Fibronectin, albumin and liver enzymes found to be similar for both groups when biochemical parameters were compared for chronic hepatitis patients according to the etiologic agent (B, C). The results of all parameters were non-significant
| Chronic Hepatitis B (n = 16) | Chronic Hepatitis C (n = 4) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fibronectin (μg/mL) | 129.5 (SD 49.2) | 160.8 (SD 15.4) |
| AST (U/L) | 81.81 (SD 61.84) | 70.50 (SD 47.93) |
| ALT (U/L) | 146.00 (SD 150.50) | 108.25 (SD 96.83) |
| LDH (U/L) | 434.37 (SD 71.81) | 432.35 (SD 67.71) |
| GGT (U/L) | 58.19 (SD 32.61) | 56.50 (SD 20.57) |
| ALP (U/L) | 110.56 (SD 45.30) | 112.00 (SD 33.66) |
| ALB (g/dL) | 4.05 (SD 0.35) | 3.75 (SD 0.23) |
Abbreviations: albumin = ALB; alkaline phosphatase = ALP; alanine aminotransferase = ALT; aspartate aminotransferase = AST; gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase = GGT; lactate dehydrogenase = LDH.
