ABSTRACT
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often associated with fatty liver. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) deficiency is one of the known causes of fatty liver and acquired ApoB deficiency has recently been reported with HCV infection. We report two patients (47-year-old lady and 48-year-old man) who had asymptomatic transaminase elevation, fatty liver, anti-HCV positive with high viral load (genotype 3). Their lipid profile showed low total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides and ApoB. One of the patients who received treatment for HCV infection showed improvement in lipid profile and ApoB levels.
