Serum concentrations of the actin scavenger Gc-globulin are reduced in acute liver failure (ALF). Prospectively, we tested Gc-globulin's value to predict outcome following ALF using sera from 182 patients with ALF from the U.S. ALF Study Group. Admission serum levels of Gc-globulin (normal range: 35
Serum concentrations of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), variably elevated during liver injury, have been suggested to be of prognostic importance in acute liver failure (ALF), higher values being associated with improved outcome. Using a nephelometric assay, we measured AFP in sera obtained on admission fr
