Serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels as biomarkers reflecting liver fibrosis in children with autoimmune hepatitis
To estimate the long-term prognosis of patients with AIH, it is crucial to assess liver fibrosis stage. It is crucial to identify noninvasive indicators of liver fibrosis, for which ceruloplasmin has been suggested as a biomarker. Therefore, serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels may provide important information for the identification of advanced liver fibrosis in children with AIH.
