Is chitosanase 3-like protein 1 value 162.9 considered cirrhosis?

If chitosanase 3-like protein 1 reaches 162.9 ng/ml, then it indicates a high value of chitosanase 3-like protein 1, and cirrhosis may be present, but it is not diagnostic. Chitosanase 3-like protein 1 is a secreted glycoprotein that is mainly found in hepatic stellate cells and macrophages and is involved in the formation of fibrosis. The specific value of this indicator reflects liver fibrosis and cirrhosis to a certain extent; the higher the value, the more severe the liver fibrosis. Generally speaking, if the actual value is less than 79 ng/ml, then there is no significant liver fibrosis, and if the value is between 79-134 ng/ml, then the degree of liver fibrosis is relatively mild and has not reached the level of cirrhosis. However, if the value is greater than 134ng/ml and reaches 162.9ng/ml, then it means that the degree of liver fibrosis is more serious, indicating that there may be cirrhosis of the liver, and then the patient may experience a series of uncomfortable symptoms, such as loss of appetite, fatigue, ascites, jaundice, and varicose veins and so on. However, the value of chitosan 3-like protein 1 alone cannot accurately determine cirrhosis, and patients need to undergo further tests to confirm the diagnosis and treatment with the help of a doctor.
