The coagulation changes associated with acute variceal bleeding in patients with HCV-induced cirrhosis as assessed by rotational thromboelastometry

Egyptian Liver Journal
Background and objectives Alterations of hemostasis in patients with decompensated cirrhosis are complex. Accordingly, standard coagulation tests are not feasible to evaluate bleeding risk in these patients.

Patterns of Acute Liver Injury and Post‐Acute Liver Sequelae of COVID‐19

Liver International Communications, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is known to cause acute liver injury (ALI) in COVID‐19 patients. This study explores the association between ALI patterns and the occurrence of long‐term hepatic complications in patients with and without existing chronic liver disease (CLD).

Recurrent Variceal Bleeding Due to Non-Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension in a Patient with Primary Myelofibrosis: Case Report

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding may arise from variceal or non-variceal sources. Primary myelofibrosis, classified as a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms, represents an uncommon clinically significant etiology of non-cirrhotic portal ...

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 260-268, September 2026.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

Endoscopic Treatment for Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure: An Observational Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 226-240, September 2026.
In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.

Pharmacologic prevention of variceal bleeding and rebleeding.

, 2018
BACKGROUND Variceal bleeding is a major complication of portal hypertension, which is associated with significant mortality. Moreover, patients surviving a variceal bleeding episode have very high risk of rebleeding, which is associated with mortality ...

A Case of Ileal Conduit Bleeding Caused by Porto‐Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 283-286, September 2026.
ABSTRACT A 60‐year‐old man presented with recurrent stomal bleeding for 3 years. He had undergone cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit diversion for bladder cancer 7 years prior. Endoscopy revealed multiple protruding lesions (0.6–0.8 cm) inside the stoma, which were initially suspected to be ectopic varices given concomitant esophageal varices and ...
