title: [Insulin resistance disturbances in patients with HCV infection].
abstract: The aim of investigation was to study the impact of insulin resistance in patients with HCV infection. 130 patients were investigated: 20 with acute hepatitis C; 38 with chronic hepatitis C; 72 with cirrhosis. The study demonstrated, that the serum level of C-peptide and Insulin in patients with liver cirrhosis is higher, than in patients with acute and chronic HCV infection.
