Abstract:
PurposeTo establish sensitive and reliable serum marker on liver fibrosis for early clinical diagnosis. MethodsSerum hyaluronate acid,type Ⅲ procollagen and type Ⅳ procogen of 48 patients with viral hepatitis were analyzed by radioimmunoassay and ELISA respectively. ResultsThe serum HA, PCⅢ and PCⅣ level increased gradually with the progress of the disease. Their levels were correlated distinctly with the index of hepatic activity of inflammation and that of fibrosis.ConclusionsThe value of serum HA,PCⅢ and PCⅣ in predicting liver fibrosis will be enhanced ff the effect of inflammation could be excluded.
