Abstract

Hepatitis C virus is one of the most dangerous and contagious diseases, as its danger lies in the absence of obvious symptoms at the beginning of the infection. Over time, some signs may appear, such as yellowing of the skin , eyes and abdominal pain, but in advanced cases, it may lead to cirrhosis of the liver and may lead to death. The current study aims to know the extent of liver damage to infection with the virus by measuring some biochemical variables such as direct, indirect and total bilirubin, and on the other hand, measuring interleukin-28b to determine the extent of the immune response, The results showed a significant increase in direct and total bilirubin, as well as a significant increase in the concentration of Interleukin-28 b.
