Plasma Ammonia Levels Predict Hepatic Encephalopathy After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective treatment for portal hypertension. Overt hepatic encephalopathy (oHE) is a complication after TIPS associated with increased morbidity. Elevated ratio of plasma ammonia (AMM) levels compared to the local upper limit of normal (ULN) has been ...

Impact of Frailty on the Prognosis of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Undergoing Insertion of a TIPS

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS, frailty—measured by the Liver Frailty Index—improved in those with poor baseline status; therefore, high frailty should not be seen as a contraindication to elective TIPS. Additionally, LFI assessment before TIPS enables identification of patients with excellent survival prognosis.
