Austrian Registry on Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts
Patients with TIPS will be recruited in this prospective registry study. The clinical course will be documented and biomarkers for prediction of complicatiosn will be assessed.
Liver Transplantation for Unresectable Liver Limited Colorectal Metastases
This is a single-arm, single institution pilot registry of liver transplantation in patients with unresectable colorectal liver-only metastases at Weill Cornell Medical College. Patients with liver predominant colorectal liver metastases will be screened based on eligibility criteria in a specified clinical hepatobiliary and colorectal liver metastasis tumor board consisting of …
Biomarkers in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of NAFLD
Fibrosis is considered the leading cause of liver diseases and related mortality. Specifically, hepatic fibrosis is regarded as the consequence of reparative mechanisms initiated by hepatocytes in response to chronic damage. In Western countries, the main known etiologies include hepatitis (B and C), alcoholism, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In particular, …
A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes in Patients With Hepatorenal Syndrome at Methodist Dallas Medical Center
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver disease [1]. Increased activity and presence of vasodilators such as nitric oxide in cirrhotic patients leads to vasodilation, especially in the splanchnic circulation, resulting in hemodynamic changes that precipitate renal injury [1]. Patients may …
Use of Novel Plasma and Urinary Biomarkers to Predict the Development of Hepatorenal Syndrome in Cirrhotic Patients
This study investigated the use of novel plasma and urinary biomarkers to predicte the development of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with advanced cirrhosis. The biomarkers investigated include plasma cystatin C, plasma NGAL, plasma NAG, plasma IL-18, plasma ADMA, plasma BTP, urinary KIM-1 and urinary LFABP. These biomarkers will be checked …
Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity (ATM)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. …
Prospective Comparative Validation Study of RUCAM and RECAM
A total of 407 hospitalized patients with acute liver injury in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were enrolled. The clinical information, biochemical examination, imageological examination (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and liver biopsy pathology of patients with acute liver injury will be collected. The diagnostic efficacy of RECAM and …
Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) Network Retrospective
The purpose of this study is to establish retrospectively a nationwide registry of patients who have suffered drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and to collect, immortalize, and store serum, DNA, and lymphocytes from these patients. ILIAD will serve as a resource for subsequent mechanistic investigations into the basis of severe idiosyncratic …
Living Donor Liver Transplant for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases
The goal of this study is to create a data registry to capture clinical, pathologic, and molecular data/outcomes for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who undergo live donor liver transplantation.
Liver Transplantation in Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases
Multicentric prospective and observational study to assess the 5-year overall survival in a cohort of patients with unresectable liver-only colorectal metastases, well controlled by chemotherapy prior to liver transplantation.
