Liver protein synthesis was estimated comparing the levels of prothrombin and its inactive form PIVKA-prothrombin. The latter indicates liver dysfunction. These diagnostic tests allow monitoring the effectiveness of the commonly applied preparation “Essentiale Forte” and that of the liposomal form of the biologically active additive (BAA) FLP-MD based on phospholipids of various origin.
