BACKGROUND This study analyzed pretransplant alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and proteins induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 3,273 LT recipients enrolled at the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry were divided according to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status and background liver disease, and AFP and PIVKA-II were compared. RESULTS In all patients, the median AFP and PIVKA-II were 6.3 ng/mL and 29 mAU/mL in the viable-HCC group and 3.3 ng/mL and 35 mAU/mL, respectively, in the no-HCC group (P<0.001 for AFP and p=0.037 for PIVKA-II). In patients with hepatitis B virus infection, they were 6.0 ng/mL and 26 mAU/mL in the HCC group and 3.2 ng/mL and 21 mAU/mL in the no-HCC group, respectively (P<0.001 and P<0.001). In patients with hepatitis C virus infection, they were 10.7 ng/mL and 37 mAU/mL in the HCC group and 2.6 ng/mL and 21 mAU/mL in the no-HCC group, respectively (P<0.001 and P=0.117). In alcoholic liver disease patients, they were 5.2 ng/mL and 61 mAU/mL in the HCC group and 6.4 ng/mL and 75 mAU/mL in the no-HCC group, respectively (P<0.001 and P=0.419). In patients with other diseases, they were 7.1 ng/mL and 32 mAU/mL in the HCC group and 3.3 ng/mL and 28 mAU/mL in the no-HCC group, respectively (P<0.001 and P=0.822). CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study indicate that pretransplant serum AFP and PIVKA-II were highly variably expressed in LT candidates with end-stage liver diseases; therefore, their values should be cautiously interpreted because their role in HCC diagnosis is limited.

背景

本研究分析了肝移植（LT）候选者移植前甲胎蛋白（AFP）和维生素 K 缺乏或拮抗剂-II（PIVKA-II）诱导的蛋白。

材料与方法

在韩国器官移植登记处登记的 3273 名 LT 受者根据肝细胞癌（HCC）状况和背景肝病进行分组，并比较 AFP 和 PIVKA-II。

结果

在所有患者中，有活力 HCC 组的 AFP 和 PIVKA-II 中位数分别为 6.3ng/ml 和 29mAU/ml，无 HCC 组分别为 3.3ng/ml 和 35mAU/ml（AFP 差异有统计学意义，P<0.001，PIVKA-II 差异有统计学意义，p=0.037）。在乙型肝炎病毒感染者中，HCC 组的 AFP 和 PIVKA-II 中位数分别为 6.0ng/ml 和 26mAU/ml，无 HCC 组分别为 3.2ng/ml 和 21mAU/ml（AFP 和 PIVKA-II 差异均有统计学意义，均 P<0.001）。在丙型肝炎病毒感染者中，HCC 组的 AFP 和 PIVKA-II 中位数分别为 10.7ng/ml 和 37mAU/ml，无 HCC 组分别为 2.6ng/ml 和 21mAU/ml（P<0.001 和 P=0.117）。在酒精性肝病患者中，HCC 组的 AFP 和 PIVKA-II 中位数分别为 5.2ng/ml 和 61mAU/ml，无 HCC 组分别为 6.4ng/ml 和 75mAU/ml（P<0.001 和 P=0.419）。在其他疾病患者中，HCC 组的 AFP 和 PIVKA-II 中位数分别为 7.1ng/ml 和 32mAU/ml，无 HCC 组分别为 3.3ng/ml 和 28mAU/ml（P<0.001 和 P=0.822）。
