Evaluation of leucocyte adherence inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: Summary.-The value of the leucocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) test in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was investigated in 36 patients with this tumour. The sensitivity and specificity of the tube LAI test was assessed in 21 patients with HCC, 15 apparently healthy individuals, 9 patients with various forms of benign liver disease and 5 patients with non-hepatic neoplasms. In only 42% of the HCC patients tested was leucocyte adherence to glass reduced to a greater extent than in the healthy con… Show more
