Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) which affects the liver. I t can cause both acute and chronic infections.Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and rel eases it in a controlled fashion. Objective: The purpose of this study was to to estimate Serum ferritin levels in hepatitis B virus infected patient s And normal Controls among the Sudanese population. Materials and Methods: Forty samples from patients and forty from controls were evaluated to determine the serum ferritin levels among HBV positive patients. The serum ferritin was determined using Roche E411® che mistry analyzer. Results: The comparison of serum ferritin levels between normal controls and Hepatitis B positive patients are s hown in Table 2. The level of Serum ferritin (mean ± SD) in Hepatitis B group was 392.78±114.61 while in cont rols group was 139.60±81.50. We found that serum ferritin levels in Hepatitis B positive group were significantl y higher than controls group (P= 0.000). Conclusion: This study concluded that serum ferittin levels increased in patients with positive Hepatitis B virus.
