Abstract

Literature is void of data on the relationship between pre- and postoperative levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor growth factor α (TGF-α) after liver resection performed for particular benign liver tumors. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is a different degree of liver regeneration through the kinetics of HGF, IL-6, and TGF-α in 2 particular types of benign liver lesions. The study included 9 patients diagnosed with hepatic hemangioma and 13 patients with focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) who underwent liver resection. HGF, IL-6, and TGF-α were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from blood serum drawn at 6 time points during an 8-day period. Statistical analysis was based on two-factor variance analysis with replicate measurements. The HGF, IL-6, and TGF-α levels in patients who underwent FNH resection were not significantly different from the levels observed in hemangioma resection patients. Significant increases in HGF, IL-6, and TGF-α concentrations were observed only during the first 24h after resection in both groups of patients. Obtained results suggest that the pre- and post-operative levels of HGF, IL-6, and TGF-α do not depend on the particu...Continue Reading

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
