Prospective Cohort Study of Association of Insulin Resistance/Steatosis With Hepatic Fibrosis in...
Chronic Hepatitis BHepatic Fibrosis1 moreHepatic steatosis and insulin resistance are associated with severity of fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic hepatitis C. However, clinical significance of steatosis and insulin resistance on fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is not well established. The aim was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, and fibrosis in patients with CHB.
Evaluation of Chronic HBV Patients w/Evidence of HBV Replication and Normal or Minimally Elevated...
Chronic Hepatitis BTo determine whether HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients with HBV DNA greater than or less than 5 log10 and 4 log10 copies/mL, respectively, and with normal or minimally elevated liver transaminases have histological evidence of active liver disease.
Hepatocyte-specific Versus Extracellular Contrast Agents for Liver MRI: Prospective, Intra-individual...
Chronic HepatitisLiver CirrhosisAdult patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis of any etiology who are found to have suspected liver cancer are potentially eligible for the study. All enrolled patients will undergo two MRI scans using two different contrast agents. The type of contrast agent for the 1st MRI will be performed using hepatocyte-specific contrast agent. The participant will undergo the 2nd MRI using extracellular contrast agent. The MRI examinations will be independently interpreted by two different radiologists. The radiologists will evaluate focal hepatic lesions and categorize them according to the LI-RADS v2018 and EASL 2018. Once the diagnosis is made, the participants will be provided with the standard of care. After the initial treatment, the participants will be followed up with multi-phasic dynamic contrast-enhanced CT every 3 or 6 months for at least 2 years. Based on the prospectively written radiology reports, the diagnostic performances will be calculated and compared between MRI with hepatocyte-specific contrast agent and MRI with extracellular contrast agent, using the pathology and clinical criteria as the reference standard.

Chronic Hepatitis BThe purpose of this early access protocol is to provide access to adefovir dipivoxil prior to its commercial availability to people with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B who have limited treatment options.
A Multicenter Treatment Protocol of Daclatasvir (BMS-790052) in Combination With Sofosbuvir for...
Chronic Hepatitis CThe primary objective of this program is to provide DCV for 24 weeks to be given in combination with SOF to subjects with chronic hepatitis C with decompensated cirrhosis or post-liver transplant subjects with chronic hepatitis C recurrence with either advanced fibrosis or fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis and who have a serious or immediately life-threatening condition or experienced an event that has decreased their life expectancy to <12 months, therefore, no research hypothesis will be tested and no specific endpoints are defined. However, safety data will be collected throughout the study as well as efficacy data

Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)This is an observational, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter, real-life study designed to observe the impact of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with dasabuvir regimen (Viekirax®/Exviera®, 3D regimen) on total daytime physical activity and fatigue in participants with HCV GT1.
'Fibrosis in the Lost Hepatitis C Population - Track, Trace and Treat'
Chronic Hepatitis cObjective: To coordinate active tracing of chronic hepatitis C patients lost to follow-up to inform them about there disease severity and treatment options. Study design: This is a prospective cohort study, which will start as a pilot study in the Radboudumc Population: lost to follow-up chronic hepatitis C patients in the region Nijmegen. This so-called lost population consists of all patients, that in the past have been identified at the Radboudumc but who are currently lost to or have been withdrawn from follow-up. The time-span of interest will be 2000-2015. We estimate that this project will retrace 100 lost patients through this search.
Treatment on HBeAg Positive or HBeAg Negative in Chronic Hepatitis B
CHRONIC HEPATITIS BPhyllanthus Urinaria - Adenosma Glutinosum - Eclipta Prostrata - Ascorbic Acid combination plus Tenofovir in treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B. Method the combination of drugs derived from natural and artificial medicaments. Has stronger effect on immune system, effective good against HBV replication. This is a substantial new insight into the pathogenesis of disease, with a clear path toward clinical application, or which would lead to a substantial advance and perfect in management or public health policy.
