Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate the level of 2microglobulin (B2M), total serum bilirubin(TSB) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the sera of (30) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients(patients group) and (30) healthy HBV carriers as (control group). The study showed that levels of2 microglobulin were high among patients group (3.41 1 mg/L), while it was normal amongcontrol group (1.42 0.35 mg/L). Regarding biochemical parameters, it was found that (TSB) and(ALT) were increased among patients group, and their level were (37.66 30.8 mol/L) and(43.6 32.51 U/L) respectively. While it was normal among control group (4 0 mol/L) and(17.4 7.16 U/L) respectively.
