BIOCHEMICAL EXAMINATION OF BLOOD IN ACUTE VIRAL HEPATITIS

Abstract

Acute viral hepatitis is a systemic infection affecting the liver predominantly. Almost all cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by one of five viral agents: hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), the HBV-associated delta agent or hepatitis D virus (HDV), and hepatitis E virus (HEV). Although these agents can be distinguished by their molecular and antigenic properties, all types of viral hepatitis produce clinically similar illnesses. Below are information on the biochemical analysis of blood conducted for the diagnosis of acute viral hepatitis of the liver.
