Correlation between serum cytokeratin-18 and the progression or regression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is limited by the need for liver biopsies. Serum cytokeratin 18 (CK-18) levels have been investigated as potential biomarkers for the presence of NAFLD and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Herein, we assessed the correlation between CK-18 levels and NAFLD progression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum CK-18 levels were estimated ...
متن کاملSerum cytokeratin 18 fragment level as a noninvasive biomarker for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
BACKGROUND AND AIM We evaluated the usefulness of serum cytokeratin 18 fragment (CK18-F) as a noninvasive biomarker in differentiating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) since the prognosis of the 2 diseases differ. METHODS 116 Japanese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) proven by liver biopsy were studied. Histological findings were c...

conclusions it seems that surrogate liver function tests and adipocytokine levels were correlated with the histologic findings of the liver. objectives the aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between serum adipocytokines and the histologic findings of the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). patients and methods this case-control study was performed on ...
متن کاملThe Correlation Between Serum Adipokines and Liver Cell Damage in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common cause of chronic hepatitis, which can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between serum adipocytokines and the histologic findings of the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). PATIENTS AND METHODS This case-control study was...
متن کاملcorrelation between serum level magnesium and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
background: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was one of prevalent problems in general population. it was the most common cause of abnormal liver function tests and may lead to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. the role of many factors has been known in nafld. in this study, we investigated the correlation of serum magnesium level and nafld after minimizing the role of major confounding fa...
