Abstract
A follow up study has been made on 119 cases of hepatitis admitted to the Sendai National Hospital during past 10 years.
The results are as follows: The serum hepatitis is generally worse than the infectious hepatitis, regardless of their vocation, age and sex. Nearly a half of chronic hepatitis accompanied with livercirrhosis cases died or still under medical care. A good prognosis has been established in hepatitis patients who have been admitted to the hospital within 20 days after the onset and clinically recovered within 2 months. An early admission and radical treatment are emphasized. The diagnostic values of the level of serum transaminase and BSP test is significant on acute hepatitis, BSP test, serum colloid reactions, serum protein content and A/G ratio have specific meaning in the diagnosis of the chronic hepatitis. The liver function in 20 cases who discharged from our hospital several years ago was reexamined with results of normal range, except only one case.
