Effects of Testosterone Undecanoate vs Placebo on Intrahepatic Fat Content in Overweight/Obese Men With T2DM or Prediabetes and Hypogonadism
The epidemics of obesity, MeTSy, T2DM and CVD are increasing worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming recognized as a condition possibly involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. The prevailing hypothesis for NAFLD pathogenesis is the 'two-hit' model, with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia playing essential roles, which have …
A Study of Eloralintide (LY3841136) in Participants With Different Levels of Liver Damage and in Participants With Healthy Livers.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how a medicine, LY3841136, works in participants with different levels of liver damage and in participants with healthy liver. The researchers want to see how the medicine is absorbed and used by the body, and if it causes any side effects, …
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 …
Liver Transplantation for Non-Resectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of liver transplantation in the context of non-resectable colorectal liver metastasis. The primary endpoint is the overall survival in this group of patients while the secondary endpoint is the disease-free survival. Patients included in this protocol will be evaluated either for whole or …
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. …
A Phase 1b Study of QX1206 in T2DM Patients With NAFLD
This is an open label phase 1b trial of QX1206 in patients with T2DM and with NAFLD. Laboratory tests and other measurements will be assessed prior to the first dose of study treatment and throughout the study to determine the recommended phase 2 dose. In addition, the preliminary effects of …
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 …
