Abstract:Objective: To analyze the relationship of the expression levels of serum cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) with bleeding from esophageal varices (EV) and liver function classification in patients with liver cirrhosis ascites. Methods: 245 patients with liver cirrhosis ascites were selected and their serum CK18 and FGF-21 levels were tested. Serum CK18 and FGF-21 levels of patients with different Chid-Pugh grades of liver function were compared, and correlation analysis was carried out. According to the presence or absence of bleeding from EV, the patients were divided into bleeding group and non-bleeding group. Factors affecting bleeding from EV were analyzed. Results: CK18 levels of patients with grade A, grade B, and grade C liver function increased in turn (P<0.05), while FGF-21 levels of patients with grade A, grade B, and grade C liver function decreased in turn (P<0.05). The grade of liver function was positively correlated with CK18 (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with FGF-21 (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group in terms of EV degree, Chid-Pugh classification of liver function, CK18 and FGF-21 expression levels (P<0.05). Logistic analysis showed that Chid-Pugh classification of liver function and CK18 were risk factors for bleeding from EV (P<0.05), while FGF-21 was a protective factor (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression levels of serum CK18 and FGF-21 in patients with liver cirrhosis ascites are closely related to bleeding from EV and liver function classification.
