Clinical profile and characteristics of serum GP73 in cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis B infections / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore clinical profile and significance of serum golgi protein 73 (GP73) in cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection .Methods A total of 109 cirrhotic patients with HBV infection were included ,in which 60 patients were compensated cirrhosis ,and 49 patients were decompensated cirrhosis .The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were used to evaluate the clinical significance of GP73 for diagnosing decompensated cirrhosis in cirrhotic popula-tion .Results Serum GP73 level in cirrhotic patients was correlated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT ) and HBV DNA ,but neg-atively correlated with albumin levels .Serum GP73 levels in patients with decompensated cirrhosis was (215 .9 ± 96 .56)ng/mL , which was significant higher than (113 .7 ± 68 .95)ng/mL in patients with compensated cirrhosis .The area under ROC was 0 .82 (95% CI0 .74 ~ 0 .90 ,P< 0 .05) .The sensitivity and specificity of GP73 diagnosing decompensated cirrhosis in cirrhotic population with chronic HBV infection were 77 .55% and 75 .00% respectively ,when the cut-off was set at 140 .5 ng/mL .Conclusion Serum GP73 level is related with liver injury and HBV replication .GP73 might be an useful marker for diagnosing decompensated cirrhosis in cirrhotic population with chronic HBV infections .
