Measurement of redox balance of patients with different liver neoplasms with a method based on chemiluminometry

Background: Liver neoplasms have influence on the redox-homeostasis of the liver and the whole body, as well. Even in the early stages of tumorogenesis significant alterations of the redox system of the plasma and red blood cells can be found. Aim: To study the alterations of redox balance of the blood in patients suffering from different hepatic tumours. Methods: 71 Caucasian patients with histological diagnosis (benign (N=11), primer malignant (N=23) and colorectal metastases (N=37)) of hepatic neoplasm were investigated. Blood samples, then plasma and erythrocyte samples were separated. A recently developed c…
