Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fenofibrate in Participants with Mild Hepatic Impairment or with Advanced Fibrosis due to Metabolic‐Associated Fatty Liver Disease

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fenofibrate is contraindicated in patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis due to limited clinical data. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of fenofibrate in participants with mild hepatic impairment (phase 1 study) or advanced fibrosis due to metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD; phase 2a study).

The incidence of portal vein thrombosis at liver transplantation [PDF]

, 1992
The incidence of portal vein thrombosis was examined in 885 patients who received orthotopic liver transplantations for various end‐stage liver diseases between 1989 and 1990. The thrombosis was classified into four grades.

Computer-aided hepatic tumour ablation [PDF]

Lecture notes in computer science (LNCS) 2208 (2001) 1145-1146, 2006
Surgical resection of hepatic tumours is not always possible. Alternative techniques consist in locally using chemical or physical agents to destroy the tumour and this may be performed percutaneously. It requires a precise localisation of the tumour placement during ablation.
