Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is a diffuse liver disease resulting from

degeneration of liver cells followed by fibrosis and formation of

regeneration nodules leading to irreversible loss of normal

hepatic architecture.

Metalloproteinase 2 is a member of a family called

endopeptidases involved in degrading extra cellular matrix

especially type four collagen and is used in evaluating degree of

liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
