Filter by:This study compare the efficiency of partial splenic embolization +endoscopical therapy with endoscopical therapy alone in gastroesophageal variceal haemorrhage accompanied with splenomegaly or hypersplenism of hepatocirrhosis and portal hypertension treatment.
The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of transnasal endoscopy in patients with portal hypertension, cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic. The incidence of the procedure's adverse effects, the patient's tolerance and his/her opinion about the exam are analyzed. In addition, the interobserver matched for the discoveries found in the study is carried out.
Combined with the clinical data of FK506 and the database of GO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）, the investigators aim to carry out the bioinformatic analysis and build a muti-locus genetic model, then muti-center assess the predictive accuracy of FK506 metabolic differences.
Thalassemics can develop liver fibrosis because of iron overload and hepatitis C infection. The latter is the main risk factor for liver fibrosis in transfusion dependent thalassemics. Excess liver iron is clearly recognized as a co factor for the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with hepatitis virus C infection. Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is a reliable non invasive method for diagnosing as liver fibrosis in thalassemic patients regardless of the degree of iron overload. There is evidence that suggests Spirulina may help to protect against liver damage, cirrhosis and liver failure in those with chronic liver disease.
The patients will be randomized into two groups 1. Endoscopic Variceal Ligation with Non Selective Beta Blocker 2. Placebo with Endoscopic Variceal Ligation
To assess efficacy (SVR rate) of MK5172 / MK8742 for 12 weeks without RBV in G1b patients with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A5 to A6) previously failing first gen. PI or non responders to PR.
Individuals with hepatic cirrhosis (n=50) and healthy controls (n=30) were recruited. Sleep quality, sleep timing parameters and circadian preference were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sleep Timing Questionnaire (STQ) and The Composite Scale for Morningness (CSM) respectively
In this study, investigators aimed to transplant autologous, adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells to the patients with liver cirrhosis due to HCV. We also aimed to assess liver tissue regeneration, downgrade of clinical findings and antiviral efficacy. Finally investigators aimed to establish an alternative treatment modality to liver transplantation.
The investigators will treat 50 patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C genotype 1, with sofosbuvir 400 mg daily, ledipasvir 90 mg daily and weight-based ribavirin (1000 mg/d if <75 kg, 1200 mg/d if >75 kg, divided in two daily doses) for 12 weeks and calculate the sustained viral response rate at 12 weeks.
The proportion of HCV infected patients over age 65 years in Western countries is increasing. This growth and the advent of new antiviral therapy bring into the question the real world efficacy and safety of the combination of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir (SOF/SMV) plus a flat dose of ribavirin (RBV) in elderly patients compared to younger patients.
