Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum ferritin level(SF),serum iron(SI) level in patients with chronic hepatitic B.Methods SF was measured by radioimmunoassay,serum iron was measured through atomic absorption spectrometry.Results Chronic HBV infectors mostly had high level of SF and SI,with severity of illness state increasing,especially in the group of severe hepatitis.The levels of SF and SI correlated with HBV duplication to a certain extent and specifically SF and SI increased with the increase of virus duplication.However,it had no statistical significance.Among the sufferers of hepatocirrhosis,numerical values of SF and SI turned to increase with the rank of Child-Pugh(A,B and C) and SF had the correlation with LN(the index of hepatic fibrosis).Patients of hepatocirrhosis with a high SF level had higher frequency of complications occurrence and reoccurrence,the clinical post-cure effects were worse.Conclusion SF and SI can be reference index in forecasting the degree of disease state,hepatic fibrosis and clinical post-cure.
