[Prostaglandin E in acute viral hepatitis]
Klinicheskaia Meditsina
|January 1, 1993
Abstract:
Prostaglandin E levels were measured in the blood of 47 patients with acute viral hepatitis B (VHB), 17 patients with viral hepatitis A (VHA) and 15 healthy donors. Radioimmunoassay determined HBsAg concentrations in VHB patients' serum. Compared to the donors, prostaglandin E levels lowered significantly in VHB, but insignificantly in VHA. An inverse relationship occurred between prostaglandin E values in VHB and HBsAg concentrations.
