Serum cholesterol and bile acid in primary hepatoma
Abstract:
The close relationship between serum levels of cholesterol and bile acid has been confirmed in 46 patients with primary hepatoma. Serum levels of cholesterol and bile acid are roughly correlated with serum alpha-fetoprotein concentration. Because the relationship between serum cholesterol and bile acid did not exist in common hepatocellular diseases, the results suggest a peculiar sterol metabolism occurring in human hepatoma.
