Filter by:REDuCe is designed to evaluate the role of ROTEM™ in determining the need and the amount of pre-emptive blood products use in patients with cirrhosis undergoing elective procedures compared to the current standard of care. The secondary aim of this study is to evaluate ROTEM™ parameters in patients with acute decompensation, acute on chronic liver failure and acute liver failure and to co-relate it with the conventional coagulation tests.
This is research study is assessing the effects of 6-g daily use of freeze-dried instant coffee on liver fat and fibrosis and the gut microbiome and metabolome in patients who have completed routine treatment (including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) for stage I-III colorectal cancer.
We will evaluate all out-patients and in-patients with cirrhosis, who undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) in the Department of Hepatology, Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), for inclusion. Patients with cirrhosis, with age >18-years, who have characteristic findings of GAVE on endoscopy will be included in this study. Their clinical and biochemical features, and endoscopy findings will be compared with a gender and age-matched control group of cirrhosis without GAVE. This observational, case-control study will aim to define the predictors of GAVE in patients with cirrhosis.
Background Liver cirrhosis is commonly accompanied by intestinal dysbiosis and metabolic defects. Many clinical trials have shown microbiota-targeting strategies represent promising interventions for managing cirrhosis and its complications. However, the influences of the intestinal metagenomes and metabolic profiles of patients have not been fully elucidated. Methods administered lactulose, Clostridium butyricum, and Bifidobacterium longum infantis as a synbiotic and used shotgun metagenomics and non-targeted metabolomics to characterize the results.
The goal of this compassionate access program is to provide early access to REP 2139-Mg for patients with HBV mono-infection or HBV / HDV co-infection who either have advanced (decompensated) cirrhosis or who have failed to response to other other antiviral agents either approved or under development and who are in danger of progressing to decompensated cirrhosis. This compassionate access program will provide access to a once weekly regimen of subcutaneously (SC) administered REP 2139-Mg for a period of 48 weeks with the goal of achieving functional cure of HDV and or HBV, with the reversal of liver disease in the absence of antiviral therapy. The safety, tolerability and efficacy of SC REP 2139-Mg will be monitored during and after therapy
Study population: All the consecutive patients of cirrhosis who are diagnosed to have large gastric varices without prior history of bleeding from GV, who came to OPD or endoscopy in Hepatology department of ILBS will be evaluated for inclusion. Study design: Prospective interventional study. The study will be conducted in the Department of Hepatology ILBS. Study period: 1.0 years Sample size: 60 This is a pilot RCT, and we decided to enroll 30 patients in each arm.
This randomized clinical trial will investigate the opioid sparing effect of dexmedetomidine and ketmine infusion in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection
Hypothesis Relaxed ROTEM cutoff guided blood product transfusion will result in less blood products use without increasing bleeding complications for invasive procedures in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients AIM:- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Relaxed threshold (as compared to conventional thresholds) for blood product transfusion for invasive procedures in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients Objective - Primary objective: To compare the reduction in amount of total component transfused (ml/kg) in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. Secondary objectives: To compare the amount of FFP (ml/kg) transfused in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry cut off based versus Standard Rotational Thromboelastometry cut off based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. To compare the amount of Platelet (ml/kg) transfused in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. To compare the amount of cryoprecipitate (ml/kg) transfused in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. To compare the bleeding rate in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry cut off based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry cut off based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. To compare the rate of transfusion reactions in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. To compare the cost incurred in Relaxed Rotational Thromboelastometry based versus Conventional Rotational Thromboelastometry based transfusion strategy in cirrhosis or acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients.
Out of fear of bleeding, liver cirrhosis patients are often treated prophylactically with blood and coagulation products before minor interventions. The COUCH study will examine whether these patients benefit from a restrictive administration of coagulation products.
This study evaluates the effect of a web-based mobile health application for patients with liver cirrhosis (ReLiver-N App) developed for enhancing patients' activation on the level of patient activation, self-efficacy, and quality of life. To manage liver cirrhosis after discharge, patients must continue to do some interventions at home like weight measurement, edema evaluation, and taking medications. To achieve this, the patient's activation level should be enhanced and that can contribute to hepatic rehabilitation. It would be beneficial to develop a web-based mobile health application for patients with liver cirrhosis that can enhance patient activation levels. The investigators developed the ReLiver-N App based ADDIE which is instructional design framework and created its contents of it. Our content includes about us, patient education information about liver cirrhosis, patient activity skills and measuring tools. Ten experts evaluated the quality of the content and the investigators conducted a feasibility test with three patients to assess the usability of the ReLiver-N App. A single-blind randomized controlled trial design will be applied. Patients with liver cirrhosis will be pretested and randomized (intervention (ReLiver-N App): 26, active control: 26) to the ReLiver-N App group and active control group. Both the ReLiver-N App group and active control group will use the ReLiver-N App for three months. While participants in the ReLiver-N group can reach all content of the ReLiver-N App. Participants in the active control group will have access to "about us", "patient activity skills", and "measuring tools" in the ReLiver-N App. Patient education information about liver cirrhosis will be encrypted.
