Longitudinal Study of Mitochondrial Hepatopathies

Acute Liver FailureMitochondrial Diseases4 more

The specific aims of this study are (1) to determine the clinical phenotypes and natural history of hepatic RC and FAO disorders, (2) to determine the correlation between genotype and phenotype, (3) to determine if circulating biomarkers reflect diagnosis and predict liver disease progression and survival with the native liver, (4) to determine the clinical outcome of these disorders following liver transplantation, and (5) to develop a repository of serum, plasma, urine, tissue and DNA specimens that will be used in ancillary studies. To accomplish these aims, the ChiLDREN investigators at clinical sites (currently 15 sites) will prospectively collect defined data and specimens in a uniform fashion at fixed intervals in a relatively large number of subjects. Clinical information and DNA samples to be collected from subjects and their parents will enhance the potential for meaningful research in these disorders. A biobank of subject specimens and DNA samples will be established for use in ancillary studies to be performed in addition to this study.

Liver Transplantation With Two-stage Liver Resection in Unresectable Liver Cancer , Metastases or...

Liver Transplant DisorderHepatic Cancer1 more

Colon cancer and primary liver cancer are common malignant tumors with low survival rate worldwide, and unresectable primary liver cancer and colon cancer liver metastases have worse prognosis. End-stage liver disease is equated with advanced liver disease, liver failure and decompensated cirrhosis because they are generally irreversible. Liver transplantation is a treatment option for the above-mentioned patients and is expected to improve the prognosis of the patients, but the biggest problem faced by such patients is the shortage of donor livers. Recently, a new surgical modality, resection and partial liver segment 2-3 transplantation with delayed total hepatectomy (RAPID), can greatly alleviate these problems.Based on clinical surgical experience, our center proposes and designs a clinical study of adjuvant liver transplantation combined with two-stage hepatectomy in the treatment of patients with unresectable primary liver cancer, colorectal cancer liver metastases, or end-stage liver disease. By improvement of RAPID operation, the safety and efficacy of this treatment method in patients with those disease were evaluated.

SALT in Adolescents With End-stage Liver Disease

End Stage Liver DIsease

End-stage liver disease is synonymous with advanced liver disease, liver failure, and decompensated cirrhosis, and their disease progression is generally irreversible. Unlike other end-stage diseases, liver transplantation is a definitive and potentially curative treatment for ESLD. However, due to clinical and social factors such as the shortage of donor livers, the number of patients who can be transplanted is far less than the number of waiting patients. About 14% of patients die each year while waiting, and about 10% of patients are too sick to be transplanted. Although changes in organ allocation policies and popularization of living donor liver transplantation have significantly reduced the waiting time and mortality of infant recipients under 2 years old. Pre-transplant mortality in children older than 6 years remains high. Therefore, expanding the donor liver pool is an urgent need to treat patients with adolescent end-stage liver disease (AESLD). In 2015, Norwegian scholars proposed a new surgical method, that is, resection and partial liver segment (2-3 segment) transplantation combined with delayed total hepatectomy can greatly alleviate the shortage of liver donors in the above patients.Based on the experience of clinical operation, our center proposes and designs the clinical research of sequential adolescent left lateral lobe liver transplantation (SALT) for the treatment of AESLD. On the basis of RAPID, the safety and efficacy of sequential juvenile left lateral lobe liver transplantation were evaluated for the above patients.

Prognosis of Patients With Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure

Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

Patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) have high short-term mortality. The use of a severity score could define the patient's prognosis. This study mainly prospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with chronic liver disease related acute liver failure admitted to the department of infectious diseases, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, to analyze the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease related acute on-chronic liver failure in Central South China. No additional interventions other than routine treatment will be added.

Real World Study of End-stage Liver Disease in China

End Stage Liver DIseaseComplication

The aims of this study are exploring the current situation of end-stage liver disease in China, and the optimization of diagnosis and treatment. Liver cirrhosis often accompanied by a series of complications. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and its complications. End-stage liver disease mainly refers to the late stage of liver disease caused by various chronic liver damage. Its main feature is that liver function can not meet the physiological needs of human body. This study is a single-center, prospective and observational real-world study aimed at investigating and analyzing the current diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease in China.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation for The Treatment of Acute-on-Chronic...

Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

This study is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) transplantation for the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). UC-MSC therapy may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with ACLF. The trial would provide scientific evidence for UC-MSC transplantation as a potential treatment for ACLF.

Role of Bilirubin Molecular Species in Hepatic Encephalopathy and Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure...

Hepatic EncephalopathyAcute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

It has been identified that impaired liver function, as occurs in patients with liver cirrhosis, prevents proper conjugation of glucuronic acid with bilirubin; as a result, unconjugated bilirubin accumulates in the blood, and conjugated bilirubin is markedly altered to form diglucuronides or monoglucuronides. However, in the development and progress of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) there is not enough information about these processes and the possible concentration levels that they can take. Also Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a reversible complication, but with a high mortality rate in patients with acute or chronic liver failure, as well as a consequence of the formation of portosystemic shunts.
