Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between serum iron, serum ferritin and alcoholic fatty liver(AFL), nonalcoholic fatty liver(NFAL). Methods The liver specimens of 97 patients with fatty liver were obtained by 1 second liver biopsy, and were further stained by haematoxylin eosin(HE) and Perl's Prussian. Meanwhile the serum levels of iron and ferritin were detected by atomic absorption spectrum and radioimmunoassay respectively. Results Compare to the control group ((10.5?5.7)?mol/L, (143.3?71.9)ng/ml),the serum levels of iron and ferritin were obviously high in patients with severe NAFL ((21.5 ?11.1 ) ?mol/L , (199.3?72.1)ng/ml) or moderate AFL((20.9? 9.3 )?mol/L,(217.6.0?71.8)ng/ml) and severe AFL ((29.1?6.5) ?mol/L ,(284.7?77.9)ng/ml) ( P
