Serum type III procollagen peptide (PIIIP), a degradation product of the type III collagen precursor, has been put forward as an exposure marker for mineral dust We evaluated PIIIP levels as a marker of exposure to and effects of coal dust in retired coal miners (n = 104) To this end: (a) the indivi

To assess the value of type I11 procollagen peptide (sPIIIP) as a marker of hepatic fibrosis, sera from 73 patients with alcohol-related liver disease and 30 patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis (IHC) were studied by a specific radioimmunoassay. sPIIIP was increased in 87% of 30 patients with ci
To assess the clinical value of serum biochemical markers, the aminoterminal peptide of type III procollagen, type IV collagen 7S domain, the central triple-helix of type IV collagen and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, as a marker of hepatic fibrosis, we measured these four serum markers in
