Özet
Background: After 40 years since establishment of Child-Pugh staging, 14 years since establishment of MELD scoring system, and 25 years since establishment of King's College Criteria, there is still a search for more accurate systems for determination of prognosis in patients with acute liver failure - cirrhosis and prioritization for receipt of a liver transplant - prediction of post transplant mortality. Butrylcholinesterase is an enzyme which is synthesized in the liver. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical utility of butrylcholinesterase as a discriminatory and prognostic factor in chronic liver disease patients.
