ABSTRACT
This study was conducted on 40 patients with schistosomal hepatosplenomegaly and oesophageal varices "O.V.". They were divided into two groups Group A were suffering form bleeding O.V and group B were non bleeders. Ten Healthy individuals were also included in the study as control group. Plasma fibronectin concentration was estimated in each subject using quantitative single radial immuno-diffusion technique. The results of the study showed that plasma fibronectin concentrations were significantly decreased in both group of patients, bleeders [354.5 Mg/dl +/- 109.2] and non bleeders [307 +/- 103.5] compared to the control group [514 +/- 57.9]. However, there was no significant difference in fibronectin concentration between group A and group B [p > 0.05]. There was insignificant correlation between plasma fibronectin and some haemostatic estimations [clotting time, bleeding time and platelet count] in the studied groups [p > 0.05]. Also, there was insignificant difference in fibronectin concentration in patients with [312 Mg +/- 116.4] and without [368.6 +/- 106.9] liver cell failure
