Serum AFP & ALT.
Abstract
Serum AFP & ALT were measured serially in 80 patients with acute Viral hepatitis. AFP which is fetal protein, normally found in adults in a very low concentration. ALT level is measured to evaluate the extent of hepato cellular injury. Aims & Objective: to find the correlation between AFP and ALT in Viral hepatitis patients. To establish AFP as a routine investigation in patients with chronic hepatitis. The level of AFP increased moderately during the course of illness in almost all cases. Majority of cases showed moderate increase, but in 10 patients level of AFP were comparatively very high. In 20 patients, the AFP concentration increased as ALT level (used as an Index for hepatocyte damage) was returning to normal. In remaining patients, the AFP level paralleled that of ALT, suggesting an acute phase reaction to live injury.
