Liver cirrhosis in England--an observational study: are we measuring its burden occurrence correctly? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: Mortality due to liver disease (of which cirrhosis is the end‐stage) is increasing more than any other chronic condition in the UK. This study aims to demonstrate that (i) exclusive reliance on mortality rates may not reveal the true burden ...

Predictive model of in-hospital mortality in liver cirrhosis patients with hyponatremia: an artificial neural network approach

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hyponatremia can worsen the outcomes of patients with liver cirrhosis. However, it remains unclear about how to predict the risk of death in cirrhotic patients with hyponatremia. Patients with liver cirrhosis and hyponatremia were screened.

Therapeutic effects of serum extracellular vesicles in liver fibrosis

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018
The lack of approved therapies for hepatic fibrosis seriously limits medical management of patients with chronic liver disease. Since extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as conduits for intercellular molecular transfer, we investigated if EVs from ...

A Joint Deep Learning Approach for Automated Liver and Tumor Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults, and the most common cause of death of people suffering from cirrhosis. The segmentation of liver lesions in CT images allows assessment of tumor load, treatment planning, prognosis and monitoring of treatment response.

Neuropsychiatric performance and treatment of hepatitis C with direct-acting antivirals: a prospective study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Since direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have been approved for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, a small series of patients with new-onset neuropsychiatric alterations have been referred to us.

Cancer and liver cirrhosis: implications on prognosis and management

open access: yesESMO Open, 2016
Liver cirrhosis, the end-stage of every chronic liver disease, is not only the major risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma but also a limiting factor for anticancer therapy of liver and non-hepatic malignancies.

Transient portal vein thrombosis in liver cirrhosis

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2018
In real-world clinical practice, the acceptance of anticoagulation therapy in the management of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with cirrhosis is limited by the fear of an increased bleeding risk.

Insertion of LINE-1 Retrotransposon Inducing Exon Inversion Causes a Rotor Syndrome Phenotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Rotor syndrome, a rare autosomal-recessive genetic disorder characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in both SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 genes.

A Circulating Biomarker-based Framework for Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Clinically Relevant Model of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis; An OAD to NASH [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Although cirrhosis is a key risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mounting evidence indicates that in a subset of patients presenting with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), HCC manifests in the absence of cirrhosis. Given the sheer size of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) epidemic, and the dismal prognosis ...

Intrarenal Resistance Index as a Prognostic Parameter in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis Compared with Other Hepatic Scoring Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and Aims: Patients with advanced liver cirrhosis who develop renal dysfunction have a poor prognosis. Elevated intrarenal resistance indices (RIs) due to renal vascular constriction have been described before in cirrhotic patients.
