METHOD OF EXAMINING HEPATITIS B/C VIRUS-RELATED DISEASE BY MEASURING THERMOCOLLOIDAL PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND EXAMINATION APPARATUS

摘要

A method of examining a hepatitis B or C virus-related disease characterized by comprising measuring the particle size distribution of colloidal particles in the serum at a high temperature and at a low temperature, comparing the particle size distribution pattern at the low temperature with the particle size distribution pattern at the high temperature, and determining the presence/absence of thermocolloid with a particle size range of from 10 to 10,000 nm appearing exclusively at the low temperature; and an apparatus and a system with the use of this method. According to this examination technique, the presence or absence of hepatitis B or C virus in the blood can be easily examined and, moreover, the pathological feature can be distinguished.
