Baseline and Longitudinal Liver Stiffness Measurement Predict Outcomes in Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Multicenter Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
We conducted a multicenter cohort study analyzed 454 Japanese PBC patients. Baseline LSM ≥ 8.0 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ΔLSM/year ≥ 2.1 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ABSTRACT Background & Aims Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is a ...

Recombinant ADAMTS13 Ameliorates Liver Injury and Improves Hepatic Microcirculation in a Murine Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure Model

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The therapeutic significance of recombinant a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (rADAMTS13) in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of rADAMTS13 in a murine model of ACLF‐like liver injury.

Validation of the Baveno Endoscopy Avoidance Criteria in Japanese Patients With Chronic Liver Disease: A Real‐World Cohort Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Many patients with chronic liver disease can safely avoid unnecessary screening endoscopy using the Baveno VII criteria. We developed a simple three‐factor score to identify patients at high risk of serious esophageal varices. Using both approaches together may improve the efficiency and safety of endoscopic screening.

Comparative Evaluation of A4C, CHAMPS, and CAGIB Scores for Risk Stratification in Hemodialysis Patients with Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in hemodialysis (HD) patients carries substantial mortality risk. The A4C and CHAMPS scores are novel risk stratification tools, while CAGIB was developed for cirrhosis-associated GIB.
