Accepted 11 May 2011 Methods: Serum HA and LN levels of 87 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 19 blood donors were assayed by RIA. Liver fibrosis stages were determined according to the Metavir Keywords: scoring-system. The diagnostic performances of all indexes were evaluated by the receiver Hepatitis B, chronic operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Hyaluronic acid Results: Serum HA and LN concentrations increased significantly with the stage of hepatic Laminin fibrosis, which showed positive correlation with
