Clinical Features of Portal Hypertension and Their Prognostic Implications in Patients With Autoimmune Hepatitis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Features of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in patients with autoimmune hepatitis indicate a substantial risk for decompensation and impaired transplant‐free survival. Non‐invasive risk prediction based on liver stiffness measurement ≥ 15 kPa and/or thrombocytopenia (< 150 G/L) serves as a valuable surrogate to identify patients at ...

Platelet Count to Spleen Diameter Ratio for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Varices in Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesGastroenterology Research and Practice, 2017
Platelet count to spleen diameter ratio (PSR) was studied extensively as a noninvasive method of diagnosis for varices. The present study aimed to systematically assess the performance of PSR in the diagnosis of varices.

Research Communication: The Cumulated Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts (SPSS) Area Decreases After TIPS and Impacts on Prognosis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This study shows that both the total SPSS area and the cumulative SPSS diameter decrease significantly and persistently after TIPS placement, whereas the total shunt diameter increases slightly and the total shunt area remains stable. The relative change in SPSS area serves as an independent predictor of mortality. ABSTRACT We evaluated the dynamics of

Alterations in Gut Microbiota and Metabolism in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: Implications for Disease Progression

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In‐depth multiomics analyses revealed that the gut microbiota in patients with CPH is dysbiotic. Altered gut microbiota plays an important role in the progression of CPH and affects the host's arginine metabolism to promote arginine biosynthesis. The pro‐inflammatory effects of certain gut bacteria induce iNOS expression, which together act on the ...

Biomarkers of Extracellular Matrix Remodelling Are Linked to Severity and Outcome of Advanced Chronic Liver Disease

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling biomarkers reflect portal hypertension and disease severity in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). However, their predictive value for disease progression is largely restricted to compensated ACLD (cACLD). ABSTRACT Background Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is ...

Nutritional Deficiencies Following Bariatric Surgery: A Rapid Systematic Review of Case Reports of Vitamin and Micronutrient Deficiencies Presenting More Than Two Years Post‐Surgery

open access: yesClinical Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery is the most clinically‐ and cost‐effective intervention for severe obesity. However, without adequate follow‐up, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Patients require life‐long nutritional supplements and follow‐up to prevent nutritional deficiencies from developing.
