Filter by:Liver Cirrhosis is a common pathological consequence of chronic liver disease. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is one of most etiologies of Liver cirrhosis in China. The effective inhibition of HBV can partially regress or reverse liver fibrosis in patients with chronic Hepatitis and liver cirrhosis due to HBV, however some patients keep existence or development although HBV DNA is under-detectable after anti-virals. Theses refractory liver fibrosis is required the anti-fibrotic treatment focusing on the regulation of hepatic extracellular matrix, especially is necessary for in the patients with advance fibrosis stage ie. liver cirrhosis. Fuzheng Huayu has been found to enhance the degradation of collagens in fibrotic liver and have a good action against liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. However, there are no high quality clinical evidences which can demonstrate if the combination of anti-viral and anti-fibrotic therapy can improve the reversion of refractory liver fibrosis in liver cirrhosis due to HBV. The primary objective of this study is to establish the safety and efficacy of the combination of Entecavir and Traditional Chinese Medicine in refractory liver fibrosis in liver cirrhosis due to HBV.

The effective inhibition of HBV can partially stop or reverse liver fibrosis in patients with chronic Hepatitis and liver cirrhosis due to HBV, and the anti-fibrotic strategy focusing on the regulation of hepatic extracellular matrix is still required and hopefully improve the efficacy of anti-virals for liver fibrotic patients with HBV, especially is necessary for in the patients with advance fibrosis stage ie. liver cirrhosis.

A point-of-care bleeding management protocol based on global viscoelastic test (thromboelastometry) can change the amount of blood products used during orthotopic liver transplant.
Entacavir and tenofovir are two first line therapies for chronic hepatitis B. Both agents have been claimed equivalent in treatment, there are no head to head trials available in the literature about there effectiveness in HBV Decompensated Cirrhosis. The investigators aimed to compare safety/efficacy and virological response in patients with HBV Decompensated Cirrhosis.
In this study, consecutive patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis (NASH-related cirrhosis), coming to ILBS (Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences) OPD (Out patient Department) or getting admitted in the ward will be enrolled on fulfillment of inclusion/exclusion criteria and consent of the patient. These patients will be randomised to either metformin arm or conventional treatment arm. After enrollment these subjects will be monitored every three monthly for total of 12 months or till the primary endpoint is achieved. At the end of the study, outcome will be measured appropriately.
This is an open-label pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IDN-6556 in treating portal hypertension in subjects with liver cirrhosis.
This is a multicenter study to see if treatment with IDN-6556 can help improve the liver function of patients with liver cirrhosis with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores between 11-18.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of ND-L02-s0201 in subjects with moderate to extensive hepatic fibrosis.
Study to assess the antiviral efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and tolerability of 200 mg BILN 2061 ZW in a polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400: ethanol) drinking solution given orally for two days bid to patients with cirrhosis and chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection
Patients with cirrhosis often experience muscle cramps with varying severity. The mechanism of their occurrence is not yet understood. Muscle cramps in patients with cirrhosis are associated with significantly diminished quality of life. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of baclofen in the treatment of muscle cramps in patients with liver cirrhosis.
