Abstract Apolipoproteins A-I, A-II and B were evaluated in 18 chronic active hepatitis and 27 liver cirrhotic patients. The latter were also divided into compensated and decompensated subgroups. Significantly low values of apolipoproteins A-II and B were seen in chronic active hepatitis and liver cirrhotic patients, while apolipoprotein A-I was decreased in liver cirrhotic patients only. Chronic active hepatitis had higher apolipoprotein values than liver cirrhosis and in the latter one decompensated subgroup showed lower apolipoprotein levels than the compensated one. Apolipoproteins A-I, A-II and B correlated also well with prothrombin activity (Normotest) in liver cirrhotic patients, especially the apolipoprotein A-II values. This study suggests that serum values of apolipoproteins are affected by the type of liver damage and that their decrease could be partly due to impaired liver synthesis.

Abstract
Abstract Apolipoproteins A-I, A-II and B were evaluated in 18 chronic active hepatitis and 27 liver cirrhotic patients. The latter were also divided into compensated and decompensated subgroups. Significantly low values of apolipoproteins A-II and B were seen in chronic active hepatitis and liver cirrhotic patients, while apolipoprotein A-I was decreased in liver cirrhotic patients only. Chronic active hepatitis had higher apolipoprotein values than liver cirrhosis and in the latter one decompensated subgroup showed lower apolipoprotein levels than the compensated one. Apolipoproteins A-I, A-II and B correlated also well with prothrombin activity (Normotest) in liver cirrhotic patients, especially the apolipoprotein A-II values. This study suggests that serum values of apolipoproteins are affected by the type of liver damage and that their decrease could be partly due to impaired liver synthesis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
