[Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in liver cirrhosis and viral hepatitis cases]. 1981

T Imir

Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were investigated in 18 liver cirrhosis and in 114 viral hepatitis patients. The mean AFP levels were 9.3 ng/ml in cirrhosis patients and 46.6 ng/ml. in viral hepatitis patients. When viral hepatitis patients were classified according to hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg), no correlation could be detected between HBsAg positivity and AFP levels.
