Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship among HBV DNA load, HBeAg/Anti-HBe and ALT in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Methods HBV markers in 134 patients with chronic HBV infection were detected by ELISA,and patients were divided into group Ⅰ (HBeAg +/Anti-HBe-,43 patients) ,group Ⅱ (HBeAg-/Anti-HBe + ,69 patients)and group Ⅲ (HBeAg-/Anti-Hbe-,22 patients)according to the results of presence of HBeAg/Anti-HBe. HBV DNA load and ALT were tested respectively by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology and successive monitor reaction. Results Both the positive rate and the HBV DNA load quantification in group Ⅰ were higher than in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ (P<0.01). Abnormality rate of ALT in HBV DNA positive patients was higher than the patients with HBV DNA negitive(P<0.01). There was no relationship between HBV DNA load and ALT in HBV DNA positive patients. Conclusion There was a certain corelation among HBV DNA load, HBeAg/Anti-HBe and ALT,but the active degree of HBV replication could not to be assessed by HBeAg/Anti-HBe or ALT alone. It was necessary for the padient with chronic HBV infection to examine them together. Key words: Hepatitis B, Chronic; HBV DNA load; HBeAg/Anti-HBe; Alanine Aminotransferase
