| Popis: |
In the present study, the plasma levels of lipoproteins, triglycerides, and cholesterol were followed serially in a group of 57 patients with acute viral hepatitis. Mean plasma triglyceride levels were found elevated at the onset of the disease and gradually returned to normal, while mean plasma cholesterol values, low initially, gradually increased, alpha-lipoprotein was absent at the early stage of hepatitis in 41 out of 46 patients with mild or moderate course and reappeared gradually during the course of the disease. In 11 cases of viral hepatitis with impending or overt coma, alpha-lipoprotein was absent for the whole duration of the acute stage and never reappeared in those who eventually died, while it eventually returned to normal in those who survived. The reappearance of alpha-lipoprotein in acute viral hepatitis appears to be a sensitive index of improvement and a significant prognostic sign. |
