Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: We measured serum XT-I activity in 236 patients with different serum creatinine levels. RESULTS: XT-I activities in cohorts with increased creatinine levels were not significantly altered compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: Serum XT-I activity is applicable as a fibrosis marker independent from renal function.
