Antibiotic Stewardship in Cirrhosis: Current Recommendations and Clinical Challenges
ABSTRACT Bacterial infections are a major cause of mortality in cirrhosis, with antibiotic prophylaxis and empirical treatment embedded in international guidelines. However, the prevalence of multidrug‐resistant organisms and the epidemiology of infections have shifted considerably in recent decades.

In the POISE open‐label extension, patients with primary biliary cholangitis with inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid received long‐term obeticholic acid (OCA) treatment. Findings demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the known characteristics of OCA, with no unexpected safety signals, while supporting sustained efficacy ...

Individualized assessment identifies patients with decompensated autoimmune hepatitis cirrhosis who are likely to benefit from a time‐limited trial of immunosuppression versus those requiring immediate liver transplant evaluation. Early objective response monitoring (bilirubin, MELD‐Na and AST/ALT) guides continuation of immunosuppression, promotes ...

We conducted a multicenter cohort study analyzed 454 Japanese PBC patients. Baseline LSM ≥ 8.0 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ΔLSM/year ≥ 2.1 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ABSTRACT Background & Aims Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is a ...

Liver cirrhosis is associated with altered glucocorticoid metabolism related to disease severity
Abstract Background Liver cirrhosis (LC) is frequently complicated by adrenal dysfunction; however, whether cirrhosis drives the coordinated, pathway‐specific reprogramming of cortisol metabolism remains unclear. Objectives We aimed to characterize axis‐specific alterations in cortisol metabolism in patients with LC, those with adrenal insufficiency ...

ABSTRACT Background & Aim Sustained‐virological‐response (SVR) after direct‐acting‐antiviral (DAA) therapy improves outcomes in patients with HCV‐related compensated‐advanced‐chronic‐liver‐disease (cACLD). However, it remains unclear whether absolute post‐SVR LSM or LSM reduction better predicts prognosis after SVR.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Assessing liver congestion and portal hypertension (PHT) in Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) remains challenging. We evaluated liver and spleen stiffness measurements (LSM, SSM) obtained by transient elastography as non‐invasive tools for identifying clinically meaningful liver congestion in BCS.

Management of varices and variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis
Variceal hemorrhage is a lethal complication of cirrhosis, particularly in patients in whom clinical decompensation (i.e., ascites, encephalopathy, a previous episode of hemorrhage, or jaundice) has already developed.

An Automated Microfluidic System for Haemostasis Assessment in Cirrhosis With Thrombocytopenia
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Conventional laboratory tests do not capture platelet–vessel wall interactions (primary haemostasis) occurring in vivo, limiting guidance before invasive procedures. This is relevant in patients with thrombocytopenia, hallmark of advanced cirrhosis. Microfluidic assays may overcome these limitations.
