We investigate whether combined liver function marker such as gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and PIVKA-II increase their diagnostic predictive value in diagnosis of HCC.GastroenterologyHepatologyPredictive value of protein induced by absence of vitamin K absence or antagonist II, alpha-fetoprotein and gamma-glutamyltransferase/aspartate aminotransferase ratio for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in transplantation candidatesJournal Article1473-5687756971300023Q410965
