Summary
Circulating desialylated glycoprotein level in acute hepatitis was studied by using the competitive binding assay reported by us. Statistically significant differences of the level among acute hepatitis in the peak of illness, fulminating hepatitis and normal subjects were observed. The desialylated glycoprotein level in acute hepatitis was elevated associating with S-GPT and serum bilirubin levels, and it returned to the normal range before S-GPT and serum bilirubin were normalized. The desialylated glycoprotein in a fulminant hepatitis was increasing associated with bilirubin even when S-GPT was decreasing.
