Using the Non Invasive Technology Magnetic Resonance Elastography for the Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis...
Liver DiseasesThis study evaluates the ability of Magnetic Resonance Elastography non invasive technology to identify the liver fibrosis stage in patients with chronic liver diseases compared to Shear Wave Elastography and/or Liver Biopsy.
Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Undernutrition in Patients With Cirrhosis and Abdominal Hernia
CirrhosisSarcopenia3 moreThe study evaluates whether sarcopenia influences the prevalence of abdominal hernias in patients with cirrhosis.
Assessing Kids for Liver Inflammation and Fibrosis Using Non-invasive MRI
Non-alcoholic SteatohepatitisLiver Diseases3 moreThis is a prospective observational study which will recruit up to 100 paediatric participants over a period of 30 months to determine whether MRI is as accurate at detecting, distinguishing, and monitoring liver disease as current standard of care techniques such as liver biopsy and fibroscan.
Quantification of Hepatic Fibrosis by IVIM Sequences in 1.5T MRI
Liver FibrosisMRI2 moreQuantification of hepatic fibrosis by IVIM sequences in 1.5T MRI.
Mortality, Morbidity and Risk Factors of Liver Retransplantation
Liver Transplant; ComplicationsLiver Transplant Rejection5 moreThis study aims to compare the short and long term outcomes of living donor and deceased donor liver retransplantation. Bearing that in mind, the investigators will retrospectively analyze the files of patients whom underwent a liver retransplantation in Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital Organ Transplantation Center.
The Role of Immune Semaphorins in NAFLD
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseImmune Response3 moreTo goal is to identify semaphorins that are associated with NAFLD and to investigate their relationship with variable degrees of steatosis and fibrosis.
Timing of Endoscopy for Acute Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Cirrhosis
CirrhosisLiver2 moreCirrhotic patients with AVB across 34 university medical centers in 30 cities in China from February 2013 to May 2020 who underwent endoscopy within 24 hours were included in this study. Patients were divided into an urgent endoscopy group (endoscopy <6h after admission) and an early endoscopy group (endoscopy 6-24h after admission). Outcomes included the incidence of 5-day rebleeding, in-hospital mortality, need for intensive care unit (ICU) and the length of hospital stay after the endoscopy management. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify risk factors for rebleeding. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to achieve a balance at baseline between the urgent and early groups.
Competitive Accuracy of Radiological Imaging Compared to Liver Biopsy in Patients With Liver Fibrosis...
Liver FibrosesLiver CirrhosisThe study "Competitive Accuracy of Radiological Imaging Compared to Liver Biopsy in Patients With Liver Fibrosis" is designed to test the accuracy of non-interventional radiological imaging and compare its results with the "gold standard" liver biopsy. This is prospective non-randomized single patient group study.
Global Coagulation Assessment in Cirrhosis and ACLF
Acute-On-Chronic Liver FailureCirrhosis1 moreBackground: Patients with cirrhosis and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) may have bleeding complications which can lead to increased mortality. Standard coagulation tests (SCTs) like prothrombin time, platelet count and activated partial thromboplastin do not accurately depict in vivo coagulation profile. Point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation testing devices like thrombo-elastography (TEG) and Sonoclot may be better for guiding patient management. Methods: This prospective observational study compared and validated the point of care (POC) tests and SCTs in 70, 72 and 25 persons with ACLF, decompensated cirrhosis and healthy controls respectively.
Replicor Compassionate Access Program
Viral Hepatitis BViral Hepatitis D7 moreThe goal of this compassionate access program is to provide early access to REP 2139-Mg for patients with HBV mono-infection or HBV / HDV co-infection who either have advanced (decompensated) cirrhosis or who have failed to response to other other antiviral agents either approved or under development and who are in danger of progressing to decompensated cirrhosis. This compassionate access program will provide access to a once weekly regimen of subcutaneously (SC) administered REP 2139-Mg for a period of 48 weeks with the goal of achieving functional cure of HDV and or HBV, with the reversal of liver disease in the absence of antiviral therapy. The safety, tolerability and efficacy of SC REP 2139-Mg will be monitored during and after therapy
