Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

Children with clinically diagnosed leukemia may experience occult HBV infection after chemotherapy immunosuppressive therapy, which may affect the normal course of leukemia treatment. However, this is not caused by clinically relevant diagnosis and treatment measures but exists in vivo.

Hepatitis c associated glomerulonephritis is an immune complex disease that occurs in 21% of patients who have HCV infection.

This study was a clinical observational cohort study of two-way, non-intervention long-term dynamic follow-up. Enrolled in the Department of Liver Diseases, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, with interferon combined with ribavirin (PR) antiviral therapy (PR treatment greater than or equal to 6 months) and/or direct acting antivirals (DAAs) In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the baseline, antiviral treatment and withdrawal follow-up data before the antiviral treatment were collected, and the patients were followed up for 3-6 months. Clinical data such as clinical biochemistry, HCV RNA and serological markers (anti-HCV), AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected during the study period. At least 144 weeks of observation on the virological response and clinical outcome of anti-viral treatment of chronic hepatitis C, the main evaluation index of liver cancer and decompensated liver cirrhosis after stopping the drug, and exploring the antiviral treatment of patients Long-term virological response and clinical outcomes, clarifying their influencing factors.

The aim of CELINE is to retrieve and re-evaluate lost to follow-up chronic hepatitis C patients in the Netherlands.

In this project proposal, the investigators will investigate the genetic alterations of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) strains circulating in Belgian patients who developed end stage liver disease. Additionally, the investigators will compare and link these data sets with three genetic factors involved in immune system response.

An prospective / retrospective multicenter observational study whose objectives are to understand the interactions between hepatitis c virus and Non Hodgkin lymphomas. The characteristics , evolution and treatment of diseases will be observed from the study.

More recent studies have shown that the HBV-infected population has a greater risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Nevertheless, there are still a significant number of people chronically infected by HBV who do not develop the complication. Hence, there exist biological markers that could be indicator for the disease-inducing and carcinogenic potential of the virus.

In South America, the prevalence of HBV is variable but high (> 8%) in the Amazon basin. In some areas, a third of HBsAg carriers are also infected with HDV, a major comorbidity factor. The pre-core mutations are associated with the negative HBe Ag phenotype which is associated with a more severe course. These mutations are of increasing and high frequency. French Guiana is populated by populations of African, European and Asian origins with chains of viral transmission which are not known and viruses probably of different origins with variable virulence and transmission potentials.

Granulomatous hepatitis are histopathologically defined by the presence of epithelioid and gigantocellular granulomas within the hepatic parenchyma. Hepatic granulomas are observed in 2 to 15% of liver biopsies. Causes of granulomatous hepatitis can be related to ethnic and environmental factors and in western countries granulomatous hepatitis are mostly related to sarcoidosis and autoimmune cholangitis. Infections (mycobacteria, coxiella burnetii, hepatitis C) and medications also provide granulomatous hepatitis. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology, which in third of cases has a chronic course. Five percent of patients die of their disease, mainly because of respiratory distress. Hepatic involvement is most often asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic (moderate cholestasis and conglomerates of granulomas visible on imaging). More rarely, it can cause portal hypertension and its complications and be life-threatening. The aim of the Lyon Hepatitis Granulomatous (LHG) study is to better characterize granulomatous hepatitis and within these, severe hepatic sarcoidosis. This is a retrospective study conducted from January 2008 to December 2016 proposed to all patients with granulomatous hepatitis followed in the internal medicine and / or Hepato-gastroenterology departments (Croix-Rousse Hospital, Edouard-Herriot Hospital, Lyon Sud Hospital Center). This study will cover 596 patients who had a liver biopsy showing granulomas. The main objectives of the Lyon Hepatitis Granulomatous (LHG) study are to analyze i) the etiology of the disease and the contribution of molecular biology for infectious etiologies, ii) the contribution of nuclear imaging for sarcoidosis diagnosis versus conventional imaging, iii) treatment used and prognosis. This study will permit a better characterization of granulomatous hepatitis, and liver sarcoidosis in terms of prognosis as well as therapeutic management.

This was a retrospective observational cohort study. The patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis who were treated with antiviral therapy in the Second Department of Liver Disease, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2008 to April 2020 were enrolled. Patients treated with antiviral drugs including interferon and/or nucleoside (acid) analogues lasting more than 6 months were included in the study. Interferon, nucleoside (acid) analogue monotherapy, combination therapy, sequential therapy, maintenance therapy and drug withdrawal therapy can all be included in the study. HBV DNA content, HBsAg/anti-HBs, HBeAg/anti-HBe, biochemical indexes, serum AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected before treatment (baseline), during treatment and after treatment. The virological response and clinical outcome after antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B were observed for at least 288 weeks, and the main evaluation indicators were the occurrence or reversal of cirrhosis complications, hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality. Secondary evaluation index: the influence factors of different clinical outcomes. To investigate the long-term virological response and clinical outcome of antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis and to clarify its influencing factors.
