ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The fibrosis can be detected using non-invasive methods including prolidase activity, proline levels and galectin-3 (GAL-3) detection in the serum. The aim of this study was to investigate the liver fibrosis through non-invasive methods in chronic hepatitis B patients. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This prospective case control study includes 56 patients with Chronic Active Hepatitis B (CAHB), 57 patients with Inactive Hepatitis B (IHB), and 60 healthy matched control subjects. The first group included the CAHB [hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive; HBV DNA >2,000 IU/mL; normal or high alanine aminotransferase (ALT) value] undergo a liver biopsy, while the second group included the IHB (HBsAg positive; HBV DNA negative; normal ALT value). The third group comprised the healthy controls. Serum prolidase enzyme activities (SPEA), proline and galectin-3 levels were measured for each group.RESULTS:
Patients with CAHB had significantly higher SPEA levels (1,004.3±186.8 IU/L) than did the controls (196.5±306 IU/L) (p<0.001). Significantly higher serum GAL-3 levels were found in the CHB group compared with HBV carrier and the control groups (27.4±32.2 ng/mL, 6.5±13.4 ng/mL, 3.1±5.7 ng/mL, respectively, p<0.001). The relationship between serum prolidase activity, hidroxiprolyne and fibrosis (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in ALT levels between inactive HBV carriers and the control groups (p>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
We suppose that hidroxiprolyne levels and prolidase enzyme activity might be an indicator as a marker for fibrosis in CAHB and the evaluation of response to treatment.
