“…The levels of cytokeratin 18 have also been studied in patients with alcoholic liver disease, patients with malignancies and compared to healthy controls. It was noted that cytokeratin 18 levels in heavy drinkers was higher than those of healthy controls and tended to be even higher than those in patients with malignancies [36]. This reveals a potential for cytokeratin 18 as a follow-up marker of liver disease progression in patients known to over consume EtOH.…”

“…Cytokeratin 8 is one of the main keratins in Mallory bodies [35,36], a characteristic feature of alcoholic liver disease and of alcoholic hepatitis. It was recently shown in vitro in Fig.…”

“…37 However, serum keratin levels are also elevated in nonmalignant diseases thereby limiting their diagnostic specificity. For example, TPS and CYFRA 21-1 levels increase in alcoholic liver disease 38 and high TPS levels occur in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. 39 In contrast to assays that non-selectively measure released keratin fragments and intact keratins, methods that use antibodies specifically recognizing apoptotic K18 or K19 fragments but not intact keratins may hold promise.…”

“…Two additional patients in the same series showing bland cirrhosis (without alcoholic hepatitis) were not included in the study. All patients were included in one of three previous studies [14,17,18]. Median age of participants was 45 (range 28-74) years.…”

“…Moreover, serum TPS levels may help differentiate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis from simple fatty liver [15]. Likewise, serum TPS concentrations may be of help in diagnosing alcoholic hepatitis [14,[16][17][18]. Furthermore, the diagnostic accuracy of serum TPS for differentiating alcoholic hepatitis from fatty liver may be higher than that of routine liver markers [16].…”
