Androgens and NAFLD Longitudinal Cohort Study
The researchers want to learn how androgens, a type of sex hormone, might affect nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) in young women over time. NAFLD happens when fat builds up in the liver which can cause damage to the liver such as inflammation or scarring. Young women with a condition called …
3D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to investigate the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to establish a risk stratification system …
Holmium-166 Transarterial Radioembolization for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Holmium-166 (Ho-166) transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for treating patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common type of liver cancer. HCC is often linked to conditions like liver cirrhosis and viral hepatitis, with a poor prognosis for advanced stages. TARE …
Liver Transplant CGM
This investigator initiated study aims to describe continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) based glycemic metrics after discharge from liver transplant and assess relationship with glycemic metrics and liver transplant outcomes.
Intra-Hepatic Microbiota in Alcoholic Hepatitis
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a serious complication of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The histological presentation of AH is characterized by neutrophilic lobular inflammation, macrovesicular steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning and necrosis and the presence of Mallory bodies. In cases of severe HA, defined by a modified Maddrey score of 32 or above, …
Drug-induced Liver Injury: Itching Study
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an unpredictable adverse hepatic reaction to a medication used in its therapeutic dose. DILI is the second most common cause of itching in adult Hepatology after biliary obstruction. In particular cholestatic or mixed pattern types of DILI (in which bile flow from the liver …
Comparison of the Incidence of Delirium Caused by Different Anesthetic Agents in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation
This study is a prospective observational study that analyzes the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing liver transplantation, based on the use of the inhalational anesthetic sevoflurane and the intravenous anesthetic propofol.
Comorbidities Resolution After MGB Surgery and Change in Body Composition
This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after …
Radio-opaque Contrast Agents for Liver Cancer Targeting With KIM During Radiation Therapy
This observational study will investigate the properties of image files standardly collected during radiation therapy treatment in a cross-section of liver cancer patients who received stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) after trans-catheter arterial chemo emobilisation (TACE). Specifically, it will determine whether the radio-opaque contrast agents in the image files …
Value of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in the Assessment of Liver Cirrhosis
A total of fifty-five (55) patients with liver cirrhosis will be enrolled in this study to produce and validate dedicated Ga-PSMA-PET/MRI acquisition protocols. The specific hypotheses include: Ga-PSMA PET/MRI may allow robust and reproducible noninvasive in vivo quantitation of hepatic macro and microhemodynamics in cirrhotic patients Dedicated simultaneously acquired DWI …
