Immunonephelometric quantification of group‐specific component protein in patients with acute liver failure

F H Wians, W Lin, L P Brown, F V Schiodt, W M Lee – 30 December 2003 – Serum levels of group‐specific component (Gc) protein are useful in evaluating the likelihood of survival in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who may be candidates for liver transplant surgery. Most methods for quantifying Gc protein concentration are either isotopic, manual, technically demanding, and/or time consuming to perform, and thus are not well suited for routine clinical use in a hospital setting.
