Abstract

AIM: To investigate the alterations of red blood cell (RBC) immunoadherence function in patients with hepatitis B.

METHODS: RBCC3bRR, RBCICRR and serum CIC levels were measured in 42 patients with acute and chronic hepatitis B at active and convalescence stages.

RESULTS: RBCC3bRRs at the active/acute stage of hepatitis were decreased, with 13.54% ± 5.23% in acute hepatitis, 7.61% ± 4.12% in acute fulminant hepatitis, and 16.18% ± 6.10% in chronic hepatitis, all of which were lower than the value in normal persons (18.12% ± 3.91%). At the quiescent/recovery stage of hepatitis, the RBCC3bRRs were increased significantly. The changes of RBCICRR and serum CIC level were contrary to those of RBCC3bRR.

CONCLUSION: RBC immunoadherence function is decreased in acute and chronic hepatitis, and the decrease is in direct proportion to severity of the diseases.
