The authors have researched the blood group systems ABO and Rhesus factor in 183 patients with cirrhosis hepatis (134 men and 49 women) and 157 with hepatitis chronica (97 men and 60 women). They suppose a connection between the blood group and the disease. There are significant differences in the distribution of the blood groups ABO in the men with cirrhosis hepatis (K=3 hi2=11,5114, p 0,001) and hepatitis chronica (K=3, hi2=8,9372, P 0,05). They are delinked by a higher frequency of the blood groups B() and AB(0) in those with hepatitis chronica. The frequency of the blood group 0() is lower than the average one for the country. The women with cirrhosis have a higher frequency of the blood group B() and those with hepatitis chronica ù AB(0), but all cases are nonsufficient to make a conclusion. There is some tendency forming a higher frequency of the blood group B() (independently or including AB(0) relating to those diseases. But all known data can't definite the blood group systems as a main factor for both diseases. Concerning Rh factor, there aren't any differences.
