Abstract

60 patients with acute viral hepatitis have been evaluated for their sonographic and laboratory features. 28 of the case were diagnosed to have hepatitis A and 32 of them to have hepatitis B. After both sonographic and biochemical findings were examined, we observed that the hepatit A cases had splenomegaly in 46%, hepatomegaly in 47%, decreases in liver echogenicity in 64% and gallbladder thickening, gallbladder volume loss, gallbladder content changes in 71%, while the cases with hepatitis B showed these findings 28%, 31%,37% and 65% respectively. For the cases with hepatitis A, there was an elevation in serum bilirubin levels in 19(73%) and serum ALT levels in 20(81%) of them, while for the cases with hepatitis B, the increases was in 23(67%) and 26(71%) cases respectively. This study has shown that sonographic and laboratory features are nonspesific, but still useful and supportive.

Özet

Akut viral hepatit tanısı konulan 60 hastanın, ultrasonografik ve laboratuar özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Hastaların ultrasonografi ve biyokimyasal tetkikleri gerçekleştirildi. Olguların 28'i A, 32'si B hepatit hastasıydı. A hepatitli hastaların %46'sında splenomegali, %47'inde hepatomegali, %64'ünde karaciğer ekojenitesinde azalma, ve %71'inde duvar kalınlığının artması, volümünün azalması ve içeriğinin değişmesi gibi safra kesesi bulguları görüldü. B hepatitli hastalarda ise aynı bulgular sırasıyla %28, %31, %37 ve %65 oranlarında bulundu. A hepatitli hastaların 19(%73)'unda serum bilirubin ve 20(%81)'sinde serum ALT seviyeleri artmıştı. B hepatitli hastaların ise 23 (%67)"ünde serum bilirubin ve 26 (%71)'sında serum ALT seviyeleri yüksek bulundu. Bu çalışma, akut viral hepatitli olgularda sonografik ve laboratuar özelliklerin nonspesifik olduğunu, fakat yararlı ve destekleyici bulgular verdiğini göstermiştir.
