Many human blood proteins are synthesised in the liver. Their serum levels may decrease or increase due to liver disorders and some of them serve as useful biomarkers. Determination of serum concentration of different biomarkers has important role in diagnosis of liver diseases and in monitoring the course of disease. In this work 3 serum markers associated with liver disorders were compared. The aim was to assess whether these biomarkers exhibit specific distribution pattern in different types of liver disease: liver neoplasia (primary hepatocellular carcinoma [HC] or metastatic liver disease [MLD] from colon cancer), viral hepatitis C (HCV) and the parasitic infection echinococcosis.
