.0%). Total cholesterol, triglycerides, High Density Lipoprotein and Low Density Lipoprotein levels were less in majority of the cases. A few patients showed hyperlipidemia and some patients had normal lipid profile. It demonstrates that disturbed blood lipid pattern is a universal and frequent outcome in persons having from hepatitis C for prolonged period. Conclusion: Disturbed lipid profile is a usual outcome in chronic hepatitis C. Blood Lipid levels should be checked in all persons suffering from chronic hepatitis C.
