Abstract

This research focuses on the acute phase proteins (alpha-fetoprotein, erythrocyte, sedimentation rate and leucocytes counts in viral hepatitis patients in Aba. 100 subjects (male and female) were used for the subjects HBV, HCV 70 hepatitis subjects and 30 non-hepatitis subjects used as the control. The level of alpha ­fetoprotein was determined using microplate Enzymes Immunoassay method and some Hematological parameters; the Alpha-fetoprotein (6.42 ± 0.12), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (16.8 ± 0.88) and Leucocyte count (9.87 ± 0.33) were increased in viral hepatitis were significantly increased when compared with the control of (4.00+ 0.15) respectively (P<.0.05). ESR and WBC count was increased in viral hepatitis patients when compared with the control the use of alpha-fetoprotein, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and Leucocytes count could be an important diagnosis and evaluation, and therapeutics management of viral hepatitis patients.
