Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

The Dynamic Evolution of Lipid Profiles Following Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Cirrhosis is frequently accompanied by varying degrees of lipid profile abnormalities. This study confirms that these profiles are differentially affected by disease etiology and progressively worsen—with significant reductions in TC, HDL‐C, and LDL‐C—as liver disease severity increases. TIPS improves lipid profiles, particularly by increasing HDL‐C in
