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 …
Inflammation and Obesity-associated Disease
Visceral obesity and adipose inflammation is considered a driving force of obesity-related systemic disease, e.g. cardiometabolic disease, liver cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inflammatory resolution is actively regulated by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including the endogenous eicosanoid LXA4. Impairment of SPMs may underlie development of obesity-related pathology.We hypothesize that …
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in HIV Database
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver conditions associated with fat accumulation that ranges from benign, non-progressive liver fat accumulation to severe liver injury, cirrhosis, and liver failure. The spectrum of NAFLD encompasses simple nonalcoholic steatosis (nonalcoholic fatty liver [NAFL]) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in which there …
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
BActeriophages To Treat Liver Disease Eliminating Harmful Bacteria (BATTLE)
Alcoholic hepatitis is a disease with a high mortality rate with few treatment options improving survival. Recently certain bacterial strains has been correlated to survival in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. In the BATTLE-trial the investigators will investigate if certain bacteria are correlated to decreased chance of survival in patients with …
Volatile Organic Compounds for the Assessment of Liver Disease
This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients who are attending for a planned liver outpatient services or investigations will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed …
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 …
