RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and liver function. Methods The method of microboard nucleate molecular hybridization was employed to detect the genotype in 93 HBV patients of different clinical types and the function of liver. Results Among the 93 HBV patients of different clinical types, there were 24 cases of genotype B (25.81%), 59 cases of genotype C (63.44%), 5 cases of genotype D (5.38%), and 5 cases of mixed type (3 cases of B/D, 2 cases of C/D, 5.38%). Therefore, genotype C took up the largest proportion, followed by genotype B, and then D and mixed genotypes, but there was no genotype A, E or F. The detection rate of genotype C increased according to the sequence of chronic hepatitis B, subacute severe hepatitis and hepatocirrhosis while the detection rate of genotype B decreased gradually. However, the detection rate of genotype C in hepatocellar carcinoma did not rise correspondingly. The levels of ALT, AST and TBIL of genotype C were higher than those of genotype B, but the level of ALB in genotype C was lower than that of genotype B. None of the differences had significance. Conclusion Most of HBV genotypes in Xi'an were C, some of them were B, D and mixed genotypes, but no genotype A, E or F was detected. Except hepatocellar carcinoma, the detection rate of genotype C rose according to the severity of clinical type.
