Determination of serum fibrosis index in patients with chronic hepatitis and its relationship to histological activity index.
OBJECTIVE To study the reliability of serum hyaluronic acid (HA) as a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and its relationship to liver biopsy findings. METHODS In a prospective controlled clinical trial, 48 patients with chronic liver disease were selected from Pediatric Departments, Al-Jedaany and Al-Hayat Hospitals, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from November 2005 to...
متن کاملSerum hyaluronic acid and laminin as biomarkers in liver fibrosis.
BACKGROUND AND AIM Non-invasive methods have been proposed as surrogate markers for liver biopsy. It was shown that serum hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminin (LN) levels increase with the development of liver fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine serum HA and LN levels cut-off points for predicting liver fibrosis, highlighting their diagnostic value and their changes during treatment. ...
متن کاملCan Viral Load Predict Liver Histology in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B?
Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. Serum HBV DNA measurement is a non-invasive test that predicts the liver disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...
متن کاملDetermination of the Relationship of Serum Hyaluronic Acid Levels to the Degree of Liver Fibrosis in Biopsies of Patients with Chronic Viral Hepatitis B and C
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Determining the stage of liver fibrosis and the grade of necroinflammation is important in predicting the prognosis and treatment response of patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Liver biopsy is associated with several technical problems and complications; therefore, its repetitive performance as a procedure in evaluating treatment response and in following up patients is ...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum hyaluronic acid level and hyaluronidase activity in acute and chronic hepatitis C.
Following major tissue injury, hyaluronic acid production increases as a rapid response survival mechanism. Increased hyaluronic acid production and turnover are often associated with increased hyaluronidase activity, the enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid. We investigated whether hyaluronic acid and hyaluronidase can be used as non-invasive markers of acute disease activity in hepatitis C by...
