Serum Level of Cytokeratin 18 (M65) as a Prognostic Marker of High Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Individuals with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [PDF]
Alterations in apoptosis, as reflected by circulating Cytokeratin 18 (CK18), are involved in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and atherogenesis. We aimed to explore the discriminant accuracy of

Cytokeratin 18 as a Novel Biomarker in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart muscle disease associated with an increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Cytokeratin 18-based proteins, such as M30 and M65 antigens, are known cell-death biomarkers. M30 antigen is released from cells

Clinical significance of serum M30 and M65 levels in patients with breast cancer
M30 and M65 are relatively new assays that detect different circulating forms of the epithelial cell structural protein cytokeratin18. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical significance of the serum levels of M30 and M65 in patients with breast cancer. A total of 80 patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer

Preliminary study on the diagnostic value of LEAP-2 and CK18 in biopsy-proven MAFLD [PDF]
Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease. Liver biopsy, as the diagnostic gold standard, is invasive and has sampling bias, making it particularly important to search for sensitive

Diagnostic value of serum M30 and M65 in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma
M30 and M65 are circulating fragments of cytokeratin 18 released during apoptotic cell death and regarded as markers of cell death in patients with various tumor types. Our aim was to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance of the serum M30 and M65 concentrations in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
