Abstract

The aim of this study was to determinate the prevalence of hepatitis virus antibodies (A,B,C) in chronic alcoholics, who showed hepatic damages in var¬ious degree. The second aim was to determinate if there is any significant correlation between presence of hepati¬tis virus antibodies and severity of alcoholic hepatic damage or not. Forty-three patients were studied. Five of these were excluded, because of HBsAg positivity. In the remaining 38 patients anti HCV was negative. There was no any significant correlation between preva¬lence of hepatitis B virus antibodies and severity of he¬patic pathology.

Özet

Bu çalışmada normal karaciğer veya yağlanma¬dan siroza kadar çeşitli derecelerde karaciğer hasarı saptanan kronik alkoliklerde hepatit virüsleri (A,B ve C) antikorlarının prevalansı ve bu antikorların varlığı ile alkolik karaciğer patolojisinin ciddiyeti arasında an¬lamlı bir bağlantının var olup olmadığını araştırmak amaçlandı. 43 erkek hasta çalışmaya alındı. Bunlar¬dan 5'i HBsAg (+)'liği nedeniyle çalışma d\şı bırakıldı. Geriye kalan 38 hastanın hiçbirinde anti-HCV antiko¬runa rastlanmadı. B virüs antikorlarının prevalansı ile karaciğer patolojisi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptan¬madı.
