Post‐to Pretreatment Ratio of Serum CXCL10 Level Predicts Short‐Term Liver Function Outcome in Compensated and Decompensated Cirrhotic Patients Due to Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection After Direct‐Acting Antiviral Therapy

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The post‐to pretreatment serum CXCL10 ratio was independently associated with short‐term liver function outcome following HCV eradication in cirrhotic patients. ABSTRACT Aim The prognostic value of serum C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) levels for liver function was investigated in hepatitis C virus (HCV)–infected patients with compensated or ...

Prognostic Value of an Early Response to Tolvaptan and Its Clinical Implications in Patients With Cirrhosis and Hepatic Edema: A Nationwide Multicenter Cohort Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a nationwide multicenter cohort, an early response to tolvaptan (≥ 1.5‐kg weight loss within 7 days) was independently associated with improved long‐term survival in patients with cirrhosis and hepatic edema. Early initiation before renal impairment or hyponatremia may optimize treatment response and prognosis. ABSTRACT Aim Hepatic edema indicates a

Impact of Treatment Response to Anticoagulant Therapy on Liver‐Related Events in Patients With Cirrhosis and Portal Vein Thrombosis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In patients with cirrhosis and a first portal vein thrombosis treated with intravenous anticoagulant therapy, the 3‐year cumulative rates of liver‐related events were 56.7% and 75.5% in the effective and ineffective groups, respectively. A good radiological response was associated with fewer liver‐related hospitalizations.
