摘要

Background

It is challenging to diagnose hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at an early stage since non-invasive markers are not specific and do not identify the early stage.

Objective

Serum microRNA-192 could represent an early and critical pathogenetic factor in different liver diseases.

Methods

92 participants were allocated into four equal groups (n = 23): control, compensated liver cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis, and HCC groups.

Results

Decompensated cirrhosis and HCC showed significantly elevated Serum Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, alpha-fetoprotein, and microRNA-192.

Conclusion

Serum microRNA-192 can predict decompensated liver cirrhosis and HCC with high sensitivity and specificity.
