Abstract
This study aimed to measure and compare serum factor V activity and the serum ammonia level in chronic hepatitis B patients with and without acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B infection. Patients were divided into the following 2 groups: group 1 consisted of 67 patients with chronic hepatitis B infection without exacerbation; group 2 consisted of 67 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B infection. The serum level of ALT, AST, ammonia, and serum factor V activity were measured and compared between groups. Mean age in group 1 was 38 years and the mean laboratory findings were as follows: serum ALT: 32.3 ± 17.3 U L–1; factor V activity: 112.42% ± 22.67%; ammonia: 13.85 ± 8.32 µg mL–1. Mean age in group 2 was 34 years and the mean laboratory findings were as follows: serum ALT: 1087.2 ± 911.9 U L–1; factor V activity: 101.13% ± 32.65%; ammonia: 34.20 ± 42.35 µg mL–1. Factor V activity was significa...
