Laminin concentration in ascites of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Laminin levels in ascitic fluid have been proposed as a marker for neoplastic ascites. We compared the concentration of laminin in serum and in ascitic fluid from patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis and assessed the diagnostic ...
