Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension due to Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia Treated with Surgical Portacaval Shunt [PDF]
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is an uncommon condition, but an important cause of noncirrhotic intrahepatic portal hypertension (NCIPH), characterized by micronodules of regenerative hepatocytes throughout the liver without intervening fibrous ...

Prognostic tools for survival prediction and risk stratification after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement. Abstract Patient prognosis after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is relatively poor and highly heterogeneous; therefore, a prognostic scoring system is essential for survival prediction and risk ...

Patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis may be converted to liver transplantation candidacy following portal vein recanalization‐transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR‐TIPS). Long‐term survival outcomes of patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis who undergo transplantation following PVR‐TIPS are similar

Abstract Acalabrutinib received approval for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received at least 1 prior therapy and adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. This study investigated the impact of hepatic impairment (HI) on acalabrutinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety at a single 50‐mg

Abstract This phase I open‐label trial (NCT03627754) assessed glasdegib pharmacokinetics and safety in otherwise healthy participants with moderate (Child‐Pugh B) or severe (Child‐Pugh C) hepatic impairment. Participants with hepatic impairment and age/weight‐matched controls with normal hepatic function received a single oral 100‐mg glasdegib dose ...
