Abstract
Three hundred and fifty-three patients with chronic hepatitis diagnosed by peritoneoscopy and liver biopsy were followed for long term and evaluated the survival rates, incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and it's related parameters. 1) Five and 10 year survival rates were demonstrated on each histologic and peritoneoscopic code number classification. 2) Female's survival rates were higher than males' except CIH and 100+200' code number. 3) Survival rates of HBsAg positive group were slightly lower than that of HBsAg negative group as studied on 400' code number males. 4) HCC and hepatic death were more common in older patients. 5) No significant differences in survival and incidence of HCC were found between drinkers and nondrinkers.6) Serum γ-globulin and albumin level, GOT/GPT ratio and ZTT were not in any tendency, whereas serum AFP level generally showed over20ng/ml in HBsAg positive group.
