Clinical Implications of the Serum Apelin Level on Portal Hypertension and Prognosis of Liver Cirrhosis.
2016
Background/Aims
Levels of serum apelin (s-apelin), an endogenous ligand for angiotensin-like receptor 1, have been shown to be related to hepatic fibrosis and hemodynamic abnormalities in preclinical studies. We investigated the clinical implications of s-apelin as a noninvasive prognostic biomarker for chronic liver disease (CLD).
