CD34 and Hepatic fibrosis: Interestingly, to our knowledge, our findings were the first to report a statistically substantial positive correlation of large strength between the percent of CD34 + cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, transaminases serum level and ratio, the expression of CXCR4 receptors in the liver, the level of SDF-1α in the liver and its concentration gradient with the liver fibrosis area percentage, and a statistically substantial negative correlation of large strength between SDF-1α in the BM and the liver fibrosis area percentage.
