📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: To assess the feasibility of serum prolidase, urotensin-2, and nesfatin measurements as diagnostic and follow-up markers ofcompensated or uncompensated cirrhosis.Material and Methods: The study included 97 cirrhosis patients and 51 healthy individuals who were admitted to the InternalMedicine and Gastroenterology Clinics of Harran University Research and Application Hospital between May 2014 and June 2015.Patients with esophageal variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy were considered as having decompensated cirrhosis.Blood samples obtained from patient and control groups were stored at -85 C.
📊
Key Findings & Data:ELISA methodology was used for measurements.Results: A total of 97 cirrhotic patients (43 with compensated and 54 with decompensated cirrhosis) with a median age of53.98±15.67 years (range: 19-89) were included in the study.

Conclusion & Impact:Serum prolidase levels were significantly lower in the overall group of patients with cirrhosisas well as in the decompensated cirrhotic patients as compared to controls (p
