Golgi Protein for HCC Diagnosis

January 31, 2017 updated by: Shereen Abou Bakr Saleh, Ain Shams University

Golgi Protein 73 for Diagnosis of HCC in Egyptian Patients

This case-control study was conducted on 90 patients who were equally divided into two groups. Group 1 included 45 patients with HCV-related chronic liver disease without clinical or radiological evidence of HCC (control group), and Group 2 included 45 patients diagnosed to have HCC by Triphasic abdominal CT (patient group). Serum AFP and GP73 were measured using ELISA technique

Study Population

Group I: Included 45 patients with liver cirrhosis due to HCV infection. Liver cirrhosis was diagnosed clinically, laboratory, and radiologically. Chronic HCV infection was diagnosed by positive HCV antibody and positive quantitative HCV PCR.

Group II: Included 45 patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on top of HCV cirrhosis diagnosed by two imaging modalities, abdominal ultrasound and the characteristic arterial enhancement and venous washout in Tri-phasic CT abdomen.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients were older than 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients with hepatic focal lesions not due to HCC such as Hemangioma, Hepatic cyst, and liver metastases; patients infected with HIV; patients with any autoimmune disease; or patients with metastatic disease.
