  • Title: [A clinical evaluation of enzymologic methods for the differential diagnosis of viral hepatitis and subhepatic jaundice].
    Author: Andreĭchin MA, Pogorila MA, Kiĭko LG.
    Journal: Vrach Delo; 1989 Mar; (3):115-8. PubMed ID: 2750106.
    Abstract:
    Enzymological examination of 113 patients with A and B viral hepatitis (VH) and 41 with obstructive jaundice of tumor origin and 32 with chronic cholecystitis during exacerbation showed an increase of activity of blood serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDG), gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP), alkaline phosphatase. The GGTP/LDG ratio is of differential-diagnostic value. Ratio values of 0.8 and less indicate VH while values of 1 and more indicate obstructive jaundice.
