Abstract

Chronic hepatitis due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) is still a major problem in terms of progressive liver damage, prevention and therapy in most parts of the world. Unfortunately, to date, there is still no specific and effective therapy for HBV. No therapy can be given to carrier, non- replicative and asymptomatic patients of chronic HBV infection. Lamivudine or alpha-interferon can be used for treatment of compensated, chronic hepatitis B infection with significant increase of aminotransferase. Approximately 40 % of patients can have seroconversion with this form of therapy. Chronic hepatitis D virus infection can be treat with alpha-interferon and in the final stage, may undergo liver transplantation. For chronic hepatitis C virus infection, alpha-interferon with ribavirin have been shown to have a better efficacy than alpha-interferon alone where the efficacy can reach 39 – 49 %.    Keywords: hepatitis, interferon, lamivudin,ribavirin

Abstract

A recent increase in the number of drug users particularly of heroin has been noted in the community. A cross-sectional study on the level of transaminases as a representation of liver damage in drug users was done in privated hospital in Jakarta. Exclusion criteria were fever, serious illness or the multiple use of addictive drugs based on a urinary test. The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was examined using reverse passive hemaglutination assay (RPHA) and the antibody of hepatitis C virus core-protein (anti- HCV) with dipstick anti-HCV.  AST and ALT levels were determined using an automatic chemical analyzer. Of 132 patients who fulfill the criteria, 83.5 % were injection drug users (IDU). Means AST and ALT were significantly higher in IDU. Anti-HCV positive patients with increased AST and ALT were significantly higher compared to anti-HCV negative. The increase of transaminase was also consistent in injection drug users although no viral marker could be detected. In conclusion, the examination of transaminases in drug users especially IDU is important besides tests for hepatitis viral markers because there is often an increase with or without viral infection and this can be associated with hepatocellular damage.     Key words: Transaminase, heroin addicts, hepatitis
