AB - were well correlated in patients of HBV and HCV group. Fibrosis is a hallmark histologic event of viral hepatitis Where, this is a significant increase in HA levels when and is characterized by the excessive accumulation and Considering F0 to F6 scores by liver biopsy (P < 0.001). reorganization of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The Serum HA is a useful non-invasive marker of liver gold standard for assessment of fibrosis is liver biopsy. As fibrosis. There is a strong positive correlation between this procedure has various limitations, including risk of serum HA levels and degree of liver fibrosis. The patient injury and sampling error. Serum Hyaluronic acid concentration of serum HA rises according to progression as non invasive marker for liver fibrosis is desirable. The of liver fibrosis. present study aims to determine the serum hyaluronic acid (HA) levels as biochemical marker of hepatic fibrosis and Keywords: Viral Hepatitis; Fibrosis; Hyaluronic acid; cirrhosis and correlate it with the degree of hepatic Liver biopsy; Histological activity index. fibrosis. Serum HA level in chronic hepatitis patients (n=60) are divided into two groups, group1: included 30 patients positive for anti-HCV (antibodies), group 2 1 Introduction included 30 patients positive for HBsAg, and
