Background and Purpose: The development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle factors like obesity, lack of physical activity and stress. T2DM can develop in chronic liver disease (CLD) though its actual mechanism is not fully understood. In case of hepatitis B virus (HBV) related CLD, HBV infection has been directly related to development of abnormal glucose metabolism by pancreatic islets cell injury. Development of Insulin resistance in case of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the key pathogenesis of development of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to study the magnitude of the problem of T2DM among the patients with various types of CLD and to find out the association of diabetes mellitus with the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient admitted in Medicine ward in Dhaka Medical College Hospital.Methods: This was an observational cross sectional study of 60 patients admitted into department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical college hospital between June, 2013 to December, 2013. It included all patients ?18 years of age and admitted with CLD. A diagnosis of CLD was made clinically by any 2 stigmata of liver disease and biochemical, ultrasonographic, endoscopic evidence of esophageal varices ± liver biopsy.Results: Of the total 60 CLD patients, 40 (66.7%) suffered from chronic HBV infection, 11 (18.3%) chronic HCV infection and alcoholic liver disease 5 (8.3%), Autoimmune 1 (1.7%), Wilson disease 1 (1.7%) and unknown cause were 2 (3.3%). Among the study subjects 21.67% had overt Diabetes Mellitus and it was found to be highest among those with chronic hepatitis C (36.4%) and those with chronic hepatitis B (20%) alcohol (20%). Type 2 DM was significantly higher among the CLD patients aged more than 50 years or more.Conclusions: It can be concluded that the occurrence of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) could be a matter of great concern in CLD patients, indicating towards the need for regular monitoring of the glycemic status in these patients, which would have a definite role upon the treatment strategy.J MEDICINE July 2017; 18 (2) : 68-74

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). HCV infection and type 2 diabetes are two common disorders with a high impact on health worldwide. There is growing evidenceto support the concept that HCV infection is a risk factor for developing type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Both insulin resistance and diabetes canadversely affect the course of chronic hepatitis C, and lead to poor response to antiviral therapy and increased incidence of Hepatocellularcarcinoma. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the frequency of type 2 Diabetes mellitus in newly diagnosed chronichepatitis C patients presenting in Allied hospital Medical unit II during six month period. Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Medicalunit-II, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: 01-08-2009 to 28-02-2010. Material and methods: All newly diagnosed patients of chronichepatitis C on the basis of PCR for HCV-RNA were included in the study. Fasting and two hours postprandial blood sample were tested.Diabetes Mellitus was labeled as per slandered. Results: Out of 180 patients with CHC 19 (10.6%) were found to have Diabetes mellituswhile 161(89.4%) were non-diabetics. Conclusions: There is close association in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patientswith chronic hepatitis C.

Background and aims: The type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common comorbidity of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). This study intended to investigate the impact of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs)-induced sustained virological response (SVR) on glycometabolism in CHC patients with T2DM. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase up to July 7th, 2021. Studies reporting the association between DAA-induced SVR and glycometabolism in diabetic patients were retained. Changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels before DAA treatment and after SVR were conducted meta-analyses with random-effects models. Results: 1371 potentially relevant articles were screened. Our analysis included 16 studies with data for 5024 patients. A significant improvement was noted in glycemic control in SVR group, with a mean HbA1c reduction of 0.57% (95% CI: 0.46–0.69%; I=72.8%) and FPG reduction of 22.28mg/dL (95% CI: 13.35–31.21mg/dL; I=96.18%). Conversely, changes of HbA1c in non-SVR group were a mean increase of 0.03% (95% CI: -0.15–0.22%; I=68.75%). Subgroup analyses about HbA1c and FPG classified by study type both showed decline of the two indicators after SVR, and especially a reduction of HbA1c, 0.52% (95% CI: 0.39–0.65%; I=73.5%) in retrospective study subgroup and 0.70% (95% CI: 0.54–0.87%; I=36.15%) in prospective study subgroup, indicating lower heterogeneity in prospective studies. Egger’s test suggested publication bias in impact of DAAs on FPG, and no publication bias in impact on HbA1c. Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness of the results. Conclusion: The glyco-metabolic control improved in terms of HbA1c and FPG level after DAA-induced SVR. However, further large and well-designed prospective cohort studies are still warranted and a prolonged follow-up is needed.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is commonly reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC); however, the factors behind the co-occurrence of these conditions have not been completely clarified yet. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of mental disorders in CHC patients and to investigate variables associated with MDD. METHODS: CHC patients (n=151) attending a referral Centre for hepatitis were evaluated using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatry Interview and the Cut-Annoyed-Guilty-Eye (CAGE) Questionnaire. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate independent covariates associated with current MDD. RESULTS: Seventy-six (50.3%) patients had, at least, one current psychiatric diagnosis with MDD (33.1%) being the most common. Current MDD was independently associated with age (≤50 yr.) (OR=2.57; 95%CI=1.25-5.29; P=0.01) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR=2.80, 95%CI=1.17-6.70; P=0.02). Cirrhosis was associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR=5.09; 95%CI=1.73-15.04; P=0.03) and current alcohol abuse/dependence (OR=2.54; 95%CI=1.04-6.22; P=0.04). DISCUSSION: MDD is associated with type 2 diabetes in CHC patients. Even in the direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) era, characterized by great perspectives for the first ample cure of a chronic viral infection, we should ensure that the screening for psychiatric disorders takes place in the course of routine clinical care of patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus.
