Matrix Metalloproteinase
Conditions
Keywords
biliary drainage, matrix metalloproteinases
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to detect differences in the enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases in patients with malignant obstructive hyperbilirubinemia before and after percutaneous biliary drainage.
Detailed description
This study will be designed as a prospective cohort study involving the collection of peripheral blood samples before and one month after percutaneous biliary drainage for further molecular biochemical analysis (measurement of serum matrix metalloproteinase activity). Biochemical analyzes are preceded by the entry of data relevant to the research (demographic, anamnestic, clinical and biochemical).
Interventions
Collection of peripheral blood samples before and one month after percutaneous biliary drainage performed for patients with malignant obstructive hyperbilirubinemia for further molecular biochemical analysis (measurement of serum matrix metalloproteinase activity).
