As his clinical course suggested the possibility of antiphospholipid syndrome, a titer of anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) was serially measured using an enzyme immunoassay with &2-glbyceoptroate;in I as a cofactor. The titer of aCL increased with the development of portal hypertension, and promptly decreased with the improvement of liver function just after corticosteroid therapy. The long-term course in this case suggests that aCL may cause portal hypertension associated with SLE. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
