Does urinary cotinine concentration confirm the reduced risk of preeclampsia with tobacco exposure?
These findings, obtained by using laboratory assay, confirm the reduced risk of developing preeclampsia with tobacco exposure.
CA 125 concentration is elevated in the majority of patients with cirrhosis and normalizes after liver transplantation. It is a reflection of the abdominal distention seen in these patients. Therefore, an elevation in CA 125 should not be considered a contraindication to liver transplantation in the absence of evidence of malignancy.
