egy-score predicts severe hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis in egyptians with chronic liver diseases: a pilot study

چکیده
conclusions non-invasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis could be done using the egy-score. egy-score could differentiate no or early fibrosis (stage f0-f2 metavir) from severe fibrosis or cirrhosis (stage f3 - f4 metavir) with 83.7% accuracy. results combined elevation of ca 19-9 and ca 125 with a summated value > 37 u/ml is predictive of severe hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis (stage f3-f4 metavir) with a probability of 77.6%. multivariate analysis showed that the most relevant collection of biomarkers for prediction of stage of hepatic fibrosis is: ca 19-9, age, alpha-2- macroglobulin, total bilirubin, platelet count & albumin. we developed a new score, named the “egy-score”, using a regression equation composed of this panel of biomarkers. egy-score could differentiate no or early fibrosis (stage f0-f2 metavir) from severe fibrosis or cirrhosis (stage f3-f4 metavir) with 83.7% accuracy. objectives we aimed at developing a new panel of surrogate biomarkers for prediction of the stage of hepatic fibrosis by combining tumor markers with other known biomarkers of hepatic fibrosis. patients and methods a total of 92 patients with different types of chronic liver diseases (chronic hepatitis b, chronic hepatitis c and autoimmune hepatitis), were prospectively enrolled in our cohort. they were subjected to: alt, ast, ggt, alp, total bilirubin, inr, total cholesterol, albumin, platelet count, cancer antigen 19-9 (ca 19-9), cancer antigen 125 (ca 125), cancer antigen 15-3 (ca 15-3), haptoglobin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, apolipoprotein a1, abdominal ultrasound, liver biopsy and histological staging of hepatic fibrosis using the metavir system. background non-invasive methods for assessment of hepatic fibrosis are increasingly needed. recent studies showed that combined elevation of tumor markers ca 19-9 and ca 125 is predictive of severe hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis with high specificity.

متن کاملA seven-gene signature (cirrhosis risk score) predicts liver fibrosis progression in patients with initially mild chronic hepatitis C.
UNLABELLED Fibrosis progression is the main determinant of liver disease outcome in chronic hepatitis C, being influenced by environmental and host factors. Recently, a cirrhosis risk score (CRS) based on seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms was proposed as genetic predictor of cirrhosis in hepatitis C. To assess the role of CRS in predicting fibrosis progression in patients with initially no ...

Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...

Sixty five patients (20 children and 45 adults of both sexes) having hepatomegaly were subjected to serum copper, hepatic copper and hepatic cuproprotein analysis from October 1982 through September 1983. Higher levels of serum copper were encountered in 17/20 children suffering from Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (ICC), values ranging from 151 ug/dl to 350 ug/dl. Hypercupremia was also detected in...
متن کاملPrediction of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis B infection by serum proteomic fingerprinting: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Most noninvasive predictive models of liver fibrosis are complicated and have suboptimal sensitivity. This study was designed to identify serum proteomic signatures associated with liver fibrosis and to develop a proteome-based fingerprinting model for prediction of liver fibrosis. METHODS Serum proteins from 46 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were profiled quantitatively o...
