Nutrition and Chronic Liver Disease
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2002Nutritional abnormalities almost uniformly accompany the metabolic disturbances of severe chronic liver disease and may adversely affect patient well-being and survival, especially surrounding liver transplantation surgery. The exact metabolic alterations responsible for malnutrition and its consequences in these patients have been debated and are a ...

Immunogenetics of chronic liver diseases
Gastroenterology, 1994The genetic background of autoimmune diseases becomes more and more evident. Immunogenetics comprises the analysis of genes and their products located at the region 6p21 on the short arm of chromosome 6, which is also known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). MHC class I and II genes are highly polymorphic. The complement genes C2, C4A, C4B,

Gallstones in Chronic Liver Disease
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2005Gallstones occur more commonly in patients with cirrhosis. The incidence increases with severity of liver disease, and the majority remain asymptomatic. When symptoms do occur, morbidity and mortality are much higher than in noncirrhotic patients. Asymptomatic gallstones in cirrhotic patients are best managed conservatively with close follow-up and ...

Endothelins in chronic liver disease
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1996This review describes recent progress in the accumulation of knowledge about the endothelins (ETs), a family of vasoactive 21-amino acid polypeptides, in chronic liver disease. Particular prominence is given to the dynamics of ET-1 and ET-3 and their possible relation to the disturbed circulation and neurohumoral dysregulation found in cirrhosis ...

Selenium in chronic liver disease
Journal of Hepatology, 1992In order to assess the role of selenium (Se) in chronic liver disease, we have measured serum, urinary and hepatic selenium in a range of liver diseases and correlated them with nutritional status and conventional liver biochemistry. Serum Se levels (microgram/l +/- S.D.) were significantly lower in both alcoholic (63.6 +/- 18.2, p less than 0.0001 ...

CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE IN HAEMOPHILIACS
British Journal of Haematology, 1990Chronic liver disease undoubtedly affects the majority of haemophiliacs receiving clotting factor concentrates today. The prevalence is higher than that of HIV infection and, despite the general lack of symptoms, there is evidence to suggest that cirrhosis and its associated complications are likely to become increasingly recognized in the coming ...

Nutrition in Chronic Liver Disease
Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2019Malnutrition is a common finding in patients with chronic advanced liver disease (CLD) and is an important prognostic predictor for morbidity and mortality. This review aims to summarize the latest evidence-based guidelines and expert opinion regarding diagnosing malnutrition in patients with CLD and providing optimal solutions.In addition to diet ...

Ghrelin in chronic liver disease
Journal of Hepatology, 2003Ghrelin is a novel endogenous ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor involved in energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis and food intake. We investigated the role of ghrelin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), the mediator of the GH axis, in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD).Ghrelin and IGF-1 serum levels were determined
