Recent studies suggest that the serum level of Type I11 procollagen (PC-III) could be a valuable, noninvasive monitor of hepatic fibrogenesis. We have developed a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for PC-I11 procollagen isolated and purified from fetal goat skin which shows high cross-reaction

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
