77620-3
LaboratoryArginase-1 [Mass/volume] in Serum by Immunoassay
Definition
Arginase-1 (s-Arg-1, Liver-type) levels are measured to monitor patients with liver disorders or pre- and postoperative conditions of patients who received partial hepatoectomy with quicker normalization in comparison with aminotransferases (ALT and AST). Additionally, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients have been found to have increased myeloid derived suppressor cell (MDSC) numbers and high arginase-1 levels.[PMID: 23383287]
