Biliverdin is a breakdown product of the pro-oxidant heme, which is further oxidized to bilirubin. It has been linked to PD in other studies as well, implicating oxidative stress and bile acid pathways [60, 61]. Cortisol was also implicated in the external validation, with patients from ...
and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight divided by height in meters squared. The following biochemical variables in serum were measured by a conventional automated analyzer: platelet count (Plt), albumin, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST),...
Serum levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bile acid (TBA), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), carcino embryonie antigen (CEA) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) Score were lower in CHB group than HBV-associated cirrhosis ...
The serum ALP, gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT), total bile acid (TBA) and direct bilirubin (DBIL) levels significantly differed between the PBC and HBC patients (P < 0.05), but no significant differences were found in the age, liver ultrasonic score, and Child-Pugh score between the ...
aIn chronic pancreatitis patients, there was a striking excess of copper and also bilirubin soon after secretin, and higher serum levels, too, of caeruloplasmin [88]. The idea that these changes reflected a compensation for excessive copper absorption, in line with a failing pancreas, was suppor...
Preoperative characteristics, intraoperative findings, and early postoperative laboratory data (serum AST, ALT, bilirubin, and international normalized ratio (INR) on POD0 to POD5) were analyzed. Results:A total of 890 patients were included, of whom 31 (3.4%) had PHLF. Cut-off points for ...

(serum) was collected in sterile microfuge tubes and stored at −80 °C for the analysis of various biochemical parameters. The liver function enzyme levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and the bilirubin levels in serum were ...
