Summary:Patients with chronic liver diseases who were hospitalized into our clinic were studied. Chronic liver diseases consisted of three groups, namely chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with peptic ulcer were studied as a control group. The mean age was the difference of 8.4 years between a group of chronic hepatitis and that of liver cirrhosis, but only 3.0 years between a group of liver cirrhosis and that of hepatocellular carcinoma. HBs antigen positive ratio was almostly same between a group of chronic hepatitis and that of liver cirrhosis, but about twice in a group of hepatocellular carcinoma. Ratio of hard drinker was lowest in a group of hepatocellular carcinoma, and therefore we considered that the effects of alcohol upon carcinogenesis were little. HBs antibody positive ratio was no difference among groups of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
