ABSTRACT
Background@#Liver cirrhosis is advanced stage of hepatic brosis caused by viral hepatitis. Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) is a serum marker to diagnose and evaluate hepatic brosis progression. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of serum M2BPGi to predict chronic hepatitis B (HBV)-mediated cirrhosis by liver biopsy. @*Methods@#M2BPGi cut-off index (COI) was evaluated from 312 patients with chronic HBV-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma and 105 healthy controls. Comparative analysis was performed with conventional hepatic brosis markers such as brosis index based on four factors (FIB-4), aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and Fibroscan. @*Results@#Korean Study Group for Pathology of Digestive Diseases classified 165 (52%) patients with histological stage F4 liver cirrhosis. Comparison of cases with stage F4 cirrhosis and stage F3 septal brosis revealed significant difference between M2BPGi, platelet count, APRI, FIB-4, and Fibroscan prediction. M2BPGi 2+ (COI ≥3) was found to be 8% in patients with F4 cirrhosis and 1% in patients with F3 brosis. In multi-regression analysis, M2BPGi showed higher odds ratio than that of other serum markers while M2BPGi 2+ showed comparable odds ratio to Fibroscan F3 and F4 assessment. @*Conclusions@#In patients with chronic HBV-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma, M2BPGi was neither comprehensive nor as effective as Fibroscan in assessing liver cirrhosis and brosis progression.
