Filter by:The post-hepatotectomy liver failure (PHLF) is still the most worrisome complication of hepatic resection. Surgeons have always been making efforts to preoperatively predict PHLF using kinds of techniques, scoring systems, and variables. The investigators of this study tried to create an individual predictive model based on the variable, resected normal parenchymal volume (RNLV), then assessing the performance and value of the model in clinical practice.
To study the pharmacokinetics of continuous infusion of remazolam in ICU mechanically ventilated critically ill patients, and the characteristics of PK in patients with liver failure; to explore whether liver failure affects the metabolism of remazolam by established population pharmacokinetics.
Point-of-care echocardiography (POC-Echo) is used to determine left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), inferior vena cava (IVC) dynamics and volume status in cirrhosis and Acute-on-chronic liver failure ACLF accurately. We will assess IVC dynamics, LV systolic function [LV ejection fraction (EF) & cardiac output (CO)], and diastolic dysfunction (E/e', e' and E/A ratio) and urinary biomarkers (cystatin C and NGAL) in patients with cirrhosis and ACLF with hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI).
This project aims to investigate cardiac function in patients with cirrhosis in the acute setting. Acute decompensation and acute-on-chronic liver failure are major events in the life of a patient as they herald disease progression and negative prognosis. Cardiocirculatory function will be assessed by serial assessments in patients admitted for acute decompensation of cirrhosis.
This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled, randomized, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VitaSmart Liver Machine Perfusion System by comparing clinical outcomes in patients undergoing liver transplantation with ex-vivo liver preservation using static cold storage (SCS) followed by hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) versus SCS only.
This is an interventional, double blind, randomized (2:1), and placebo-controlled study of 2 infusions of a 1 dose regimen of HepaStem in patients recently diagnosed (≤1 week) with ACLF grade 1 or 2 on top of Standard of Care (SoC), and for whom the diagnosis is not resolved on the day of infusion.
Consecutive patients undergoing liver transplant surgery will be included in the study. Before surgical incision, during the preanhepatic phase, during the anhepatic phase, during the postanhepatic phase and following closure of the deep fascial layer of the anterior abdominal wall simultaneous measurement of SVC diameter, SBC collapsibility index and CVP will be recorded.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation in Patients with Liver Failure Caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of allogenic bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in patients with liver failure caused by hepatitis B infection. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), prealbumin(PA), liver histological improvement before and 1 week to 1 year after transplantation. Child-Pugh scores, MELD scores and clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.
