Blood Collection Biorepository for Liver Disease Research

Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis(NASH)Hepatitis C7 more

The purpose of establishing a biorepository is to provide high quality specimens (serum, plasma, buffy coat and liver tissue) for future researchers who are studying the effects that fatty liver and viral diseases have on the liver.

Metabolic Pathology of Pediatric NAFLD

Nonalcoholic Fatty LiverNonalcoholic Steatohepatitis1 more

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the most common liver disease worldwide and affects nearly 40% of obese youth and up to 10% of the general pediatric population. Some features of NAFLD are similar in children and adults, yet fibrosis and inflammation are more common in the portal zone and occur earlier in pediatric NAFLD patients than adults. This portends a rapid progression to end-stage liver disease in early adulthood. For the majority of children with NAFLD, mechanisms driving the origin and rapid progression of disease remain unknown. Thus, there is a critical, unmet need to study the specific underlying patterns of metabolic and molecular changes in the liver underlying the development and progression unique to children with NAFLD. This proposal will test the hypotheses that children with NAFLD have excess glucose and lipid produced by the liver, that those events are regulated by specific variations in the amount and location of RNAs and proteins in liver, and that the concentration of specific micro-RNAs in the blood can be used as a biomarker for NAFLD in pediatric patients.

Prevalence of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Among Non-obese Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Using...

Sleep ApneaObstructive1 more

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are both common diseases related to metabolic diseases with potential cardiovascular consequences and liver complications respectively. Though studies show OSA may take part in the progression of hepatic steatosis, the independent contribution of OSA on liver fat accumulation is unknown. It is hypothesized that nocturnal intermittent hypoxia from OSA is the main driver of NAFLD in non-obese OSA patients. This study is to assess the effect of OSA on NAFLD in non-obese patients.

Effect of CoQ10 on the Outcome of MAFLD Patients

Fatty LiverNAFLD

So far there has been no universal treatment for MAFLD since it has a complex etiology that involves ethnic, genetic, metabolic and environmental factors. However, therapeutic life changes including: diet, weight loss, and physical activity remain the cornerstone of treatment and is recommended by both American and European associations. Inflammatory biomarkers, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and adipokines play key roles in the pathogenesis of MAFLD, hence, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of coenzyme Q10 especially at high doses that have not been tested are hypothesized to have a beneficial role in improving the systemic inflammation and biochemical variables. This study is conducted to test this hypothesis

Ultrasound Liver Fat Quantification on Pediatric Patients

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

This prospective study aims to recruit pediatric patients with confirmed or suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) / non-alcoholic steatosis hepatitis (NASH) and who are eligible for standard ultrasound and MRI examinations. All subjects will undergo a 2D ultrasound scan and MRI examination. Approximately 108 subjects will be enrolled, targeting at 90 completing the study.

Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease...

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseNon-alcoholic Steatohepatitis1 more

The goal of this observation study is to assess whether endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) may be a useful tool for liver fibrosis screening in patients with elevated body mass index and non alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to other non-invasive screening modalities, which have traditionally had less accurate results in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine accuracy of EUS-SWE for liver fibrosis screening compared to other non-invasive scoring systems, such as the FIB-4 score and Fibroscan in patients with elevated body mass index Establish optimal stiffness (kPa) cutoffs for liver fibrosis grading for EUS-SWE for this patient population in reference to the gold standard liver biopsy, as no standard cutoffs currently exist. Participants will undergo routine endoscopic ultrasound as part of their standard clinical care and indication. Participants are consented for the procedure and undergoing the shear wave elastography. In addition to their standard ultrasound test, it takes on average an extra 2-3 minutes to perform the shear wave elastography. The procedure itself adds no additional risk to the patient and does not expose them to radiation.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseNon-alcoholic Steatohepatitis2 more

Obesity and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus prevalence has doubled in the last 30 years and nearly one fifth of UAE population has Type 2 Diabetes while more than quarter has obesity. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is present in more than 30% of patients with type 2 diabetes and in > 50% patient with obesity 20% of patients with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progress to develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis which can lead to liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aims to use GLP-1 analogue to see effects on liver fat deposition after six months of treatment There is no current randomised study on treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in United Arab Emirates population; so once completed this will the first study. This study will pave the way for developing a treatment pathway for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
