Abstract:
54 patients with acute viral hepatitis of which hepatic coma (8), uncompensate cirrhosis (17) and liver cancer (14) participated to a study have shown that the serum gamma glutamyl transpeptidase ((-GT) activity was slightly increased in patients with viral hepatitis coma and uncompensate cirrhosis. This was a bad sign the (-GT was highly increased in patients with liver cancer. The average serum (-GT activity was increased about 3 times in the acute viral hepatitis. But diagnostic value of (-GT was lower than this of SGPT
