Essay

The clinical-biochemical, immunological investigation of 151 patients with chronic hepatitis C and 40 patients with B+C were given. The intercorrelation between lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and immune changes in depending on hepatitis activity according to results of liver biopsy has been studied. It was established that chronic hepatitis C is characterized by mild symptomatology with prolonged hyperfermentemia, concomitant syndrome of intestinal flora overgrowth and secondary immunodeficiency. Increased levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein correlate with morphological hepatitis activity. Functional correlation between lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and CD16+, CD25+, circulating immune complexes was pathogenically grounded. Expediency of Hylak and Polysorb use in complex therapy of chronic hepatitis C was substantiated.
