Doppler measurements: a surrogate marker of liver fibrosis?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:α-Fetoprotein (AFP) and prothrombin induced by the absence of vitamin K or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) are useful tumor markers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little is known about the clinical characteristics and prognosis of HCC with different levels of AFP and PIVKA-II. METHODS:Consecutive 1447...
