high morbidity and mortality from chronic
liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular
carcinoma. Approximately 20% of Egyptiancarcinoma. Approximately 20% of Egyptian

Conclusion.
• Overweight and obesity represented as
“Hepatic steatosis” are underestimated risk
factors in HCV chronic patients.
• Morbid obesity and HCV Can act
synergistically with liver fibrosis and fighting
each one is not less important than the other .

Recommendations
• Weight management programmes (or even
bariatric surgeries) should be prescribed tobariatric surgeries) should be prescribed to
every patient who is HCV +ve and obese.
