Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate and Androstenedione Concentration in the Serum of Male Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C

In this study the dynamics of DHEAS and androstenedione serum concentration in male patients with CHC infection were analyzed. The study group consisted of 52 men, 26 of them being the control group of healthy men. The DHEAS and androstenedione serum concentration was determined twice with radioimmunological method (RIA). 1. Mean values of suprarenal androgens serum concentration in male patients with CHC infection were lower than in healthy men and the observed differences were incidental, 2. There was no correlation between dehydroepiandrosterone and androstenedione serum concentration in male patients with CHC infection.
