53 Conclusions HCV infection and metabolic alterations are commonly associated, data existing about the ability of HCV to induce them, and of metabolic alterations to affect the prognosis of HCVinfected patients HCV eradication could lead to some improvement in metabolic alterations The management of metabolic alterations after SVR could improve the prognosis of HCV-infected patients
