Study group was comprised of both viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis B cases. Medical history, physical & clinical examination were performed for all participants. The data of all groups was compared.
Among study group, affected by Viral hepatitis A & B, decrease in Albumin and rise in globulin level were observed compared to control group. Change in albumin,globulin level are significant compare to control (P<0.01)
The present study highlights the diagnostic and prognostic roles of albumin and globulin levels in patients of viral hepatitis A & B.
