Prevalence of clinically significant Hepatopulmonary Syndrome among Patients with Chronic Liver Disease and Portal Hypertension

مجله كليه طب الكندي, 2011
Background : The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined as the triad of liver disease, arterial deoxygenation, and pulmonary vascular dilatation. The reported prevalence of HPS in cirrhotic patients varies between 5% -17.5%.Objective : To estimate ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Characteristics of ascitic fluid and diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis in malignant ascites: An observational study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial peritonitis in patients with malignant ascites (BP‐MA) is an understudied, high‐mortality condition. While ascitic polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell count ≥ 250 cells/mm3 defines the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis, an ascitic fluid parameter for the diagnosis of BP‐MA has not ...

Probiotics and intestinal permeability in adults with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis: A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is associated with altered intestinal permeability, allowing microbial products to translocate to the liver via the enterohepatic circulation and contributes to disease progression. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between probiotic supplementation and serum

The macrophage activation marker sCD163 combined with markers of the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) score predicts clinically significant portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive identification of significant portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is needed in hepatology practice.AIM: To investigate whether the combination of sCD163 as a hepatic inflammation marker and the fibrosis markers of the ...

Early discharge after paediatric liver biopsy: A prospective observational study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the safety of early discharge after percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) in children using prospective bleeding risk stratification. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study, paediatric patients scheduled for PLB were stratified into low‐ and high‐risk groups based on bleeding history and laboratory values.

Mid‐upper arm circumference, steatosis indices, and elastography for screening liver steatosis in children with overweight/obesity: A prospective cross‐sectional study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is common in children, and practical screening approaches are needed in populations with overweight/obesity. We aimed to evaluate mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) as a simple marker for ultrasonography (US)‐detected liver steatosis (LS) in children with overweight ...

Portal vein peak systolic velocity is a useful noninvasive predictor of high‐risk varices in biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Portal vein (PV) flow velocity is considered an indicator of portal hypertension. However, few studies have evaluated the predictive performance of PV flow velocity for high‐risk varices (HRV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). In this study, we evaluated the predictive performance of PV peak systolic velocity (PSV) for HRV in ...
