Bicalutamide Therapy in Young Women With NAFLD and PCOS
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or fat-related liver inflammation and scarring is projected to be the leading cause of cirrhosis in the United States (U.S.) within the next few years. Women are at disproportionate risk for NASH, with approximately 15 million U.S. women affected. There is an urgent need to understand risk …
Lifestyle Changes in PCOS with OSA and NAFLD
Complain of obstructive sleeping apnea and fatty liver is common in PCOS women so lifestyle changes are recommended
Single and Multiple Dose Escalation of PHIN-214 in Child-Pugh A and B Liver Cirrhotics
This single and multiple ascending dose (SAD and MAD) study evaluates PHIN-214, being studied to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, and establish the maximum tolerated dose of this compound in patients with Child Pugh A and B Cirrhosis.
Glucocorticoids for Acute Drug Induced Liver Injury With Hyperbilirubinemia
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can lead to potentially fatal complications, such as acute liver failure and even death. In clinical practice, glucocorticoids have been considered in some cases of DILI, especially patients with hyperbilirubinemia. However, the available evidence remains controversial and its quality is also very limited. Herein, a multicenter …
Effects of Empagliflozin on Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Chronic Hepatitis B
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects 257million individuals worldwide. In 2017, it caused around 39.7 million cases of cirrhosis and 0.4 million cirrhosis-related deaths in 2017. However, there is no specific treatment for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. Although nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) profoundly suppress viral replication, fibrosis/cirrhosis progression can still occur in NA-treated patients. …
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 …
The Effect of Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection on Liver Reserve Function for Cirrhosis Patients
In this study, the investigators compared the improvement of liver reserve function related indicators in patients with liver cirrhosis after laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection. To determine whether surgical treatment can help enhance postoperative liver reserve function and improve patient prognosis.
Effect of Handgrip Strength on Portal Vein Hemodynamics in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis
Background Handgrip strength , a core indicator of muscle function, has been confirmed to be significantly associated with the clinical prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis. However, no studies have explored its correlation with portal venous hemodynamics. Objective The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of Handgrip …
Portal Inflow Modulation Prior to Liver Transplantation in Patients With Increased Risk of Intraoperative Blood Loss
Liver transplantation is a procedure associated with an exceptionally high risk of blood loss. Liver failure, which is the most common indication for transplantation, not only leads to coagulation disorders but also to the development of portal hypertension. As a result, collateral circulation forms within the abdominal venous system, significantly …
Quantifying Hepatic Mitochondrial Fluxes in Humans
In this study the investigators will quantitate hepatic mitochondrial fluxes in T2D patients with NAFL and NASH before and after 16-weeks treatment with the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone
