ABSTRACT
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to determine levels of Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B,liver cirrhosis,and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which diagnosed at different extent of damage,and based on it to have a further study on the relevance between Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood in above diseases.Methods:
Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood were determined by ELISA method.Results:
In patients with chronic hepatitis B andhepatic cirrhosis,Ghrelin level increased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Ghrelin levels in decompensated liver cirrhosis (degree B and C)groups were much higher than in chronic hepatitis B group (P<0.05). Ghrelin level in group of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease decreased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P<0.01). Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines,including TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 showed a positive relevances in groups of chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but not in NAFLD group which showed a negative correlations.Conclusion:
Ghrelin has a higher level in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but it has a lower level in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,suggesting correlation of Ghrelin level with the occurrence and the procession of chronic liver diseass.
