Sepsis in cirrhosis: report on the 7th meeting of the International Ascites Club [PDF]

, 2005
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to the presence of infection, mediated via the production of many cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1, which cause changes in the circulation ...

Liver stiffness measurement, Doppler ultrasound, and serum non-invasive markers as predictors of varices and variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients

Egyptian Liver Journal
Background and aims Variceal bleeding is a life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis, necessitating reliable non-invasive predictors to minimize the use of the more invasive esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Portal vein peak systolic velocity is a useful noninvasive predictor of high‐risk varices in biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Portal vein (PV) flow velocity is considered an indicator of portal hypertension. However, few studies have evaluated the predictive performance of PV flow velocity for high‐risk varices (HRV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). In this study, we evaluated the predictive performance of PV peak systolic velocity (PSV) for HRV in ...

Successful hemostasis of intractable rectal variceal bleeding using variceal embolization [PDF]

, 2015
Portal hypertension causes portosystemic shunting along the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in gastrointestinal varices. Rectal varices and their bleeding is a rare complication, but it can be fatal without appropriate treatment.
