[Chronic hepatitis: diagnostic and therapeutic problems]. 1975

G Verme, and M Rizzetto, and F Bonino

The morphological criteria for diagnosing chronic hepatitis are discussed and criticised. A classification closer to clinical reality than that of De Groote et al 1968 is then proposed. Personal experience in differential laboratory diagnosis between the various forms of chronic hepatitis by means of comparative evaluation of an enzymogram and the measurement of certain proteins in the serum is then reported. Case examples are given to emphasise the possibilities of the immunological approach to the problem of active chronic hepatitis. Finally, the cardinal points of therapy are reviewed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
