BACKGROUND The importance of early diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease underscores the need to seek better and especially non-invasive diagnostic procedures.Leukocyte cellderived chemotaxin-2(LECT2)has been widely studied to determine its usefulness in monitoring the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but not for alcoholic liver cirrhosis(ALC).AIM To determine the concentration of LECT2 in the blood serum of patients in relation to progressive stages of ALC,its relation to fibroblast growth factor 1(FGF-1)and FGF-21,and to examine the possible wider use of LECT2 in diagnosing ALC.METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted with 69 ALC cases and 17 controls with no ALC.Subjects were recruited from the region of Lublin(eastern Poland).Liver cirrhosis was diagnosed based on clinical features,history of heavy alcohol consumption,laboratory tests,and abdominal ultrasonography.The degree of ALC was evaluated according to Pugh-Child criteria(the Pugh-Child score).Blood was drawn and,after centrifugation,serum was collected for analysis.LECT2,FGF-1,and FGF-21 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.RESULTS The LECT2 Levels in the control group were 18.99±5.36 ng/mL.In the study groups,they declined with the progression of cirrhosis to 11.06±6.47 ng/mL in one group and to 8.06±5.74 ng/mL in the other(P<0.0001).Multiple comparison tests confirmed the statistically significant differences in LECT2 Levels between the control group and both test groups(P=0.006 and P<0.0001).FGF-21 Levels were 44.27±64.19 pg/mL in the first test group,45.4±51.69 pg/mL in the second(P=0.008),and 13.52±7.51 pg/mL in the control group.The difference between the control group and the second test group was statistically significant(P=0.007).CONCLUSION We suggest that LECT2 may be a non-invasive diagnostic factor for alcoholinduced liver cirrhosis.The usefulness of LECT2 for non-invasive monitoring of alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis was indirectly confirmed by the multiple regression model developed on the basis of our statistical analysis. 展开更多
