The impact of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is poorly documented. We assessed quality of life in a group of 276 unselected patients with PBC using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). This is a generic scale that assesses six major areas commonly associate
By using commercially available ELISA kits, serum IL-6 and TNF-Ξ± levels in healthy adults, and the levels of various cytokines in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis or chronic viral liver diseases, were investigated. IL-6 levels of healthy subjects were distributed in a wide range, and the dist
The plasma metallothionein concentration was evaluated in healthy subjects and in patients with several types of liver disorders. Plasma metallothionein concentrations in controls varied between 2.4 and 4.8 ng/ml. Patients with disorders associated with increased liver copper concentrations (i.e., p
