Core Tip	A specific pathophysiologic feature of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is whole-body insulin resistance, which is related to oxidative stress, lipid metabolism abnormalities, hepatic steatosis, and iron overload. Host metabolic factors synergistically enhance the HCV-induced metabolic disturbance, affectively deteriorating the clinical course in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Consequently, diet, lifestyle and medications appropriate for metabolic disorders are important for management of HCV-infected patients to improve their prognosis.
