Abstract:
The plasma levels of alpha-lipoproteins, triglycerides, cholesterol, bilirubin, ALT and AST were followed serially in a group of 10 patients with acute viral hepatitis. Hypertrygliceridaemia, low level of cholesterol and very low level of alpha band of the lipoproteins were found at the onset of the disease. Alpha-lipoprotein reappeared gradually during the course of the disease and was sensitive indices of improvement of liver function. A negative linear correlation was found between alpha-lipoprotein and total bilirubin and between alpha-lipoprotein and ALT.
