METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE FLOW AND RESULTS OF ACUTE VIRAL HEPATITIS B AND C IN TEENAGERS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01N33/576 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with detecting serumal concentrations of immunoglobulins A, M and E and, also, cytokins: interleukin 1-beta, interleukin 8, tumor necrosis factor of alpha- and gamma-interferon and at immunoglobulin A values being below 0.93 g/l, immunoglobulin M below 0.77 g/l, immunoglobulin E below 44 kU/l interleukin 1-beta below 300 pg/ml, interleukin 8 below 124 mg/ml, tumor necrosis factor below 140 pg/ml and gamma-interferon below 21 pg/ml in case of acute hepatitis B one should predict the development of lingering hepatitis, and at values of immunoglobulin A below 0.95 pg/ml, immunoglobulin E below 240 kU/l, interleukin 8 below 76 pg/ml, interleukin 1-beta below 280 pg/ml and gamma-interferon below 80 pg/ml in case of acute hepatitis C one should predict the development of chronic hepatic flow.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of prediction.
