Description

Biochemical and radiochemical analysis were performed on blood of egyptian men infected with hepatitis B, C and mixed B and C viruses as well as normal controls. The results revealed remarkable significant and very highly significant increases in ALT and AST activities in all patient groups. Regarding ALP enzyme, it showed significant increases in hepatitis C (Gr.III) and mixed hepatitis B and C (Gr. IV), whereas it showed a highly significant decrease in hepatitis B virus (Gr.II). GGT activity was highly significantly increased in Gr.II and Gr.III while non-significant change in Gr.IV was detected. Some biochemical compounds in blood especially phosphorus might taken as an early diagnostic tool for hepatitis phosphorus might taken as an early diagnostic tool for hepatitis B and C viruses. Inorganic phosphorus showed very high significant decreases in Gr.III and Gr.IV and a significant decrease in Gr.II. In respect with organic phosphorus, there were very high significant decrease in Gr.III, significant decrease in Gr.II and high significant decrease in Gr.IV
