Background: Long-lasting hepatitis C contamination also liver cirrhosis remains very elongated-tenure illness that happens as worm stays in the current patient body. Objective: The main objective of our current research was to measure occurrence of thyroid illnesses in HCV cases persuaded through interferon. Methodology: Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional examination. forty-five folks were taken encountering Hepatitis C taking interferon nearby 35 for all intents and functions indistinguishable strong individuals consolidated into the examination at Mayo Hospital Lahore and Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Study Duration: January 2017 to January 2018. Five ml venous blood used to be drawn and encountered the machine of centrifugation at 3500-4500 rpm for 20-25 minutes for the serum segregation. Age, serum FT4, serum AST, serum ALT, serum ALP, TP and TB and MDA degree was once surveyed. Data was once analyzed via using SPSS 22. Results: Age was astoundingly more in sufferers (42±14 years) when stood out from sound subjects (33±6 years) and critical precisely (p=0.004). Serum FT4 level in sufferers used to be (19.6 ± 7.3 years) and ordinary humans (15.6 ± 3.5) simple quantifiably. (p=0.05). AST stage in undesirable folks was (49±23) whilst in sturdy folks was (33±9) moreover important quantifiably. (p=0.002). Malondialdehyde (MDA) in HCV patients raised (12±3.2) when seemed in a different way in relation to sound subjects (4.3 ± 2.3) and exhibited that it was quantifiably considerable (p=0.001). Conclusion: Present examination assumed that robust relationship exists between HCV, Thyroid trouble and Oxidative weight. As a result of the prolonged lipid peroxidation, MDA degree was prolonged whilst the supreme protein (TP) degree in the serum decreased. High lipid peroxidation and prolonged serum AST degree have been locked in with the improvement of disease. Key Words: AST, ALT, MDA, Interferon, Thyroid illness, FT4.
