Abstract

To measure the levels of serum soluble death receptor 5 (sDR5) in patients with hepatitis B. sDR5 concentration in 60 HBV infected patients and 30 healthy volunteers were measured by ELISA. sDR5 concentration in the HBV infected patients was decreased and correlated with serum ALT, Tbil level, albumin/globulin ratio and HBV antigen level. Decreased serum sDR5 is associated with high level of liver damage and inhibited HBV antigen expression.
