Basement membrane-related and type III procollagen-related antigens in serum of patients with chronic viral liver disease.
To assess the significance of serum basement membrane- and type III procollagen-related antigens in reflecting the degree of liver fibrosis, we measured radioimmunologically the concentrations of 7S collagen, laminin fragment P1, and the aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (P-III-P) in serum from 48 patients with chronic viral liver disease: chronic persistent hepatitis (9), chroni...
متن کاملEstimation of the production rates of serum aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen and laminin in human fibrotic liver.
The concentrations of laminin, a high molecular weight non-collagenous glycoprotein of basement membranes, and of the N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen were determined in the serum of the liver outflow vascular region (hepatic vein) and of a peripheral vein (cubital vein) in patients with chronic liver diseases (fibrosis, cirrhosis, unspecified histology; n = 173), in order to deter...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of hyaluronan and type III procollagen amino-terminal peptide serum assays as markers of liver fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis C evaluated by ROC curve analysis.
Diagnostic accuracy of two serum markers of liver fibrosis, hyaluronan (HA) and amino-terminal peptide of type III procollagen (P-III-P), was studied in a cohort of 326 untreated patients with chronic viral hepatitis C. Both P-III-P (RIA-gnost P-III-P, Behring Diagnostic) and HA (HA-test, Pharmacia) serum concentrations correlated with the histological grades of liver fibrosis (P < 0.001). Rece...
متن کاملSilybin-vitamin E-phospholipids complex reduces liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with pegylated interferon α and ribavirin.
Chronic hepatitis C is both a virologic and a fibrotic disease, with mortality resulting mainly from the complications of cirrhosis and HCC. The aim was to evaluate the impact on of supplementation with a new pharmaceutical complex of silybinvitamin E-phospholipids in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with Pegylated-Interferon-α2b plus Ribavirin. In this prospective, randomized, placebo...
متن کاملSerum markers of liver fibrogenesis, and liver histology findings in patients with chronic liver diseases.
AIM OF THE STUDY Investigation of the relationships between the grade and stage of chronic liver diseases irrespective of their etiology using some novel serum markers of liver fibrogenesis, the "classical" serum markers of liver necro-inflammatory injury (such as transaminases), and the histomorphological evaluation of liver biopsies. METHODS Markers of liver fibrogenesis: serum metalloprote...
