Clinical Liver Disease, 2019
Circulatory and cardiac compromise in cirrhosis has been well studied. The primary pathophysiology stems from portal hypertension, which is induced from an increased resistance to flow secondary to distorted sinusoidal architecture and is further sustained from an increase in portal venous flow.1 Portal hypertension induces both progressive splanchnic ...

No Association of Homocysteine, Anticardiolipin Antibody, and Anti-β2 Glycoprotein I Antibody With Portal Venous System Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhosis

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2021
Portal venous system thrombosis (PVST), a common complication of liver cirrhosis, is closely associated with thrombophilia. To explore the association of homocysteine (Hcy), anticardiolipin antibody (aCL), and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibody (aβ 2 GPI ...

Serum Mac-2-binding protein glycosylation isomer predicts esophagogastric varices in cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection treated with IFN-free direct-acting antiviral agent: M2BPGi levels predict varices in SVR patients

Annals of Hepatology, 2020
Introduction and objectives: We examined whether Mac-2-binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels could be a predictive marker for the presence of esophagogastric varices (EGV) in cirrhotic patients after hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication ...
