The changes in 4 liver fibrosis markers at different time points in liver cirrhosis patients (ug/L)
| Sampling time | LN (n=39) | HA (n=39) | PIIINP (n=39) | IV-Col (n=39) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre surgery (n=39) | 62.38 ± 64.94 | 44.33 ± 28.40 | 3.41 ± 1.76 | 67.05 ± 37.54 |
| Immediately post surgery (n=39) | 56.21 ± 59.68* | 44.59 ± 21.77 | 2.97 ± 1.83 | 50.09 ± 32.94* |
| 2 days post surgery (n=39) | 52.09 ± 53.10 | 146.38 ± 117.44* | 7.02 ± 3.67* | 121.60 ± 76.50* |
| 1 week post surgery (n=14) | 62.49 ± 61.26 | 77.07 ± 30.83* | 3.51 ± 1.06* | 49.75 ± 19.77* |

indicates that there was a statistical significance when compared with the value of a previous time point (P < 0.05).
LN: laminin; IV-col: type IV collagen; HA: Hyaluronic acid; PIIINP: procollagen III N-terminal peptide.
