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

Worsening of cerebral hyperemia by the administration of terlipressin in acute liver failure with severe hepatic encephalopathy

, 2004
There is increasing evidence that terlipressin is useful in patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome, but there are no data of its use in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) in whom hepatorenal syndrome is common.

Branched‐Chain Amino and Keto Acids Reduce Hepatocyte Lipid Droplet Size and Number via Distinct Proteomic Pathways

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) and their corresponding keto acids (BCKA) have been associated with changes in hepatic lipid metabolism and the resulting alterations in intracellular triglyceride concentrations. In this study, we utilized a previously established hepatocyte model to investigate the impact of BCAA and BCKA supplementation on ...

The Safety of Interferon‐Based Therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Compensatory Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
While nucleos(t)ide analog (Nuc) therapy is the standard for chronic hepatitis B, pegylated interferon‐alpha (Peg‐IFN‐α) provides unique advantages, including finite treatment duration and long‐term benefits. However, its use in patients with compensated cirrhosis remains limited due to persistent safety concerns about potential decompensation and ...

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
