Abstract

Background. Hepcidin serum level was influenced by the inflammation and iron deposit in chronic liver disease / CLD), but the correlation between the hepcidin ferritin ratio and the severity of liver cirrhosis was still not clear. The aim of this study was to found correlation between the hepcidin ferritin ratio and the severity of liver cirrhosis. Methods. The study was conducted in Gastroenterohepatology Division, Internal Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara. The study was an analytic comparative, cross sectional study. The subject were liver cirrhosis patients that fulllfiled inclusion criteria and informed consent. Results. From 78 liver cirrhosis patients, mean age was 51.36 ± 12.6 years old. Male was more than female ( 44 (56%), 34 (43.6%), respectively. We found that there was no significant difference of the hepcidin ferritin ratio among Child pugh A , Child pugh B and Child pugh C patients (0.17 ; 0.11 and 0.28, respectively, with p = 0.161). Conclusion. There was no significant difference of the hepcidin ferritin ratio among severity of liver cirrhosis.
