This is an observational, monocentric study, consisting of both a retrospective and a prospective component. The aim of the study is to identify risk and protective factors for alcohol relapse in patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) who have undergone orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
The present study is therefore aimed at investigating the prevalence of hepatic alterations (laboratory and imaging) in adult patients with TS and generating hypothesissto the possible etiopathogenetic factors most involved, as well as evaluating the correlation between biochemical and structural abnormalities. Thus, the study could provide relevant etiopathogenetic and prognostic …
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 …
Altitude training has been suggested to be of potential support to improve some chronic clinical conditions, especially metabolic conditions. Normobaric hypoxia represents a promising system to simulate altitude training, and its efficacy and safety have been suggested in different conditions, including diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
