HCV infection causes significant cytopenias, notably thrombocytopenia and hypoalbuminemia, impacting patient management.
Patients with chronic HCV showed a reduction in hemoglobin by 2.3 g/dL, WBC by 1.7 ×10⁹/L, and platelets by 100 ×10⁹/L.
A cross-sectional analysis of 160 individuals, including 80 HCV-positive patients and 80 healthy controls, was performed.
Results support the importance of monitoring hematological and biochemical parameters for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
