Abstract

A study of SGPT levels in individuals with and without (HBsAG) was conducted in the village of Plati, Greece. The levels were higher in those with HBsAG than without (p equals .007). The levels were higher in males than in females. From this and other studies it is concluded that at least some asymptomatic carriers had mild but detectable liver damage.
