Abstract:
Objective To investigate clinical significance of serum retinol -binding protein(RBP)in chron-ic hepatitis B(CHB)and liver cirrhosis after hepatitis B infection(LC).Methods 109 hospitalized patients were involved in this study.They were 51 patients with CHB,58 patients with LC.56 healthy individuals were selected as the the health controls(HC).RBP,ALT,AST,GGT,LDH,TBIL,PA and ALB were analyzed by automatic biochemical analyzer.Results Decreased serum RBP was observed in patients with CHB and LC(CHB vs.HC:t =8.06,P <0.01;LC vs.HC:t =10.26,P <0.01).In addition,the concentration of serum RBP in group of LC was lower than that in CHB(t =3.41,P <0.01).RBP was positively correlated with PA in patients with CHB and LC(CHB:r =0.856,P <0.01;LC:r =0.737,P <0.01),and RBP was positively correlated with ALB in patients with CHB and LC (CHB:r =0.571,P <0.01;LC:r =0.328,P <0.05).ROC analysis showed that area under the receiver operator characteristic curve(AUC)in CHB and LC were 0.874 and 0.942,respectively.Conclusion Serum RBP decreases significantly in patients with CHB and LC.Serum level of RBP is associated with severity of liver diseases and maybe a potential prognostic index for liver disease.
