[Clinical and prognostic significance of cellular immunity factors in patients with chronic liver diseases].

The paper presents the results of comprehensive studies of quantitative and functional parameters of cellular immunity in 283 patients with chronic liver diseases, using various rosette tests and monoclonal antibody phenotyping of immunocompetent cells. The pattern of changes in blood immunocompetent cells and immunoglobulins allows prediction of the natural history of chronic active hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis of viral and alcoholic origin. The data on autorosette-forming and hepatic-specific lipoprotein-sensitive rosette-forming cells were found to be the most informative.
