Abstract

Background: Most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at late stages despite of improvement screening programs and lack of effective diagnostic methods for cases with preclinical HCC leads to a low rate of early detection. Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) is associated with several types of cancer. However, to our knowledge, the diagnostic significance of AKR1B10 measurement in early stage of HCC has poorly understood.

Aim

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum AKR1B10 in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disorders and its unique role in diagnosing HCC.

Methods

Serum AKR1B10 was detected by sandwich ELISA in 30 patients with HCV-related HCC, 30 patients with HCV related liver cirrhosis, and 20 healthy controls. Both Serum AKR1B10 and α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were analyzed, evaluated and compared.

Results

Serum AKR1B10 was significantly elevated in patients with HCC compared with. The sensitivity (86.7.0%) and specificity (70%) for HCC diagnosis with AKR1B10 were high at a cutoff value of 0.945 ng/ml, while alpha fetoprotein had sensitivity 67% and specificity 88% in early detection of HCC among studied groups at cutoff point higher than 17.9. ng/ml. Furthermore, concurrent measurement of Alpha fetoprotein and AKR1B10 had increased sensitivity to 97.6% and specificity 100% in early detection of HCC among studied groups at cutoff point higher than ≥150 ng/ml. Furthermore, concurrent measurement of serum AKR1B10 and AFP significantly increased sensitivity and negative predictive value for HCC diagnosis.

Conclusions

we concluded in the current study that AKR1B10 has a unique role as a biomarker for early-stage HCV-related HCC. Compared with AFP alone, a combination of serum AKR1B10 and AFP had an increased the diagnostic performance in patients with HCC.
