title: Circadian rhythm of protein C in human plasma--useful marker of autonomic function in liver.
abstract: We have demonstrated changes in the circadian rhythm of plasma protein C levels in patients with autonomic dysfunction and liver-transplanted patients, compared with that in healthy volunteers. The circadian rhythm of protein C serves as a useful marker to screen for autonomic dysfunction in the liver.
