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
