Summary:Protein C activity was determined in 70 patients with liver disease, 30 with acute viral hepatitis and 40 with liver cirrhosis. Statistical comparison of the values for patients with those for healthy Ivorians showed a significant decrease in protein C activity, positively correlated with a prolongation of the prothrombin time.
