Proportion of NCAM-Positive Atypical Ductules in Different Forms of Chronic Liver Disease
| Liver Disease | % of HEA-125-positive atypical ductuals expressing NCAM | |
|---|---|---|
| Median | Range | |
| Biliary atresia (n = 2) | 98 | 96–100 |
| PBC (n = 2) | 86 | 80–90 |
| PSC (n = 1) | 58 | 54–60 |
| Cryptogenic cirrhosis (n = 2) | 26 | 18–30 |
| Alcoholic cirrhosis (n = 1) | 35 | 20–58 |
| Autoimmune hepatitis (n = 1) | 12 | 5–15 |
The number of tissue samples studied for the different forms of liver cirrhosis is given in parentheses. For each tissue sample at least three portal tracts were examined at random.
