Abstract:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease that leads to the destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts. While the inflammatory process can be mediated by monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), the importance of circulating MCP-1 as a biomarker is unclear. Our aim was to assess the diagnostic significance of the serum concentrations of MCP-1 in PBC patients. We compared circulating MCP-1 with biochemical, immunological and histological parameters. Serum samples were collected from… Show more
