Filter by:In this prospective randomized controlled trial we aim to evaluate the impact of vitamin C on AKI outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and MDR infections. We also aim to evaluate the effects of iv vitamin c on systemic hemodynamics (cardiac output and systemic vascular resistive index, extravascular lung water and lung permeability index), endothelial function and coagulation, microcirculation (as assessed by lactate clearance and central venous oxygen saturation), mitochondrial function, 28-day mortality and vasopressor, ventilator and RRT free days in the ICU. The safety and side-effects of vitamin c would also be evaluated. Patients with suspected (nosocomial acquisition) or proven MDR infections would be screened and randomized to two groups who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group 1: Will receive iv vitamin C (25 mg/kg or max. 1.5 gram every 6 hourly) for maximum 5 days along with iv antibiotics as per institutional protocol Group 2: iv antibiotics alone
In individuals needing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), right heart failure (RHF) is a serious complication post-surgery, associated with worsened outcomes including mortality. However, predictors of decompensation after LVAD are not well established. Liver dysfunction pre-LVAD has been shown to be associated with poor outcomes post-LVAD, but the interplay between liver abnormalities and RHF post-LVAD is not well characterized. Liver stiffness (LS) is a measure associated with certain types of liver abnormalities (e.g., liver fibrosis; cirrhosis). Thus, we hypothesize that elevated LS measured by SWE is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing LVAD implantation and yields increased need for advanced postoperative HF therapies including the use of right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) for the management of RHF.
This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, once daily (QD) dose study of CRV431 in presumed NASH F2/F3 subjects.
Malnutrition and muscle wasting are common consequences of life-threatening, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Such diseases include liver cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis and short bowel syndrome. Malnutrition and muscle wasting increase the risk of complications, reduce the life expectancy and impair the quality of life. The development of malnutrition and muscle wasting is different, as is the diagnosis and nutritional treatment. There are also different mechanisms of origin for the underlying diseases. The aim of the study is to compare data related to nutrition and physical condition of patients with liver cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis and short bowel syndrome. Malnutrition and muscle wasting within the specific diseases will be characterized and possible correlations will be identified. For this, malnourished and non-malnourished patients of the different diseases are compared with controls patients with non-specific complaints of the gastrointestinal tract as well as with healthy study participants. Data on food intake, physical activity, body composition and body measurements as well as muscle strength and muscle function are recorded. Blood values as well as transport and barrier properties of the intestine will also be examined.
Blood products are commonly used before invasive procedures in patients with end-stage liver diseases despite cirrhosis being a thrombophilic state. Traditional coagulation tests [namely International Normalised Ratio (INR) and Platelets count] are known to be unreliable in predicting bleeding risk before invasive procedures and in representing the real coagulation status of cirrhotic patients. Notwithstanding they are still used to guide blood products administration before invasive procedures. Rotational Thromboelastometry ( ROTEM) has been shown to be effective in detecting signs of hypo-hypercoagulability possibly being an alternative method to guide blood products transfusion. The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of ROTEM as a guide for blood products transfusion in cirrhotic children undergoing invasive procedures.
1. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Inclusion criteria: Inpatients who received laparotomy or laparoscopic splenectomy according to clinical, B-ultrasound scan, CT or MRI diagnosis of cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Exclusion criteria: 1. ) Portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) found by preoperative color Doppler ultrasound or MRI examination; 2. ) Liver cirrhosis complicated with liver tumor; 3. ) Liver cirrhosis complicated with blood system diseases; 4. ) Patients who have not signed the informed consent form. 2. Research subgroup According to the order of the patients, the following groups are entered in turn, and the cycle is repeated. 1. ) Heparin group 2. ) Rivaroxaban group 3. ) Control group.
The aim of the study is to study the safety and tolerability of Naltrexone in patients with Alcohol liver disease over a 12 week duration without liver related side effects. The project will be conducted at ILBS from March 2020 to February 2021. The concept is to estimate the usage of naltrexone and establish its safety in cirrhotics and study its effect on achieving and maintaining abstinence and in reducing lapses and relapses. Thereby reducing the progression of alcoholic liver disease as continued ethanol consumption is an important predictor in increasing overall morbidity and mortality. All ALD patients will be included as per inclusion and exclusion criteria, after taking informed consent from the patient or their relatives. In case of any reactions, the drug will be stopped as per the study stopping rule. After following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, ALD patients will be recruited into the study. It's a double blind RCT, hence both the patient and the investigator will be blinded and the drug will be issued by the trial co-ordinator after taking informed written consent and explaining the side effects. Naltrexone at a dose of 50 mg per day and placebo are included in the tablets. Placebo tablets will be identical in size, colour, shape, and taste. Naltrexone tablets will be entrusted to a family member to administer every dose and monitor for side effects.
the study aims to evaluate the role of similar technology of Narrow Band Imaging VIST video intelligent staining technology in the diagnosis of Gastric Antral Vascular ectasia in cirrhotic patients
The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability, reproducibility and accuracy of the paediatric probe of transient elastography in detecting liver fibrosis in children, besides its limitations and side effects. At the same time, to assess whether indirect fibrosis markers are a valid tool to detect absence or mild fibrosis in paediatric patients
The investigators studied the renal function index level in terlipressin treated cirrhotic patients with upper-gastrointestinal bleeding at different time point.
