Fundamento

Investigar si la elevada prevalencia de diabetes en los pacientes infectados por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) se relaciona con los depósitos de hierro.

Sujetos métodos

Se determinaron las concentraciones séricas de ferritina en 123 pacientes infectados por el VHC (55 diabéticos 68 no diabéticos).

Resultados

Los pacientes diabéticos presentaron concentraciones de ferritina más elevadas que los no diabéticos (205 ng/ml [14-861] frente a 58 ng/ml [15-494];p < 0,0001).

Conclusiones

La ferritinemia se relaciona directamente con la presencia de diabetes en pacientes infectados por el VHC.

Background

To investigate whether the high prevalence of diabetes observed in patients infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated to iron stores.

Patients and methods

Serum ferritin levels were determined in 123 patients infected by HCV (55 diabetic and 68 non-diabetic).

Results

Serum ferritin concentrations were higher in diabetic than in non-diabetic patients (205 ng/ml [14-861] vs. 58 ng/ml [15-494]; p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Serum ferritin levels are related with the presence of diabetes in patients infected by HCV.
