Cisterna Chyli Dilation Is a Risk Factor for Liver Nodules and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease: Pathophysiological Role of Lymphatic Dysfunction

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD), chronic congestion often confounds conventional fibrosis markers, complicating surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although lymphatic dysfunction is fundamental to Fontan physiology, its contribution to hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear.

Prevalence of Occult Hepatitis B Infection Among Blood Donors with HBsAg Negative and HBcAb Positive by Real Time PCR in South of Iran

Armaghane Danesh Bimonthly Journal, 2021
Background & aim: Occult hepatitis B virus infection in blood donors threats the safety of the blood supply.  It is characterized by detection of low viral DNA in the serum subjects who have negative test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).

Alcohol‐Associated Pancreatitis Confers Higher Risk of Advanced Liver Disease Than Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Alcohol‐associated liver disease frequently presents late as decompensated cirrhosis, representing a missed opportunity for intervention. Extrahepatic alcohol‐related presentations requiring acute care, such as alcohol‐associated pancreatitis and alcohol withdrawal syndrome, may identify heavy drinkers at varying risk for ...

Periodontitis and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic effects that extend beyond the oral cavity and contribute to systemic immune and metabolic dysregulation. Chronic liver diseases, particularly metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progressive phenotypes, have emerged as major global ...

Hepatitis B in Organ Transplantation—Current Evidence and Clinical Gaps

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past several decades there have been significant advances in nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) antiviral therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and global expansion of primary prevention through immunization. Despite this, HBV remains a leading cause of chronic liver disease globally, affecting over 250 million people.

Occult hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinoma

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2014
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) is a challenging pathobiological and clinical issue that has been widely debated for several decades. By definition, OBI is characterized by the persistence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue (and in some cases also in the serum) in the absence of circulating HBV surface antigen (HBsAg).

Hepatitis B virus infection with high HBsAg and undetectable DNA levels in untreated blood donors: Viral mechanisms and transfusion safety implications

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood donor screening occasionally identifies individuals with high HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) levels despite undetectable or extremely low HBV DNA. Molecular basis and transfusion risk of this discordant profile remain unclear. Study Design and Methods Seventy‐five blood donors with HBsAg >100 IU/mL and undetectable or very low ...
