Extended Double Plasma Molecular Adsorption Sessions and Bilirubin Clearance: A Case Report

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The double plasma molecular adsorption system is an artificial‐liver treatment model combining the use of ion exchange resins and neutral microporous resins to remove toxins such as inflammatory cytokines without consuming large amounts of plasma and albumin. Given the relatively expensive consumables needed for Bilirubin adsorption,

Anti‐Integrin αvβ6 Autoantibodies as Diagnostic and Monitoring Biomarkers for Pediatric‐Onset Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Levels of anti‐integrin αvβ6 antibodies were significantly higher in pediatric‐onset primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) than in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and may reflect disease activity. These antibodies may serve as a novel biomarker for distinguishing PSC from AIH and for monitoring disease progression.

Histological AI‐Assisted Analysis Outperforms Pathologist Assessment in Predicting Disease Outcomes in PSC Patients

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Analyzing liver histology with AI assistance demonstrates superior prognostic performance compared to manual scoring in PSC. AI‐measured portal inflammation, fibrosis, biliary epithelium, and blood vessels predicted key clinical endpoints, such as liver transplantation due to end‐stage liver disease, highlighting the importance of liver histology as a ...
