Background: Derangement of liver blood tests (LBT) is frequent in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to evaluate (a) the prevalence deranged LBT as well their association (b) clinical severity at admission and (c) 30-day outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19. Methods: Consecutive COVID-19 regional referral center over 12-month period were included. Clinical hospital (need for intensive care, mechanical ventilation, or death) analyzed. Results: occurred 2854/3812...
AimTo assess the measures of disease frequency and determine clinical features primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in two Croatian regions.MethodsDatabases tertiary hospitals, one located continental coastal region Croatia, were retrospectively searched for PBC patients diagnosed from 2007 to 2018. Epidemiologic data analysis was restricted each hospital's catchment area. We analyzed factors related response therapy event-free survival (EFS), defined as absence ascites, variceal bleeding,...
Aim. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence increased controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) as surrogate markers steatosis fibrosis in transplant recipient (LTR). Secondary objectives were determine predictors CAP LSM population LTR. Methods. In prospective, cross-sectional study, we have evaluated 175 LTRs’ mean age 61 (53–65) with a functioning graft for more than one year who came regular outpatient examinations...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with systemic changes in immune response linked chronic low-grade inflammation and progression. Semaphorins, a large family of biological modifiers, were recently recognized as one the key regulators responses, possibly also diseases. The aim this study was to identify semaphorins NAFLD their relationship steatosis fibrosis stages. In prospective, case-control study, serum semaphorin concentrations (SEMA3A, -3C, -4A, -4D, -5A -7A)...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a congenital or acquired hyperinflammatory syndrome, in some cases accompanied by acute liver failure. We present case report of failure associated with HLH after COVID-19 vaccination and bring literature review the connection between vaccination. has significant mortality rate, transplantation not therapeutic option. Therefore, early recognition timely conservative treatment are corner stones reducing HLH-related morbidity mortality.
Ursodeoxycholic acid response score (URS) is a prognostic model that estimates the baseline probability of treatment after 12 months ursodeoxycholic (UDCA) therapy in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).To independently evaluate predictive performance URS model.We used cohort Slovak and Croatian treatment-naïve PBC to quantify discrimination ability using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) its 95% confidence interval (CI). Furthermore, we evaluated...
Objective: To identify pretreatment laboratory parameters associated with treatment response and to describe the relationship between liver decompensation in patients primary biliary cholangitis treated ursodeoxycholic acid. Methods: We defined as both ALP ≤ 1.67 × ULN total bilirubin 2 ULN. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed adjust for confounding effects of sociodemographic variables. Results: Pretreatment ((TB); OR = 0.3388, 95%CI 0.1671–0.6077), ALT (OR 0.5306,...
Pseudokidney sign (PKS) is a characteristic sonographic finding of an abnormal mass with reniform appearance, and hyperechoic central region surrounded by hypoechoic area. It has been seldom documented in gastric cancer. A 75-year-old male patient presented palpable abdominal resistance the left upper quadrant ultrasound evaluation revealed well-vascularized presenting PKS. Regional lymphadenopathy was also found, working diagnosis cancer established. The suspected later verified...

To compare the long-term outcomes between liver transplant (LT) recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were downstaged transarterial-chemoembolization (TACE) to Milan criteria (MC) and those initially meeting MC.This retrospective study enrolled 198 patients HCC: 38 160 met MC. Post-LT survival HCC recurrence-free evaluated. We assessed association of death recurrence TACE, baseline (age, sex, disease etiology, Model End-stage Liver Disease, tumor number sum maximum diameters,...
