  • BIOMARKERS FOR INFLAMMATION OF THE LIVER
    Publication number: 20140045718
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the diagnostic investigation of biological samples from a person for inflammation of the liver, in particular hepatic fibrosis and/or cirrhosis of the liver, where the sample is investigated for one or more proteins as markers of inflammation of the liver, in particular hepatic fibrosis and/or cirrhosis of the liver, where a concentration of the proteins which is elevated or decreased by comparison with the healthy state indicates the presence of an inflammation of the liver, in particular a hepatic fibrosis and/or cirrhosis of the liver.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 10, 2013
    Publication date: February 13, 2014
