Contrast‐Enhanced Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Useful for Surveying Gastroesophageal Varices in Patients After Fontan Surgery

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) following Fontan surgery (FS) could not be predicted by blood biochemical indices and other clinical factors, and contrast‐enhanced CT or MRI can be useful for surveying GEVs in patients following FS. ABSTRACT Objectives Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a common complication of Fontan surgery (FS) because of the ...

Elevation of Immunoglobulin Free Light Chain and BAFF Levels Associated With Immune Activation Predicts Survival Rates in Chronic Liver Disease

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Elevated serum free light chain (FLC) and B‐cell activating factor (BAFF) levels have been reported to be associated with B‐cell activation and to serve as biomarkers reflecting disease severity in various diseases. However, limited investigation has been conducted in the context of chronic liver disease (CLD), and the aim of this study ...

Hyperuricaemia in type 1 Gaucher disease: is uric acid a biomarker for disease severity?

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels were observed in Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) patients followed for two decades in northern Israel. There are no previous reports regarding hyperuricaemia in GD1 patients. Aims We aimed to evaluate the frequency of hyperuricaemia in GD1 patients and its correlation to disease severity ...
