Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid - the proven best biomarker for liver fibrosis

HA Overview

Liver fibrosis is a prevalent in millions of Europeans due to HBV/HCV infections, alcohol abuse, hemochromatosis, thalassemia and other disorders. HA has been extensively studied in patients with different aetiologies of liver disease and proved to be the bestsingle marker of fibrosis, with sufficient sensitivity to descriminate cirrhosis from other fibrosis stages.  

 

The HA Assay

The recent introduction of the Wako HA LT kit means that the Hyaluronic Acid Assay can be automated in the routine clinical laboratory for the first time.

In the Assay, the HA in the sample combines with Hyaluronic Acid Binding Protein (HABP). An insoluble aggregate is then made by adding latex particles, coated with anti-HABP antibody. The resulting increase in turbidity is proportional to the concentration of Hyaluronic Acid in the sample.
