Evaluation the Level of Interleukin 2 and 6’ Receptors in Hepatitis-C Patients in Wasit Province / Iraq

Abstract

Viral hepatitis type C, is a disease happened due to entering of Hepatitis C virus the body and reaching theliver. It will multiplication and stimulates the patient’s immune system to attack the infected cells, thereforewill caused the liver inflammation. Our study included (35) HCV patient’s blood samples and had beencompared with (30) control’s blood samples. When the interleukin 2 receptors’ and interleukin 6receptors’level and some of a biochemical test (ALT, AST, ALP, TSB) had been measured. We observed a significantincreasing (P<0.05) in the value of biochemical parameters (ALT, AST, ALP, TSB) of patients compared tohealthy. Also there was a significant increasing (P<0.05) in Interleukin 2&6 receptors in patients comparedto healthy. From the results a presence of a direct correlation had been indicated between the interleukin-2receptors and (ALT, AST), and reversed correlation between Interleukin 2 receptors and (TSB, ALP)apresence of a direct correlation indicated between the interleukin-6 receptors and (ALT, TSB), and reversedcorrelation between Interleukin-6 receptors and (AST, ALP)Hepatitis C virus, HCV, Interleukin-2, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-2 Receptors, Interleukin-6Receptors, IL6, IL2, IL2Rs, IL6Rs.
