From: VWF/ADAMTS13 ratio as a potential biomarker for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma
Correlation of the serum VEGF levels with the VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ratio and AFP-L3%. The serum VEGF level is significantly correlated with the VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ratio (a) but not with the AFP-L3% levels (b). VWF, von Willebrand factor; VWF:Ag, VWF antigen; ADAMTS13, a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs 13; ADAMTS13:AC, ADAMTS13 activity; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; AFP-L3%, Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive alpha-fetoprotein
