Popis: The achievement of virological response in the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) can improve the extrahepatic manifestations. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of HCV eradication after sofosbuvir/daclatasvir (SOF/DCV) therapy on hematological and inflammatory biomarkers in type 2 diabetic patients infected with HCV genotype 4. Between October 2017 and August 2018, among 145 patients with HCV genotype 4, 30 patients were enrolled in the study based on the fact that they have type 2 diabetes. Enrolled HCV-diabetic patients were treated for 12 weeks with SOF/DCV regimen. Patients were screened by laboratory investigations before treatment (baseline values) and after HCV treatment (post-treatment values). Additionally, 30 healthy individuals were enrolled as a control group. Among the patient’s cohort, the sustained virological response was achieved by 100% of the treated patients after 12 weeks of SOF/DCV therapy. Moreover, the levels of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), nitric oxide, interleukin-1β, red cell distribution width, platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume were improved significantly (P
