Abstract In our study, we found that Mean age of the study group was 57 (±13) years, 60% were males.32 patients (32%) had DM, 20 patients (20%) were hypertensive and 53 patients (53%) were smokers. As regard laboratory data, bilirubin, GGT, ALP were statistically significant between all groups except between groups of malignant obstruction. Bilirubin level was elevated in group (I) and group II which was statistically significant compared to other groups. GGT and ALP were significantly higher in cholangiocarcinoma patients compared to remaining groups . ALT and AST were significantly higher in Group II compared to other groups .WBCs count was elevated in both group (I) and II. CRP was markedly elevated in group (II) followed by group I with compared to benign and no obstruction group. All CCA are perihilar, other malignancies were (12 cancer pancreas and 8 hepatocellular carcinoma). Level of serum CA 19-9 in cholangiocarcinoma was higher, when compared to other malignancies including (HCC & cancer head of pancreas).CA19-9 level was higher in benign obstruction compared to control group. AFP was highest in (HCC & cancer head of pancreas), while in cholangiocarcinoma was near normal. CEA was higher in cholangiocarcinoma compared to other malignancies including (HCC & cancer head of pancreas). |
