The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, natural history, and risk factors hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with new polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent grafts in cirrhotic patients.Seventy-eight patients treated by TIPS PTFE-covered followed same medical team--according a prospective protocol for diagnostic workup surveillance strategy--were reviewed. follow-up 19.9 +/- 20.6 months.At least one episode HE occurred 35...
Recent studies have shown that liver cirrhosis (LC) behaves as an acquired hypercoagulable state with increased thrombotic risk. This is why anticoagulation therapy (AT) now frequently used in these patients. Variceal bleeding a severe complication of LC. It unknown whether AT may impact the outcome Fifty‐two patients on upper gastrointestinal (UGIB) were evaluated. Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and different cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) indication for 14 38 patients, respectively....
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Management of ultrasound (US)‐guided percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) lacks standardisation. Despite the low risk major complications (< 1%), repeated blood counts up to 4 h in‐hospital observation are typically recommended. We aimed assess complication rates predictors in a large cohort patients undergoing US‐PLB across three Italian tertiary centres. included all from January 2018 December 2023. collected clinical, biochemical procedural features (needle...
Background and Aims Liver fibrosis holds a relevant prognostic meaning in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Noninvasive evaluation using vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is routinely performed. However, there limited evidence on its accuracy at diagnosis PBC. We aimed to estimate the diagnostic of VCTE assessing advanced (AF) disease presentation Approach Results collected data from 167 consecutive treatment‐naïve PBC patients who underwent liver biopsy (LB) six Italian...
The treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) leads to high sustained virological response (SVR) rates, but hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk persists in people advanced liver disease even after SVR. We weighted the HCC cirrhosis achieving HCV eradication through DAA and compared it untreated participants multicenter prospective Italian Platform for Study Viral Hepatitis Therapies (PITER) cohort. Propensity matching inverse probability weighting was used...
We aimed to characterize the epidemiologic and comorbidities profiles of patients with chronic Hepatitis D (CHD) followed in clinical practice Italy explored their interferon (IFN) eligibility.
The identification of advanced fibrosis by applying noninvasive tests is still a key component the diagnostic algorithm NAFLD. aim this study to assess concordance between FIB-4 and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients referred two centers for ultrasound-based diagnosis Fibrosis 4 Index Liver (FIB-4) LSM were assessed 1338 patients. A total 428 (32%) had an ≥ 8 kPa, whereas 699 (52%) 113 (9%) < 1.3 >3.25, respectively. Among with 1.3, 118 (17%) kPa (false-negative FIB-4). This...
BACKGROUND AND AIMPorto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) is a group of disorders characterized by lesions involving portal venules and sinusoids, irrespective the presence hypertension (PH). Liver biopsy (LB) essential for diagnosis. In single-center study, we demonstrated high rates PSVD in patients with persistently elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). This multicenter study aims to establish prevalence larger dataset individuals persistent unexplained GGT elevation, identify...
Sustained virological response (SVR) by direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) may reverse the hypercoagulable state of HCV cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) risk. We evaluated incidence predictive factors de novo, non-tumoral PVT in patients with after eradication.
Summary Background Long‐term administration of TDF/ETV in patients with HBV‐related compensated cirrhosis reduces HCC and decompensation events but the effect this regimen on development/regression oesophageal varices (EV) is currently unknown. Aim To assess risk EV development/progression population. Methods A total 186 Caucasian HBV‐monoinfected cirrhotics were enrolled a long‐term cohort study from introduction. Upper GI endoscopies performed according to Baveno recommendations. Primary...
Noninvasive methods are useful for investigating patients with chronic HBV infection. The severity of liver disease in inactive HBsAg carriers can be noninvasively assessed by transient elastography (TE) alone or association biochemical markers fibrosis.The study evaluates the effectiveness TE compared to common fibrosis scores (FSs), APRI, Forns Index, and FIB4, identifying significant Italian foreigner carriers. To investigate risk progression disease, stiffness (LS) HBV-DNA were monitored...
Objectives The association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and carotid atherosclerosis is still controversial. present study was designed to assess the relationship left ventricular systolic mechanics, noninvasively assessed by two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) common artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT), in patients with nonadvanced NAFLD. Methods All consecutive NAFLD diagnosed stiffness measurement (LSM) <12.5 kPa on transient...
