ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation between serum Lipoxin A4 and clinical grading of chronic hepatitis B patients. Method The serum Lipoxin A4 was detected by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay in 94 chronic hepatitis B patients. Results It was found that the level of serum Lipoxin A4 of severe hepatitis patients were significantly lower than mild hepatitis patients and moderate hepatitis patients ( =0.04 and =0.03) . The serum Lipoxin A4 levels were correlated negatively with the ALT and AST levels,respectively =-0.41, =0.019 and R=-0.37,P=0.034. Conclusion These findings support the fact that the serum Lipoxin A4 may contribute to clinical grading of chronic hepatitis B patients.
