Hypoxia due to intrapulmonary vascular dilatation in a toddler with a congenital portacaval shunt: case report

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background The term hepatopulmonary syndrome typically applies to cyanosis that results from “intrapulmonary vascular dilatation” due to advanced liver disease. Similar findings may result from a congenital portosystemic shunt without liver disease.

Indocyanine Green Clearance Correlates With Biomarkers Reflecting Key Disease‐Driving Mechanisms in Advanced Chronic Liver Disease and Predicts Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure and Death

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Indocyanine green clearance by pulse dye densitometry correlates with portal hypertension, systemic inflammation and circulatory dysfunction in advanced chronic liver disease. While diagnostic accuracy for CSPH was limited, ICG‐R15 independently predicted decompensation and ACLF/liver‐related mortality, highlighting its prognostic value across disease ...

Diabetes Mellitus is a Risk Factor for Hepatic Encephalopathy Following Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Diabetes mellitus independently increases the risk of hepatic encephalopathy following TIPS placement in patients with cirrhosis. These findings emphasize the need for careful risk assessment in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension complications undergoing TIPS.

Post‐Banding Ulcer Bleeding After Endoscopic Ligation: Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes in Patients With Cirrhosis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A PBUB is a rare but often fatal complication of endoscopic variceal band ligation. The relevant risk factors contributing to PBUB are unknown and consequently there are no effective preemptive strategies. This study highlights kidney disease as a predictor of PBUB together with the well‐established higher risk for urgent band ligation.
