Impact of liver function on serum level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in cirrhotic patients, before and after receiving liver transplant.
Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignancies among males. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is used for screening of this malignancy. Serum levels of PSA is influenced by liver function. This study evaluate variations of serum levels of PSA amongst cirrhotic patients, before and after receiving liver transplantation. Material and methods: all cirrhotic males older than 45 y...
متن کاملMaturation State and Function of Monocyte Derived Dendritic Cells in Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen presenting cells for triggering of the immune reaction post transplantation. These cells are centrally involved in the initiation of T cell-dependent immune responses. Objective: To compare the level of DC maturation and function in liver transplant recipients with healthy controls. Methods: In this study, twelve peripheral blood samples we...
متن کاملElevated circulating adiponectin levels in liver cirrhosis are associated with reduced liver function and altered hepatic hemodynamics.
Adiponectin is a novel adipocytokine negatively correlated with parameters of the metabolic syndrome, such as body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), and circulating insulin levels. Furthermore, metabolic actions directly on the liver have been described. The aim of the present study was to characterize circulating adiponectin levels, hepatic turnover, and the association of adiponectin wit...
متن کاملChanges in Hepatic Hemodynamics due to Primary Liver Tumours
Data regarding the afferent circulation of the liver in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma are controversial, we have carried out measurement of hepatic arterial and portal venous flow intraoperatively by transit time ultrasonic volume flowmetry. In patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma the hepatic artery flow increased to 0.55 +/- 0.211 compared with the control value of 0...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Hepatic and Systemic Hemodynamics During Liver Transplantation
The correlation between portal vein pressure (PVP) and flow (PVF) has not been established, and there is still lack of consensus about the optimal hemodynamics during liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to establish the correlation between systemic and hepatic hemodynamics during LT by applying the hepatokinetic power hypothesis, based on the law of energy conservation and hydrodynamics.A tota...
