It is particularly common among oncology patients, but also among patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as liver cirrhosis or pancreatitis. Sarcopenia, a form of frailty, is defined as a loss of muscle quantity, quality …
Efficacy and Safety of Citrate Anticoagulation in CRRT for Patients With Liver Failure/DysfuncTION, the CAUTION Trial! A Retrospective Study on Etiology of Liver Failure and Their Complications
Study design A retrospective cohort study will be conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of citrate anticoagulation in CRRT among patients with liver failure/dysfunction and severe shock. Objectives Primary Objective: To determine if the etiology of liver failure impacts the incidence of citrate-related complications in patients undergoing CRRT. Secondary …
J-Tip Use for Paracentesis in Adults With Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the level of comfort adult patients with cirrhosis of the liver and ascites presenting to Northwestern Memorial Hospital experience during a bedside abdominal paracentesis by numbing the skin with a needle-less device (the J-Tip), instead of using a needle to numb …
HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool for the Decision of Liver Transplant in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Liver transplant is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Due to organs shortage, the proper selection of patients is imperative. Prevailing clinical morphological models used in most centres (Milan Criteria), can exclude potential candidates and include patients with aggressive biological behaviour. To more accurately select candidates …
Registry Study for Optimal Management of Liver Failure in the Chinese Population
Liver failure is the most severe form of liver damage caused by viral, alcoholic, drug-related and ischemia-reperfusion factors, often combined with extrahepatic organ damage, resulting in a high mortality rate. This study intends to construct a real-world case registry database of inpatients with liver failure based on an electronic clinical …
