Description

Serum CEA was studied in 31 hemodialysis patients: 12 chronic hepatitis B virus carriers with circulating HBsAg-IgM complexes, 8 HBsAg positive and 11 HBsAg negative patients. Three commercial RIA methods were used comparatively. Serum levels of CEA were found to be significantly increased in the group with circulating HBsAg-IgM complexes, as compared with the HBsAg negative patients. The important role of the liver in the metabolism of CEA in these patients is postulated. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Bei 31 Dialyse-Patienten (davon 12 mit chronischer Hepatitis B und zirkulierenden HBsAg-IgM-Komplexen, 8 HBsAg-positive und 11 HBsAg-negative Patienten) wurde das Serum-CEA bestimmt. Hierzu wurden 3 kommerzielle RIA-Teste verwandt. Im Vergleich zu HBsAg-negativen Patienten zeigten die Erkrankten mit HBsAg-IgM-Komplexen signifikant hoehere Werte fuer CEA. Anhand dieser Befunde wird auf die bedeutsame Rolle der Leber fuer den CEA-Metabolismus hingewiesen. (orig.)
