Significance of Serum Cytokeratin-18 in Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Hepatitis C Infected Egyptian Patients
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus is one of the most common etiologic agents of chronic liver diseases, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in which there is continuous inflammation and regeneration of hepatocytes. Cytokeratin-18 (CK18) has been suggested to play an important role in tumorigenesis of epithelial cancers. AIM Estimation of CK18 serum levels in patients with chroni...
متن کاملthe clinical significance of serum apoptotic cytokeratin 18 neoepitope m30 (ck-18 m30) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (mmp-2) levels in chronic hepatitis b patients with cirrhosis
background serum apoptotic cytokeratine 18 neoepitope m30 (ck-18 m30) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (mmp-2) have been popular markers for detecting liver fibrosis in recent years. ck-18 is a major intermediate filament protein in liver cells and one of the most prominent substrates of caspases during hepatocyte apoptosis. mmp-2 plays an important role in tissue remodeling and repairing process...

متن کاملSerum Iron Markers in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) often have elevated serum iron markers, which may worsen liver injury. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlations between iron metabolism serum markers, HCV viral load, and liver disease severity in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty five patients with ...
متن کاملApelin Serum Level in Egyptian Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C
OBJECTIVE Highlighting the apelin system would present a new therapeutic target for liver disease. Apelin; endogenous ligand for the orphan receptor APJ, was recently suggested to be associated with fibrosis progression and cirrhosis in addition to insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation. The present study was conducted to evaluate blood apelin level changes among 73 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) ...
