Neurofilament Light Chains in Serum Predict Post-Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Hepatic Encephalopathy. [PDF]

MedComm (2020)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion constitutes a frequent and severe complication, however, biomarkers are currently scarce. The results of this study indicate that neurofilament light chains (NfL) in serum, but not glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), is a useful biomarker identifying ...

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

Sonographic evaluation of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2013
The purpose of this article is to review the role of sonography before, during and after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement. A sonographic assessment of the liver and abdomen is recommended before the procedure. We illustrate several

TIPS for the treatment of refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic hydrothorax: a critical update [PDF]

, 2010
Refractory ascites is a frequent complication of advanced cirrhosis and is associated with hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic hydrothorax. Large volume paracentesis and pleurodesis are regarded as first-line treatments in patients who do not respond ...

Improved quality of life in patients with refractory or recidivant ascites after insertion of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts [PDF]

, 2002
Background. We have recently shown that the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is more effective than paracentesis in the treatment of cirrhotic patients with severe ascites and can prolong survival in selected patients.

Balloon-occluded antegrade transvenous obliteration via transjugular intrahepatic access for bleeding rectal varices

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Bleeding rectal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension can be difficult to treat endoscopically or surgically. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation offers a minimally invasive method to effectively decompress the portal ...
