Hepatitis B Virus RNA Predicts Hepatocellular Carcinoma Despite Viral Suppression
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Serum HBV RNA levels at viral suppression predict HCC development in nucleos(t)ide analogue‐treated patients with chronic hepatitis B, outperforming Hepatitis B core‐related antigen alone. ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels with nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, patients with chronic hepatitis B ...

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.A PBUB is a rare but often fatal complication of endoscopic variceal band ligation. The relevant risk factors contributing to PBUB are unknown and consequently there are no effective preemptive strategies. This study highlights kidney disease as a predictor of PBUB together with the well‐established higher risk for urgent band ligation.

Barriers to Medical Care Are Frequently Reported by Patients With Cirrhosis
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In a telephone‐based survey study among > 1000 patients with cirrhosis, the most frequent barriers to care included time to travel to clinic, long wait times for appointments, and difficulty scheduling visits. Several barriers to care significantly differed by study site but were generally consistent across racial and ethnic subgroups.

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In this population‐based study in Alberta, Canada, evidence from RCTs led to a rapid reversal in pentoxifylline use, prior to formal guideline updates. Real‐world data support a modest short‐term benefit of CS and illustrate the potential of target trial emulation to assess treatment effectiveness in specific groups of patients. ABSTRACT Background and

Amino Acid Imbalance Is an Independent Factor for Mortality in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Amino acid imbalance, reflected by a low branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA)‐to‐tyrosine ratio (BTR), independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Both decreased serum BCAA and increased tyrosine levels are significant and independent prognostic markers.

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.
