The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense Ribo-Nucleic Acid virus which is a major cause of chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and infects approximately 3 % of the world population(150-170 million).

Antiretroviral therapy has changed the natural history of HIV infection. However, antiretroviral therapy must be maintained for life. Its potential long-term adverse effects may interact synergistically with the ageing process, resulting in a higher incidence of comorbidities. The increasing number
OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a public health problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The presence of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD is a risk factor for its progression to a more severe liver disease known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
