Liver Function and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

Diabetes, 2019
Liver dysfunction and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are consistently associated. However, it is currently unknown whether liver dysfunction contributes to, results from, or is merely correlated with T2D due to confounding.

Indocyanine green clearance test to evaluate liver function in rat model of extrahepatic biliary atresia

African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, 2018
Background: Indocyanine green clearance test (ICG-K) has been shown as a sensitive marker of liver function in patients with cirrhosis. However, its role in the assessment of liver function in children with biliary atresia is not well established.

Impaired albumin function: a novel potential indicator for liver function damage?

Annals medicus, 2019
Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein and albumin infusion is commonly used. Conventionally, the biologic and therapeutic effects of albumin have been thought to be due to its oncotic properties. However, albumin has a variety of biologic functions,

Liver function changes after transarterial chemoembolization in US hepatocellular carcinoma patients: the LiverT study

BMC Cancer, 2019
The real-world incidence of chronic liver damage after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is unclear. LiverT, a retrospective, observational study, assessed liver function deterioration after a single TACE in real-world hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
