The diagnostic value of determination of plasma fibronectin in chronic hepatic diseases was examined on the basis of the data available in the literature and the authors' own results of studies. The procedure for measuring fibronectin in healthy subjects and patients with hepatic cirrhoses and chronic persistent hepatitis is briefly outlined. Possible mechanisms of fibronectin level alterations are discussed in these pathological processes.
