Circulating liver-specific miR-122 as a novel potential biomarker for diagnosis of cholestatic liver injury.

BACKGROUND: Circulating microRNA-122 (miR-122) has been increasingly reported to be a potential biomarker for drug-, viral-, alcohol- and chemical-induced liver injury. The present study was initiated to determine the potential of circulating miR-122 as a biomarker for cholestatic liver injury. METH...
