[The place of fibronectin in hepatologic diagnosis].
In the paper the structure, place od synthesis and biological role of fibronectin in human organism are discussed, and the value of plasma fibronectin (FN) concentration determination in the diagnosis of chronic hepatic diseases, including hepatic fibrosis, was critically evaluated. Simultaneously, the view is presented that the determination of FN concentration in peritoneal fluid, as well the determination of amount and location of FN in the hepatic tissue should be a routine element of hepatological diagnosis.
