【 Abstract 】 Objective To explore the effect of gamma-globulin in evaluating hepatic functional reservation in patients with liver tumor. Methods Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) was performed on 30 patients with liver tumor to get gamma-globulin and preoperative Child-Pugh classification. Then the relations between gamma-globulin and preoperative and postoperative Child-Pugh classification were studied. While with gamma-globulin as evaluating standard, the validity compared with Child-Pugh classification were studied. Results The gamma-globulin was lower in classification A patients 〔( 21.053 3 ± 6.001 4)% 〕 than that in classification B 〔 (28.800 0 ± 8.672 5)% 〕 before operation. While the gamma-globulin 〔 (21.022 0 ± 5.354 6)% 〕 of classification A patients after operation was also lower than that of classification B/C 〔 (29.556 0 ± 7.698 5)% 〕 . These differences were significant (P < 0.05). With gamma-globulin gt;30% as evaluating standard , the sensitivity and specificity were 80.00% and 96.00%, respectively. Conclusion Gamma-globulin can reflect hepatic functional reservation in patients with liver tumor. Combining gamma-globulin and Child-Pugh classification can evaluate hepatic functional reservation more objectively.
