Summary

The goal of this observational study was to study the occurrence of insulin resistance in hepatitis C virus infected children who were either thalassemic or survivors of childhood malignancy and its correlation to the HCV viral load and other metabolic factors.

The main question it aims to answer is:

1. Do children infected with Hepatitis C have a higher incidence of Insulin resistance compared to healthy controls of same age and gender?
2. Is Insulin resistance occurence affected by HCV viral load, blood transfusion frequency, or metabolic factors? Researchers will compare hepatitis c infected children who are either thalassemic or survivors of childhood malignant to healthy age and sex matched controls.

Participants will be subjected to:

* standardized Questionnaires,
* physical examination and
* laboratory investigations including liver functions (ALT, AST, Alkaline phosphatase), Prothrombin time, serum ferritin level, albumin, fasting glucose, fasting insulin level and Insulin resistance assessment by HOMA IR calculation.
