Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the severity of liver cirrhosis on the level of lipids and lipoproteins
Lech Chrostek,Lukasz Supronowicz,Anatol Panasiuk,Bogdan Cylwik,Ewa Gruszewska,Robert Flisiak +5 more
TL;DR: The serum HDL-Ch and LDL-Ch may be considered as markers of severity of liver damage in non-alcoholic cirrhosis, but the triglycerides only in disease of alcoholic origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender‐related differences in hepatic activity of alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes and aldehyde dehydrogenase in humans
TL;DR: The results of this study clearly show that there is a difference in enzymatic activity between male and female patients for those isoenzymes that actively participate in ethanol oxidation in the liver (class I and II ADH), although the main form of ADH in this organ is class III ADH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congenital disorders of glycosylation. Part II. Defects of protein O-glycosylation
TL;DR: An overview of CDG with a new nomenclature limited to the group of protein N-glycosylation disorders, clinical phenotype and diagnostic approach, have been presented and the location, reasons for defects, and the number of cases have been described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver fibrosis markers in alcoholic liver disease.
Lech Chrostek,Anatol Panasiuk +1 more
TL;DR: The use of biomarkers may reduce the need for liver biopsy and permit an earlier treatment of alcoholic patients, therefore noninvasive assessment of fibrosis remains important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between serum acute-phase proteins and high disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Bogdan Cylwik,Lech Chrostek,Ewa Gindzienska-Sieskiewicz,Stanisław Sierakowski,Maciej Szmitkowski +4 more
TL;DR: Among the entire panel, the CRP and AGP appeared to be the most useful biochemical markers for evaluation of the disease activity of patients with RA.
