Abstract:
Serum a-1-antitrypsin (a-1-AT) was determined in 40 patients with chronic viral hepatitis. The assay is based on the method used for quantitative determination of a-1-AT by rate nephelometry of antigen antibody complex. The results indicate that serum a-1-AT levels of patients chronic viral hepatitis is greater than of normal subjects. The linear correlation were found between serum a-1-AT levels and ALAT, ASAT activities, total bilirubin with r = 0.03; 0.43; 0.45 respectively.
