Association of hepatitis C virus genotype with glycolipid iron metabolism in Gansu Han population

Objective: To investigate the association of hepatitis C virus(HCV) genotype with glycolipids iron metabolism in Gansu Han population.Methods: The genotypes of HCV 1b type and 2a type were detected in Gansu Han HCV carriers.The Glu,Insulin,CHOL,TG,UIBC,TRF,TIBC,SF,Serum Iron,AST,ALT,TBil,IBil,DBil,ALP,GGT were measured and compared between patients with different HCV genotypes.Results: There were 84 cases with HCV1b type and 136 cases with 2a type.There were significant differences in TG,ALT,TRF,TIBC between 1b type and 2a type genotype HCV carriers.Conclusion: The 2a type HCV carriers may be more inclined to develop hyperlipidemia and liver damage,and 1b type HCV carriers are likely to have iron metabolism defect.
