Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical and serological characteristics of old patients with hepatitis E. Methods The clinical features, blood serum biological and immunology index were analyzed between 76 cases of old patients and 48 cases of middle-youth patients with hepatitis E. Results The old group's jaundice were deeper than the young group's. The lowered blood albumin was most frequently observed, and there was significant difference between the two groups. There had no significant difference of liver function, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), total bile acid and prothrombin activity between the two groups. After therapy, total bilirubin, ALT, AST, total bile acid and recovery days in old group were longer than in the young group. There was no significant difference of alkaline phosphatase, γ-GT and the recovery days between two groups; anti-HEV-IgM detected in the old group was lower than in the young group. Anti-HEV-IgM and anti-HEV-IgG detected in the old group were higher than in the young group, and there was no significant difference of anti-HEV-IgG between the two groups. Conclusion The old patients with hepatitis E's clinical symptom are more serious, their jaundice are deeper, the damage of liver function are more serious, and their recovery days of liver function's abnormal expressions are longer than those of young patients.关键词
