Serum levels of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase-alpha (GST-alpha) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined to evaluate their use in diagnosing hepatocellular damage in 75 children with liver disease. Except for level of GR in patients with HBV, GR, GST-alpha and MDA were raised significantly in patients compared with controls. At 100% specificity, the sensitivity of the 3 markers for detecting hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and schistosomiasis infection respectively were: 16.7%, 100.0% and 17.7% for GR; 33.3%, 62.1% and 38.2% for GST-alpha; and 25.0%, 10.3% and 29.4% for MDA. GR was more sensitive in hepatitis C infection, while MDA reflected changes in liver ultrasound and GST-alpha was the best indicator for histopathological changes.
检测了 75 例肝病患儿血清谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶-α(GST-α)和丙二醛(MDA)的水平,以评估它们在诊断肝细胞损伤中的作用。除了乙型肝炎病毒患者的 GR 水平外,与对照组相比,患者的 GR、GST-α 和 MDA 水平均显著升高。在特异性为 100%时,这 3 种标志物检测乙型肝炎病毒、丙型肝炎病毒和血吸虫病感染的灵敏度分别为:GR 为 16.7%、100.0%和 17.7%;GST-α为 33.3%、62.1%和 38.2%;MDA 为 25.0%、10.3%和 29.4%。GR 在丙型肝炎感染中更敏感,而 MDA 反映了肝脏超声的变化,GST-α是组织病理学变化的最佳指标。
