Usefulness of serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer in patients undergoing hepatectomy: A case controlled study

摘要

BackgroundTo evaluate the clinical significance of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi), we investigated the relationship between M2BPGi and clinicopathological and surgical parameters and posthepatectomy complications.Materials and methodsWe examined M2BPGi in 115 patients with hepatic malignancies undergoing hepatectomy. Significance as an independent prognostic marker was determined with multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe mean serum M2BPGi level was 1.14?±?1.03?C.O.I. (range 0.2–5.79). M2BPGi in the chronic viral hepatitis group (1.42?±?1.25) was significantly higher than that in the other disease groups (p?
