Plasma Adsorption Perfusion (BR‐350) Versus Open Albumin Dialysis (OPAL) for Hyperbilirubinemia in Hepatic Failure in Cirrhotic Patients

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The therapy with PAP using BR‐350 resulted in a significant decrease of bilirubin concentrations. The median relative reduction of bilirubin was comparable between PAP and OPAL (47% vs. 40%, p = 0.29). The crossover comparison between the single session of PAP using BR‐350 and OPAL revealed similar relative reduction rates of bilirubin.

Impact of Evolving Evidence on Pharmacological Therapy for Alcohol‐Associated Hepatitis in Alberta: A Population‐Based Study of Practice Trends and MELD‐Stratified Effectiveness of Corticosteroids

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In this population‐based study in Alberta, Canada, evidence from RCTs led to a rapid reversal in pentoxifylline use, prior to formal guideline updates. Real‐world data support a modest short‐term benefit of CS and illustrate the potential of target trial emulation to assess treatment effectiveness in specific groups of patients. ABSTRACT Background and

Amino Acid Imbalance Is an Independent Factor for Mortality in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Amino acid imbalance, reflected by a low branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA)‐to‐tyrosine ratio (BTR), independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Both decreased serum BCAA and increased tyrosine levels are significant and independent prognostic markers.

The Alpha‐1 Pi*MZ Genotype Is an Independent Risk Factor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development in Patients With ACLD

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.
