Efficacy and Safety of Cytokine Adsorption and Plasma Exchange in Patients With HBV-ACLF and Sepsis
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the double plasma cytokine adsorption system with sequential low-dose plasma exchange (DPCAS+LPE) in patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) complicated by sepsis. The focus is on assessing the impact of the cytokine adsorption column(CA280,Jafron Biomedical Co., Ltd., Zhuhai, …
Affect of Melatonin on Sleep and Cognition in Cirrhosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the affect of melatonin on sleep, cognitive function, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with cirrhosis and a complication called hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does taking melatonin increase REM sleep, an important …
Underdilated-stent Technique Improves Post-TIPS Encephalopathy
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a critical therapeutic approach for managing esophagogastric variceal bleeding and refractory ascites in decompensated cirrhosis patients. To date, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains one of the most common complications following TIPS procedures, and prediction and prevention of post-TIPS HE have always been a hotspot in …
Comparison of Inflammatory Profiles and Regenerative Potential in Alcoholic Liver Disease
The main objective of this study is the comparison of the profile of the pro-inflammatory cytokines at the patients suffering from an alcoholic hepatitis to that of two groups witnesses: patients suffering from an alcoholic cirrhosis and unhurt patients of chronic liver disease
Three Types of Nucleotide/Nucleoside Analogues Treatment in HBV Related ACLF
This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
Goal-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation Trial in ACLF Induced Coagulopathy
In this project, we plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastometry-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. We …
A Study to Evaluate Role of Inhaled Amikacin to Prevent Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Patients With Cirrhosis
The recent AMIKINHAL trial found that prophylactic inhaled amikacin was effective in lowering the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Since aspiration is a common complication of cirrhosis patients with HE (7 out of 10 patients develop some type of HE) who are hospitalized to the liver ICU also …
Feasibility Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of the MEX-CD1 Medical Device in ACLF
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the MEX-CD1 hemodialysis medical device in patients suffering from ACLF. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the device safe when used according to the instructions for use? Does the device work as expected by removing the excess of …
Prevention of Post-TIPS Hepatic Encephalopathy by Administration of Rifaximin and Lactulose
Rationale: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major and common complication in patients with liver cirrhosis. HE can be classified in the extensive range of neurocognitive deterioration as minimal HE (MHE), covert HE (grade I), or overt HE (OHE, grade II-IV). Liver cirrhosis is the most common cause of portal hypertension …
Safety and Efficacy of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
The gut microbiota is critical to health and functions with a level of complexity comparable to that of an organ system. Dysbiosis, or alterations of this gut microbiota ecology, have been implicated in a number of disease states. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), defined as infusion of feces from healthy donors …
