Objective To detect the serum anti‐sialic acid glycoprotein receptor antibody (anti‐ASGPR) levels in the patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) ,chronic hepatitis C (CHC)and healthy people ,and to observe the relationship between anti‐ASGPR and the disease development in the patients with hepatitis .Methods Totally 60 patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection(30 cases of CHB and 30 cases of CHB cirrhosis) and 60 patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection(30 cases of CHC and 30 cases of CHC cirrhosis) were selected with 60 persons undergoing the physical examination as the control group .The anti‐ASGPR and ALT levels in all research subjects were detected with ELISA .Results (1)The anti‐ASGPR level in the HBV and HCV infection groups was significantly higher compared with the control group ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .01) .The an‐ti‐ASGPR level in the CHB cirrhosis group was significantly higher than that in the CHB group ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The anti‐ASGPR level in the CHC cirrhosis group was significantly higher than that in the CHC group ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .No correlation between anti‐ASGPR and ALT was found .(2) The anti‐ASG‐PR level in the CHC group was significantly higher than that in the CHB group ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .01) .Conclusion The detection of anti‐ASGPR is helpful for clinical differential diagnosis and has an important significance for the treatment and prognosis .
