The value of PIVKA-Ⅱ versus AFP for the diagnosis and detection of postoperative changes in hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of abnormal prothrombin Ⅱ (PIVKA-Ⅱ) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: From 2018 0.01 to 2020.01, there were 158 patients with primary liver cancer caused by chronic hepatitis B (male 116, women 42) and 62 patients with chronic hepatitis B (male 34, female 28). The levels of serum PIVKA-Ⅱ and AFP were measured, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results: The value of PIVKA-Ⅱin liver cancer group was distinctly higher than that in chronic viral hepatitis B group, the difference is statistically significant (P ​
