| Abstract |
| Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major global disease that frequently causes chronicity and has the potential to cause liver failure and it is widespread in Egypt. The current study aimed to explore the potential correlation between quantitatively detected virus C load using quantitative reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) assay and some immunological, biochemical and hematological biomarkers. Results from 600 HCV-positive people age ranged between 25 and 55 years old were analyzed using the Prism, a computer program (Graph Pad software. Version 5, San Diego, CA), concluded that, there were a significant relation between HCV viral load and immuno-biological biomarkers. Also, the present study referred to the efficacy of Sofosbuvir/Daclatsvir combined therapy where 100% SVR in all patients. |
