Serum cholinesterase: A predictive biomarker of hepatic reserves in chronic hepatitis D
AIM To determine the predictive performance of cholinesterase compared to existing prognostic models in evaluating liver function in patients with chronic hepatitis D. METHODS In an observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study, consecutive patients with hepatitis D cirrhosis were evaluated. Demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. Serum cholinesterase levels we...
متن کاملserum levels of annexin a2 as a candidate biomarker for hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis b
results in a group of adult patients with chb, anxa2 values were far higher than those of the control group (p = 0.001). when we assessed anxa2 levels based on fibrosis stages, serum anxa2 levels of patients with early stage fibrosis (stages 1 - 3) were significantly higher than those of patients with advanced stage fibrosis (stages 4 - 5; p = 0.001). patients and methods this study included 17...
متن کاملReduced Levels of Serum Potassium and Plasma Cholinesterase in Acute Organophosphate Poisoning: Possible Predictive Markers
Background: It is becoming apparent that although inhibition of cholinesterase plays a key role in organophosphate (OP) toxicity, other factors are also important. One of the contributing factors for severity of OP poisoning is electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia. This study was aimed at evaluating the value of hypokalemia in association with plasma cholinesterase (PChE) levels in predic...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Annexin A2 as a Candidate Biomarker for Hepatic Fibrosis in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B
BACKGROUND Hepatologists have studied serologic markers of liver injury for decades. Annexins are a prominent group of such markers and annexin A2 (AnxA2) is one of the best characterized annexins. AnxA2 inhibits HBV polymerase among other functions. Its expression is up-regulated in regenerative hepatocytes. OBJECTIVES To determine if serum AnxA2 level has a role in estimating liver damage i...
متن کاملSerum Surfactant Protein D: Biomarker of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
BACKGROUND Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a lung-specific protein proposed to predict clinical outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the changes in serum SP-D during acute exacerbation (AECOPD) episodes and the relationship of serum SP-D with the overall severity of the disease in stable COPD (SCOPD) remain unclear. METHODS Serum SP-D levels were ana...
