Systematic review and meta-analysis of thrombocytopenia as a predictor of post-hepatectomy liver failure [PDF]
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether thrombocytopenia constituted a risk factor for post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception until February the 17th, 2018 for studies reporting cases of PHLF in patients with and without thrombocytopenia (defined as a platelet count below 100 or ...

Optical Biomedical Imaging Reveals Criteria for Violated Liver Regenerative Potential
To reduce the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure in patients with hepatic pathologies, it is necessary to develop an approach to express the intraoperative assessment of the liver’s regenerative potential.

Microbiota and bile acid profiles in retinoic acid-primed mice that exhibit accelerated liver regeneration. [PDF]
Background & aimsAll-trans Retinoic acid (RA) regulates hepatic lipid and bile acid homeostasis. Similar to bile acid (BA), RA accelerates partial hepatectomy (PHx)-induced liver regeneration.

Hepatectomy risk assessment with functional magnetic resonance imaging (HEPARIM)
Background Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains a significant risk in patients undergoing curative liver resection for cancer, however currently available PHLF risk prediction investigations are not sufficiently accurate.

Prediction of small for size syndrome after extended hepatectomy: Tissue characterization by relaxometry, diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging and magnetization transfer. [PDF]
This study aimed to monitor the course of liver regeneration by multiparametric magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) after partial liver resection characterizing Small-for-Size Syndrome (SFSS), which frequently leads to fatal post-hepatectomy liver failure ...

Post hepatectomy liver failure – A comprehensive review of current concepts and controversies
Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) comprises of a conundrum of symptoms and signs following major hepatic resections. The pathophysiology essentially revolves around disruption of the normal hepatocyte regeneration and disturbed liver homeostasis. Prompt identification of the pre-operative predictors of PHLF in the form of biochemical parameters and
