Natural History of Advanced Chronic Liver Diseases
This is a retrospective-prospective registry cohort study. Patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) will be prospectively invited to this study. The study follow-up duration will be 10 years. The primary outcome is incident hepatic events and liver-related mortality. Participants will undergo annual transient elastography examination.
Perioperative Energy Expenditure in Major Liver Resection
Rationale: Complication rates after major liver resections remain as high as 43%. Many initiatives have been taken to reduce postoperative morbidity. As such, prehabilitation programmes are increasingly used for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Improvement of aerobic fitness has been proven to reduce complication rates, especially in high-risk patients (those …
Polycystic Liver Disease Registry (UK)
Multicentre, observational registry studying the natural course of polycystic liver disease.
Liver Disease in Urea Cycle Disorders
This is a multi-center, cross-sectional study to assess risk for liver fibrosis and hepatic injury in individuals with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) using serum biomarkers, Fibroscan, and MRE. This study will be conducted at 5 sites of the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium: Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, Seattle …
MRI Based Biomarkers in Pediatric Autoimmune Liver Disease
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD), which include Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) are a common etiological factors for chronic liver disease among adolescents. In all these conditions, autoimmune lymphocyte responses are thought to orchestrate inflammatory injury against hepatocytes (primarily in AIH) or cholangiocytes (in PSC). In this proposal …
Pathogenesis of Pediatric Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
The main aim of the study is to discover the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of NAFLD in obese youth.
Cardiac Dysfunction in Patients with Fatty Liver Disease
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is seen as a blunted contractile responsiveness to stress, and/or altered diastolic relaxation with electrophysiological abnormalities, in absence of known cardiac disease. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with risk of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) , septic shock. , heart failure in the perioperative period following liver transplantation, …
Investigating Pathological Mechanisms in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
To identify key characteristics of the tissue resident and peripherally circulating immune-phenotype in addition to blood markers, metabolic profile, faecal and oral microbiota in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
EndoNAFLD: Relationship Between Fatty Liver Disease and Cardiovascular Diseases
Management of risk factors is the primary approach to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this regard the accurate scoring of disease risk is fundamental. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged recently as a potential mediator of CVD onset and progression. The hypothesis is that NAFLD can be a predictive …
Measuring Patient Reported Needs in Outpatient Liver Disease Management
This prospective study aims to assess health-related social needs (HRSNs) among patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) receiving outpatient care at Indiana University Health. Patients with CLD often face socioeconomic challenges that adversely affect health outcomes, but no validated screening tool exists for this population. The primary objective is to …
