Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is involved with biological research based on current needs of Life sciences, especially, understanding of biological anomalies, mechanisms and preventive measures. The BMB department has set up several research laboratories where some sophisticated researches are carried out based on basic Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Protein Technology, Medical Entomology, Phytomedicine, Bioinformatics, and Microbial research. We are capable of doing mammalian cell culture, protein isolation, purification characterization, bioassays, DNA/RNA isolation, Quantitative Real Time PCR, conventional PCR, Agarose gel electrophoresis, Western blotting, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Gel documentation, High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Extraction [...]
View MoreEndoscopy has long been widely used to screen for esophageal varices (EV) in cirrhotic patients. Recurrent endoscopy is a significant burden for the healthcare system of the endoscopic unit as well as uncomfortable and high costs for patients. This study intended to prognosticate Right Liver Lobe Diameter/Serum Albumin Ratio (RLLD/Alb) as a non-invasive approach in the early diagnosis of EV among chronic liver disease (CLD) Bangladeshi patients enrolled in a specific hospital.
A total of 150 admitted patients with CLD were included in the study. Patients were subjected through a comprehensive biochemical checkup and upper digestive endoscopic or ultrasonographic inspection. The correlation was evaluated between the RLLD/Alb ratio and esophageal varices grades.
The upper digestive endoscopy demonstration among 150 patients resulted in no EV in 18%, while 24% of patients was identified as EV grade I, 20% as grade II, 20% as grade III, and 18% patients as grade IV. The mean value of the RLLD/Alb ratio was 4.89 ± 1.49 (range from 2.30 to 8.45). The RLLD/Alb ratio diagnosed the EV employing the cut-off value of 4.01 with 85.3% sensitivity and 68.8% specificity. Furthermore, it was positively correlated with the grading of EV, when this ratio increased the grading of EV increases and vice versa (r = 0.630, p < 0.001).
The RLLD/Alb ratio is a non-invasive parameter giving exact guidance relevant to the ascertainment of the existence of EV and their grading in chronic liver disease patients.
