Correlation between CA19-9 and laboratory values. Correlation between CA19-9 and laboratory values indicating cholestasis (A, ALP, γGT, and total bilirubin), and (B) transaminase levels and (C) markers of inflammation. All x-axes are cut-off at a CA19-9 level of 500 U/mL. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.

Influence of DS and SBC on CA19-9 level. (A) The influence of SBC on CA19-9 levels is more dominant in comparison with the influence of cholestasis. For both cholestasis, as indicated by the endoscopic finding of a (B) DS, and (C) SBC, there is a significant influence of the FUT2/3 genotype on the CA19-9 level. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
