Effect of Bempedoic Acid on Liver Fat in Individuals With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Type 2 Diabetes
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver conditions ranging from liver steatosis (NAFL), steatohepatitis (NASH), advanced liver fibrosis and ultimately leads to cirrhosis in a significant proportion of individuals. NAFLD is intimately associated with insulin resistance and associated disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and …
Increased Risk of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Low Birth Weight Individuals
The investigators recently demonstrated a increase in liver fat in early middle-aged LBW compared to normal birth weight (NBW) men, and 20% of the LBW - but none of the normal birth weight (NBW) - men had previously unknown non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here the investigators will further examine …
MRI Biomarkers in as Predictor of Clinical Endpoints in Pediatric Autoimmune Liver Disease
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD), which include Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) are a common etiological factor for chronic liver disease among adolescents. This is a longitudinal study to identify surrogate endpoints with an accurate predictive value for the progression of hepatobiliary damage in subjects with pediatric onset …
Fontan Associated Liver Disease and the Evaluation of Biomarkers for Disease Severity Assessment
Background In Fontan Associated Liver Disease (FALD), congestion of blood in the liver causes cirrhosis. This condition can cause death. Researchers want to understand what triggers this process and find new treatments for it. Objective To understand how long-term congestion of blood in the liver causes liver scarring that eventually …
Diet and Meal Timing in Patients With Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatoic Liver Disease
This study will assess the impact of time-restricted eating (8 hours of eating each day) with standard of care lifestyle recommendations (hypocaloric, Mediterranean diet and 30 minutes of exercise on at least 5 days/week) on the degree of fat in the liver as measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The goal of this observation study is to assess whether endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS-SWE) may be a useful tool for liver fibrosis screening in patients with elevated body mass index and non alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to other non-invasive screening modalities, which have traditionally had less …
PPIs and In-Hospital Morbidity in Acute Variceal Bleeding With Chronic Liver Disease
With this study, the investigators pretend to describe intrahospital morbidity in patients living with cirrhosis (PLC) who present to the emergency department with variceal bleeding (VB). This study is a longitudinal, prospective, experimental, analytical single-center clinical trial. The study will be performed in the Hospital Universitario "Jose E. González" de …
Optimizing Portal Hypertension With TIPS and Interval Metabolic Surgery for Advanced Liver Disease
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver. CSPH raises the risk of life-threatening …
Direct Portal Pressure Measurement Via Endoscopic Ultrasound in Advanced Chronic Liver Disease (EVADIPP)
A minimally invasive procedure to directly assess portal pressure gradient under endoscopic ultrasound guidance (EUS-PPG) has become available and initial data have proved the technique to be safe. Aims of our proposal are: (i) to assess performance of EUS-PPG as compared to HVPG in evaluating hemodynamic response to non selective …
Zinc Supplementation to Improve Prognosis in Patients With Compensated Advanced Chronic Liver Disease.
Zinc homeostasis could play a role in advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) and its supplementation has been linked with improvement in liver function, decrease of hepatic complications and reduction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence. cACLD encompasses a heterogeneous group of patients with a variable risk of clinically significant portal hypertension …
