Group r : Included 19 patients V11thpure Bilharzial chronic liver
disease.
Group U: includes W patients with pure mal hepatitis intection.
Grcmp In (min.,]): Includes 10 patients with Bilharzial chronic liver
disease and viral infecti on An patients were males of age range from 30 -
56 years.
Apparently healthy males of age range from 35 - 50 years were
selected as a control group.
Patients and control were subjected to :

- Laboratory investigations :
Liver function tests :

. HCVabHormonal assay :
LH
FSI!
Testosterone,
The result were tabulated and statistically evaluated showing the
following:
- The levels of testosterone ••’•e.re markedly decreased in all patient groups
when compared to the control group
- LH levels were markedly increased in all patients group when compared
with control.
- Regarding FSH levels, this work revealed nun significant differences in
the mean values between ::IUpatient groups when com pare d to contra 1.
On classification of patients. according to child classification:
Patient groups of child D and C, showed significant decrease ill
testosterone level when compared to the control,
- Regarding the level of LH, all groups showed significant increase when
compared ••.i.th the control grQUP, This increase was much marked ill
the patient of child C, gruup_
• The patient group of child C showed a significant increase in the level of
