Background Liver cirrhosis is a major healthcare problem and the mortality rate is high. During recent years, systemic inflammation has been recognized as a major driver of hepatic decompensation and progression of liver cirrhosis to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). The aim of the CYTOHEP study is to assess the impact of extracorporeal hemoad...

Magnetic resonance T1 mapping before and after Gd-EOB-DTPA administration allows quantification of the T1 reduction rate as a non-invasive surrogate marker of liver function. A major limitation of T1 relaxation time measurement is its dependency on MRI field strengths. Since T1 reduction rate is calculated as the relative shortening of T1 relaxatio...

BACKGROUND Acute non-variceal bleeding accounts for approximately 20% of all-cause bleeding episodes in patients with liver cirrhosis. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality therefore prompt diagnosis and endoscopic management are crucial. AIM To evaluate available data on the efficacy of endoscopic treatment modalities used to control ...

Background The natural history and incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arising from indeterminate liver lesions are not well described. We aimed to define the incidence of HCC in a cohort of patients undergoing surveillance by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and estimate any associations with incident HCC. Methods We performed a retrospect...

Sarcopenia is thought to be related to the microbiome, but not enough reports in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. In addition to the differences in microbiome, the role of the microbiome in the gut is also important to be clarified because it has recently been shown that the microbiome may produce branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the body...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health issue with several unsolved clinical challenges. As multiple new drugs are under development, HBV markers are gaining importance for both diagnostic and prognostic purposes. This review summarizes the most important data on the usefulness of HBV markers in the natural history of this infec...
