To determine whether a mixed cryoglobulin type correlated with cirrhosis in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).
We investigated the results of mixed cryoglobulin tests performed in the clinical laboratory on patients with and without HCV infection.
A higher prevalence of oligoclonal cryoglobulins designated Type IIa was present in HCV-infected patients with cirrhosis than in those without cirrhosis.
An association of Type IIa cryoglobulins with cirrhosis in HCV-infected patients has not previously been reported.
确定混合性冷球蛋白类型是否与丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者的肝硬化相关。
我们调查了临床实验室对有或无HCV感染患者进行的混合性冷球蛋白检测结果。
与未患肝硬化的HCV感染患者相比,患肝硬化的HCV感染患者中,指定为IIa型的寡克隆冷球蛋白患病率更高。
此前尚未报道IIa型冷球蛋白与HCV感染患者的肝硬化有关联。
