초록
배경 : 저자들은 B형 간염 바이러스가 양성인 만성 간질환, 즉 만성 B형 간염, 간경화, 간세포암 환자군에서 IL-18 및 여러 cytokine의 혈청 농도 값을 알아내고 그 진단적 유용성을 알아보 고자 하였다. 방법 : 효소면역법(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay: ELISA)을 이용하여 87명의 HBV 양성 간질환 환자들(무증상 보유자 9, 만성 B형 간염 19, 간경화 40, 간세포암 환자 19), 13명의 비-간장성 질병 환자들 및 9명의 건강 대조군을 대상으로 혈청 IL-18, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-4, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)의 농도를 분석하였다. 결과 : 혈청 IL-18 농도는 만성 B형 간염, HBV 양성 간경화, HBV 양성 간암 환자 군에서 건강 대조군 및 무증상 보유자 군보다 상승되었다(P<0.05). 혈청 IFN-gamma 및 IL-4는 각 군에서 유의한 증가를 보이지 않았고, TNF-alpha는 간경화 및 간암 군에서 HBV 무증상 보유자 군보다 유의하게 증가되었다(P<0.05). 결론 : 혈청 IL-18의 측정은 HBV 양성 간질환의 중등도 평가 및 예후 예측에 있어 유용할 수도 있다.
Abstract
Background : The aim of our study was to investigate the diagnostic value of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and other cytokines in chronic liver disease patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), including chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB), liver cirhhosis (LC) with HBV, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with HBV. Methods : Serum levels of IL-18, interferon-gamma (INF-gamma), IL-4 and tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNF-alpha) were evaluated using ELISA in 87 patients with liver diseases with HBV (asymptomatic carriers, 9; CHB, 19; LC, 40; and HCC, 19), 13 patients with non-hepatic diseases (NHD), and 9 normal controls. Results : Serum IL-18 levels of CHB, LC with HBV and HCC with HBV patients were higher than those of healthy controls and asymptomatic carriers (P<0.05). Serum IFN-gamma and IL-4 levels were not significantly increased in all groups, but TNF-alpha levels were increased in LC and HCC patients (P<0.05). Conclusions : Determination of IL-18 may be useful in assessing the severity and predicting the prognosis of liver dieases with HBV. (Korean J Lab Med 2004; 24: 139-45)
