This research was conducted on 30 patients infected with hepatitis C virus and 10 control normal volunteers after taking consent of them in order to evaluate the liver function and antioxidants profile after treatment with combination of Sofosbuvir and Ribaverin in hepatitis C virus patients. The results showed significant reduction of elevated levels of L-Malondialdhyde, Alanine Aminotrasferase, Aspartate Aminotrasferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Albumin, Total protein, Total bilirubin and α-fetoprotein mean while significant increase in glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase activity upon treatment with combination of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin.
