Cirrhosis of the liver is a common clinical chronic progressive liver disease, which is a diffuse liver lesion caused by one or more causes over a long period of time or repeatedly. Nodules, abnormal spherical areas of cells, form as dying liver cells are replaced by regenerating cells. This regeneration of cells causes the liver to become hard. The potential for stem cells to differentiate into hepatocytes cells was recently confirmed. In particular, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has been applicated in the clinic for treat several human diseases such as liver injury and liver fibrosis displayed good tolerance and efficiency. Besides, regulatory T cells(Tregs) had been proved as an immune regualtory T cell subsets, which could reduce immune cell activation and reduce liver injury severity. The purpose of this study is to learn whether and how MSCs and Tregs can improve the disease conditions in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
This clinical trial is a retrospective single-centre study. Research data will be acquired via patient histories stored in the hospital data system. Data of patients who received a Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) at the University Hospital Graz between 1.1.2004 and 31.12.2017 will be included into the study. The aim is to investigate the outcome (transplantation free survival, time to (re)occurrence of ascites, occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy) of patients with portal hypertension after TIPS.
The study evaluates whether sarcopenia influences the prevalence of abdominal hernias in patients with cirrhosis.
Hepatitis is known to induce severe liver diseases. The evaluation of the severity of liver cirrhosis is very important for the selection of appropriate treatment plan and the monitoring of patient response to treatment, accurate staging of liver fibrosis is critical because it determines the indication of antiviral treatment and prognosis of patients with chronic viral hepatitis, DWI is a particularly appealing method for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis because it is easy to implement and process, without the need for contrast agents. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been shown to be a promising marker of fibrosis and cirrhosis.
Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are serious complications of hepatic cirrhosis, and they may lead to high mortality rate and severely threaten life quality of the patients
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, and open-label clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of standard medical treatment (SMT) + Albutein 20% administration versus SMT alone in subjects with decompensated cirrhosis and ascites. The study population will consist of subjects being discharged after hospitalization for acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis with ascites (or with prior history of ascites requiring diuretic therapy) with or without acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) at admission or during hospitalization but without ACLF at discharge.
This Phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of SYNB1020 in hepatic insufficiency and cirrhosis patients with hyperammonemia, with dosing of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) administered in an inpatient unit and subsequent outpatient follow-up for SYNB1020 clearance in two study parts.
The immune system is impaired in liver cirrhotic patients, which is associated with a high risk for bacterial infections and worse outcome. A novel biomarker, acellular growth retardation ability (AGRA), can predict the development of severe infections in patients with liver cirrhosis and therefore identify patients at risk. It is still unclear, how this biomarker develops after liver transplantation and how valid its predictions are for post-operative infections. Therefore, AGRA will be measured before and after liver transplantation and predictive merit of AGRA for post-transplant infections will be tested.
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986036 given to healthy participants.
