Abstract

The main indicators of quality of life in patients with chronic hepatitis C with concomitant diabetes mellitus type II were studied on the basis of SF-36. A sharp decrease in physical and mental health was observed in patients with combined comorbidity in comparison with the group of patients without concomitant diabetes mellitus type II. Improvement of the patients’ quality of life by all parameters was detected under the influence of alpha-lipoic acid and lactulose use in addition to antiviral therapy.
