Description

Objective: To explore the relationship between serum leptin and HA, PIIIP levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods: Serum leptin, HA and PIIIP levels were measured with RIA in 32 patients with chronic hepatitis C and 35 controls. Results: Serum leptin, HA and PIIIP levels were significantly higher in patients with chronic hepatitis C than those in controls (P< 0.01), Serum levels of leptin were positively correlated with HA, PIIIP levels (r=0.6178, 0.5706, P<0.01). Conclusion: Serum leptin earl be regarded as an indicator which reflects the severity of liver in flammation, and is of important clinical values. (authors)
