Background: Pakistan is the country where hepatitis C (HCV) is the most prevalent on the planet. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that increases in HCV-infected cases. A few studies have recommended that IL-6 perform important work in light of HCV treatment. In any case, its use for recognition of the reaction to SOF/SMV treatment is misty. Result: Study the conceivable work of IL-6 on the reply status of HCV cases following treatment with sofosbuvir (SOF) and simeprevir (SMV) for one year and discover the plausibility of its use as an outcome indicator for HCV. Patients and Methods: Our current research was conducted at Lahore general Hospital, Lahore from March 2018 to May 2019. Fifty-seven breast cancer patients participated in this review. PCR for viral action discovery was performed before treatment, after one and a half and 18 weeks from the earliest starting point of treatment and as indicated by the sequelae of PCR, patients were divided into: (4Non-respondents) and (53 respondents). A quarter of a year later, after the end of treatment, the PCR was reformulated at the respondent gathering and 50 respondents created the Sustained Virologic Response (SVR). Patient groups were in contrast to the control group, which included 26 healthy subjects. Estimated parameters included: CBC, fasting plasma glucose, liver capacity tests, counting (serum bilirubin "add and direct", serum egg white and prothrombin time and international normalization ratio, ALT, AST and ALP, viral markers counting: hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C immunizer by ELISA, kidney markers including creatinine, feto protein by ELISA. The IL-6 was estimated using a financially accessible quantitative quantification ELISA unit. Results: The average estimates of the average IL-6 level for respondents and non-respondents were 275.97 and 235.6 pg/ml separately. IL-6 levels decreased fundamentally after processing in collection of SVRs. The best threshold for IL-6 was 236 pg/ml with an affectability of 76% and an explanation of 77%. Conclusion: The virologic response during HCV treatment was related to a decrease in IL-6 levels. IL-7 could be used to predict the response of HCV to the treatment of SOF and SFV.
