• blood marker
• epithelial membrane antigen
• hepatitis C virus
• liver fibrosis

Aim: The epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) could detect small deposits of liver malignant cells. However, no information exists regarding the use of EMA in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Therefore, we attempted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of EMA to distinguish patients with different liver fibrosis stages.
