Abstract
The concentrations of 12 major serum components quantitated by radial immunodiffusion were compared with average values determined in a group of 86 control adult Libyans of both sexes with no sign of hepatic involvement. Patients presented with Portal cirrhosis, Primary biliary cirrhosis, Extra-hepatic biliary obstriwtion (carcinoma of the gall bladder), Viral Hepatitis (i.e. Acute, Chronic persistent, and Chronic active). Serum proteins estimated included immu,wglobulins G, M and A, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, alpha2HS-glycoprotein, alpha2-macroglobulin, beta-lipoprotein, prothrombin, transferrin, haptoglobulin, and complement components C3c and C4. Results suggestive of elevated or decreased blood protein component levels associated with a significant number of patients with liver disease are presented.
