Özet

Objective: Serum ferritine level which is released from hepatocellular stores due to chronic inflammation of HCV infection, is accepted as an independent indicator of hepatocellular damage. It is not known whether intra- erythrocyte ferritin could be used as an indicator of hepatocellular damage as with serum ferritin, AST and ALT. In our study, we evaluated the relationship between aminotransferase level with eriythrocyte ferritin level and serum ferritin level in anti- HCV positive hemodialysis patients.
