title: [The clinical significance of the C3 component of complement in different variants of viral hepatitis B].
abstract: Pathogenetic involvement of complement system was ascertained at examination of 259 patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis B. In progression of acute hepatitis there exist close relationships between blood levels of C3 component and antigens, antibodies and homeostatic parameters. This proves complement participation in the antiviral defense and support of biochemical mechanisms responsible for recovery. Registration of C3 component content time course in acute and chronic viral hepatitis can serve prognostic purposes.
