Serum concentrations of the aminoterminal peptide of type III procollagen (P-III-P) in the sera from patients with chronic liver diseases were assayed by radioimmunoassay method developed by Timpl et al. The assayed values were significantly higher in the sera from chronic active hepatitis (30.96 ± 29.97ng/ml) than those from chronic inactive hepatitis (11.35 ±6.20ng/ml). The serum level of P-III-P seemed to correlate with the activity of chronic hepatitis and collagen biosynthesis than the amount of deposited collagen in the liver.<BR>Concentration of P-III-P was extraordinarily high in the sera from the patients with liver cancer. They were higher in the sera from liver cancer with liver cirrhosis than those without liver cirrhosis. P-III-P might be considered to be a non-specific marker of cancer.
