This study is part of the MACROLIVER Project, which aims to develop a digital tool for patients and their caregivers to manage liver diseases. Approximately 20-25 million individuals worldwide carry HBsAg and are co-infected with HDV, though geographic variations exist. In Italy, an estimated 10,000-20,000 individuals are affected by Delta …
The purpose of this observational study is to employ single-cell multi-omics and spatial omics technologies to characterize the spatial and immune structures within the livers of patients with fatty liver, hepatic hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HBV infection. The primary questions it aims to address are: Investigate …
The Health Advocate for Liver Transplant (HEAL-Tx) Transition of Care Pilot is a nonrandomized, open-label intervention pilot of a health advocate intervention aimed to assess feasibility and acceptability of integrating a Health Advocate onto the transplant team to help adolescents transition their care to adult transplant teams. Across studies, health …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the intraoperative use of a computer guidance software can improve the success of liver tumor ablation in adults. The employed software calculates and displays a simulation of the ablation such that the physician can visualize what portion of the target …
Colorectal liver metastases (CLM) are currently considered an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation (Lt) although Lt for other primary and secondary liver malignancies show excellent outcome in selected patients. Before 1995, several Lts for CLM were performed, but the outcome was poor (18% 5-year survival) and Lt for CLM was …
In this multi-center prospective observational study, the investigators plan to identify the incidence and risk factors for checkpoint inhibitor-induced liver injury and characterize biochemical, genetic, immunological, and histological features associated with it.
The aim of the current study is to determine the potential efficacy of liver transplantation in the form of patients' overall survival (OS) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy in patients with biologically responsive locally advanced non-metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) in comparison to patients historically treated with chemotherapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of a structured Mediterranean dietary program on prevention of weight gain, promotion of heart health and prevention of fatty liver disease after liver transplantation.
Chronic hepatic disease, and especially cirrhosis, are associated to a global dysfunction of the immune system. Liver transplantation represents the only replacement therapy for end-stage liver disease and a curative means of localized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but required immunosuppressive treatment to limit the risk of rejection. Candidates for liver transplantation …
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a critical therapeutic approach for managing esophagogastric variceal bleeding and refractory ascites in decompensated cirrhosis patients. To date, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains one of the most common complications following TIPS procedures, and prediction and prevention of post-TIPS HE have always been a hotspot in …
