In this work we study the contribution to leptogenesis from Delta L=1 decay and scattering processes mediated by the Higgs with quarks in the initial and final states using the formalism of non-equilibrium quantum field theory. Starting from fundamental equations for correlators of the quantum fields we derive quantum-corrected Boltzmann and rate equations for the total lepton asymmetry improved in that they include quantum-statistical effects and medium corrections to the quasiparticle properties. To compute the collision term we take into account one- and two-loop contributions to the lepton self-energy and use the extended quasiparticle approximation for the Higgs two-point function. The resulting CP-violating and washout reaction densities are numerically compared to the conventional ones.
