Study on the significance of serum cholygylycine acid level in the prognosis for patients with cirrhosis / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

The serum level of cholygylycine acid was determined in 118 patients with liver cirrhosis and the patients were followed up for 1 year.37 patients out of the 118 died in the fol-lowup period.It was found that the serum level of cholygylycine acid was more closely correlated with the mortality rate of the patients with liver cirrhosis than other commonly used indices such as hepatic encephalopathy,ascites.nutritional status,hihrubin,albumin and gamma-globulin.The serum level of cholygylycine acid was compared with Child's grading concerning the prediction of the mortality rate.After Logistic regression analysis.it was confirmed that the serum level of cholygylycine acid was the most ideal index for the prognosis of the patients with liver cirrhosis.
