Abstract

See full text

New markers for diseased liver conditions have been identified. A combination of protein C (PROC) and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) in blood are biomarkers to distinguish patients at different stages of hepatic fibrosis due, for example, to chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Also, alpha-1-B glycoprotein (A1BG), complement factor H (CFH) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit (IGFALS) distinguish subjects with chronic or acute liver conditions such as hepatitis infection or liver fibrosis from healthy controls.
