To estimate interleukines levels in chronic hepatitis (CH) in respect to CH etiological factor, activity and stage.Enzyme immunoassay (kits from proteinovy Kontur, St-Petersburg) determined levels of IL-1 beta, IL-4, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in the peripheral blood of 250 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), B (CHB), D (CHD) and G (CHG).IL concentrations in chronic viral hepatitis depend on etiological factor (CHC, CHB, CHD, CHG), activity (high, moderate, low), stage (chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis). IL occur in high quantities in CHC, in moderate concentrations in CHB and in minimal ones in CHG. Maximal IL levels were observed in high hepatitis activity at the stage of hepatic cirrhosis. TNF-alpha and IL-4 concentrations rose more frequently and higher than IL-6 and IL-1 beta (43 and 34%, up to 315 pg/ml and 256 pg/ml, respectively). |
