The impact of immature granulocytes on the outcome of patients with decompensated cirrhosis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Immature granulocyte (IG) count and percentage had a predictive role in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, making them an objective and easily available marker of prognosis for this group of patients. In addition, IG percentage was the only factor independently associated with transplant‐free survival.

Evaluation of diagnostic criteria for mild‐to‐advanced stages of Fontan‐associated liver disease: A nationwide epidemiological survey in Japan

Hepatology Research, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 611-621, April 2025.
Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD) is a frequent complication after Fontan surgery. Data from 1168 Fontan patients, including blood tests, imaging, and pathology, from high‐volume centers across Japan were used to develop diagnostic criteria for FALD and advanced FALD. The proposed diagnostic criteria accurately identified FALD in 86.8% of patients,

Effectiveness and safety of antithrombin for treatment of portal vein thrombosis: Nationwide prospective surveillance of 4 years of clinical experience in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Antithrombin (AT), a plasma protein with anticoagulant properties, has a long‐standing medical history, primarily for treatment of congenital AT deficiency. Accumulated clinical experiences suggest AT is a potential anticoagulant for thrombotic diseases. This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness, safety, and clinical significance of AT

Validation of PBC‐10 in Japanese patients with primary biliary cholangitis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
This study validates the Japanese version of the PBC‐10, a short‐form health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) assessment tool for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The findings confirm its reliability and strong correlation with the PBC‐40, supporting its use for rapid clinical screening of HRQOL impairments in Japanese patients. Abstract

Genetic analysis of the correlation between GLP1 action and metabolic liver disease: Insights from Mendelian randomization analysis

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Our study provides genetic analysis supporting the beneficial effects of GLP1 action on MASLD. These benefits may be attributed to mechanisms such as lowering blood glucose levels, reducing blood pressure, and improving HDL cholesterol levels. ABSTRACT Purpose Previous studies have shown that glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists may help ...
