Abstract

Infection associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major health problem and is one of the most important causes of chronic liver diseases and the most common causes of end stage liver diseases. After a long-time of discussions, the link between HCV and autoimmune disorders was proven. Inteferon treatment may also play a huge role in these processes. To prevent this, analysis of thyroid gland's hormones, including antibodies, must be done before, during and after 6 months of IFN therapy, to find any abnormalities timely. New therapy is safer, with less side effects, but still are very expensive and a large proportion of patients may not have access to them.
