Abstract

In this study serum alpha-fetorpotein levels were investigated in 171 carriers of HBsAg and 15 of healthy persons.

In 130 of 171 sera AFP levels were less than 7 IU/ml (76 %), and the demaining 41 sera had higher than 7 IU/ml which is the significant levels of AFP (24 %). in sera 14 cases (8.1 % ) had AEP levels between 7 and 10 IU/ml., another 14 cases between 10 and 30 IU/ml.,6 cases (3.5 %) between 30-100 IU/ml.,4 cases (2.33 %) between 100 and 200 RJ/ml., 2 cases (1.16 %) between 200 and 400 IU/ml. and only 1 case had higher than 400 IU/ml.of AFP level. None of the 15 contrQl sera showed AFP positivity.
