NCT ID NCT07238530
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study checked whether children with hepatitis C who also have thalassemia or survived childhood cancer are more likely to develop insulin resistance (a step toward diabetes). Researchers compared 90 infected children to healthy kids of the same age and gender. They measured blood sugar, insulin, and liver function, but did not give any treatment.
