MAsS Scan as a Predictor of Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With Liver Disease
The purpose of the study is to study the muscle assessment score (MAsS, utilizing MRI, as an objective measure of frailty and muscle composition to serve as a predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients with liver disease.
Development of a Autoimmune Hepatitis Patient's Database Linked to a Biological Sample Storage
Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is chronic fibroinflammatory disease of the liver characterized by chronic, relapsing liver inflammation, and a risk for progression to liver failure and need for liver transplantation. No AIH-specific registry does exist in Italy, so that the actual epidemiology of the disease in the country is unknown. This …

Prediction of Decompensation and HCC Development in Advanced Chronic Liver Disease
The aim of this observational study is to predict the short- and long-term development of acute severe disease events, de novo hepatocarcinoma (HCC) and mortality in patients with advanced chronic liver disease using the M10S20 (Liver stiffness and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Score [MELD] combined) and PLEASE (Platelet, Etiology, …
Liver Transplantation in Patients With CirrHosis and Severe Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: iNdications and outComEs
Management of ACLF is mainly supportive. The poor outcomes lead physicians to consider liver transplantation as an option, even if controversial. In sicker recipients, LT results in immediate survival, but poor medium-term survival rates in some studies. The scarcity of deceased donors obliges to maximize LT success. Alternative strategies, as …
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis in Children
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease that damages the liver's bile ducts. Bile ducts are tiny tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. Bile is a liquid produced by the liver that helps us absorb and use the nutrients in the food we …
Biobank for Cholestatic Liver Diseases.
This study is a biobank of specimens and clinical data for use in current and future research to better understand the cholestatic liver diseases primary biliary cirrhosis/cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
Evaluation of Patients With Liver Disease
The proposed study aims to evaluate, investigate, and follow-up patients suffering from acute and chronic liver disease. The study will focus on understanding diseases affecting the liver. Patients participating in the study will first undergo a routine check-up as an outpatient. They will be asked to provide blood and urine …
