Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 199 as a Biomarker for Evaluating Patients with Choledocholithiasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Choledocholithiasis is a common and yet potentially debilitating disease of the biliary tract. While certain patients with this disease remain largely asymptomatic or experience mild discomfort, in several cases, patient can suffer biliary inflammation and other serious symptoms.

Elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels in a patient with choledocholithiasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) has been used as a tumor marker in the diagnosis and differentiation of pancreatic cancers. However, significantly high levels of CA 19-9 in the absence of pancreatic malignancy have also been reported. We present a 50-year-old woman with a common bile duct stone

Diagnostic value of elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 199 level in acute cholangitis secondary to choledocholithiasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic value of abnormal serum carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) level in acute cholangitis secondary to choledocholithiasis. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, the clinical data of 727 patients with choledocholithiasis admitted to the Third Affiliated

Benign Hydronephrosis and Elevated of Serum Levels of Carbohydrate Antigen CA 19-9: A Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Carbohydrate tumor-associated antigen (CA 19-9) has been shown to be upregulated in other malignant tumors including gastric, ovarian, hepatocellular, and colorectal carcinoma as well as benign diseases of the biliary track such as pancreatitis, cholangitis, and choledocholithiasis.

Carcinoembryonic antigen and blood group-related carbohydrate antigens in glycoproteins in human bile in hepatolithiasis. Japanese Study Group of Hepatolithiasis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated whether carbohydrate antigens on biliary glycoproteins and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are related to hepatolithiasis. CEA, ABO, and Lewis blood group-related antigens, as well as sialyl-Tn antigen in hepatic bile, were analyzed by Western blotting in samples from 12 patients with

The clinical utility and limitations of serum carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) as a diagnostic tool for pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND CA19-9 is a tumor marker for pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and other malignancies. However, its sensitivity and specificity is suboptimal in clinical practice, which we hypothesized limits its clinical utility. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility and limitations of CA19-9

Highly elevated serum levels of CA 19-9 in choledocholithiasis: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

We present a case of a 79-year-old woman admitted to our hospital with pain in the right upper abdominal quadrate radiated to the back, jaundice, fever and chills. The laboratory tests showed serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels of 99.070 U/ml (normal values: 0-37 U/ml). The rest of the

For biliary dilatation, a negative endosonography needs additional image studies in weight loss suggesting malignancy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Biliary dilatation frequently raises concerns about the possibility of pancreatobiliary diseases. This study assessed the etiologic yield of endosonography (EUS) in this situation. METHODS A retrospective review was completed with 163 consecutive patients who had undergone EUS for a

Adeno-endocrine cell carcinoma of the gallbladder.

Only registered users can translate articles

We encountered a rare case of adeno-endocrine cell carcinoma of the gallbladder in an 81-year-old woman. Imaging study revealed a common bile duct stone. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed, and the stone was extracted successfully. Thereafter, cholecystectomy was performed. A papillary tumor

Tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor in the diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

The serum values of tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) were measured in a prospective series of 97 patients with jaundice, 36 patients with unjaundiced cholestasis and 21 patients with suspicion of chronic pancreatitis or a pancreatic tumour, to assess its value in diagnosing pancreatic

Extraordinarily elevated serum levels of CA 19-9 and rapid decrease after successful therapy: a case report and review of literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is most valuable as a serum marker for pancreatic and biliary cancer, but increased concentrations occur in several other gastrointestinal malignancies. A carbohydrate antigen 19-9 value of >1,000 U/ml usually indicates a digestive cancer and has been reported to have a

Gut Microbiota in Alcoholic Hepatitis is Disparate from Those in Acute Alcoholic Pancreatitis and Biliary Disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is associated with gut dysbiosis. Comparative gut microbial profiles of acute alcoholic pancreatitis (AAP) and acute biliary disease (ABD) are not demonstrated. We aimed to compare gut microbiota of AH, AAP, and ABD patients with each other and with their

Sarcomatous intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Case report and literature review.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Sarcomatous intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare histological variant of cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Previous medical literature has not mentioned the prevalence of this kind of disease, but a poorer prognosis than that of ordinary ICC was indicated. The diagnosis of the sarcomatous

Investigation of 23 Bile Acids in Liver Bile in Benign and Malignant Biliary Stenosis: A Pilot Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Differential diagnosis between benign and malignant biliary stenosis can be difficult in clinical practice. Histology of biopsy specimens is often indeterminate. Laboratory markers (serum bilirubin > 75 μmol/L, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 400 U/mL) and the length of stenosis (>15 mm)
