| Core Tip |
Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a biomarker of fibrosis that has recently been introduced in the field of hepatology. COMP has also been associated with tumor development. This is the first prospective study of COMP in chronic liver disease. We confirm previous findings, relating S-COMP to liver cirrhosis. Eradication of hepatitis C was associated with improvements of liver function test and liver elasticity. In contrast, and unexpectedly, S-COMP remained unchanged in this cohort. We argue that the biomarker potential of COMP in chronic liver diseases needs further exploration, especially in reference to carcinoma development. |
