Filter by:The subjects of this study were inpatients with ACLF who were admitted to Tongji Hospital in Wuhan from March 2023 to June 2025. After patients were enrolled, The patient's general information (gender, age, past medical history, etc.), complications (ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.), laboratory tests (CRP, PCT, INR, WBC, fungal/bacterial diagnostic tests, etc.), symptoms and signs at the time of infection, and at admission (D1), D4, D7, D14, D21, etc.) were recorded Save the blood separately. The patients were divided into fungal infection group, bacterial infection group and non-infection group according to the infection status after admission.
In this observational cohort study data on all patients undergoing liver transplantation after hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion at Medical University of Vienna will be prospectively recorded. Investigation of short- and long-term outcome in this cohort will be conducted.
Increased life expectancy and aging population has led to a trend of increasing liver transplant (LT) volume in the elderly. Nowadays, advanced age is not considered an absolute contraindication for LT but elderly LT candidates typically have an age-associated burden of comorbid conditions that can pose several clinical challenges during the selection/evaluation process for LT. Specific algorithms for elderly patient selection for LT are not well established; however, consensus agreement is that elderly LT candidates need a more rigorous selection process. This study proposes a "step by step" algorithm of selection for liver transplant candidates more than 70 years.
The investigators aim to study the predictive value of presepsin in ascites in newly admitted patients with chronic liver failure.
The goal of this observational study is to understand if there is a correlation between the evolution of MELD-Na and symptomatic burden of patients with advanced chronic liver disease. All patients with chronic liver disease will be invited to participate in the study. Patients will be followed prospectively with assessment of their MELD-Na score and symptom burden, according to the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System scale.
In this study, a single non-invasive tool, spleen stiffness measurement (SSM), was used to monitor the disease regression of inpatients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and acute liver injury. The present study aimed to establish an early diagnosis warning model for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) by SSM and investigate the effect of dynamic changes in SSM on the short-term prognosis (28-day, 90-day morbidity and mortality) of inpatients with CLD and acute liver injury.
There is a rise in the prevalence of end-stage liver disease during the last decade. End-stage liver disease has become one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. However, the shortage of donor, high cost, and postoperative complications limit its wide application in clinical practice. At present, stem cell-based therapy has been developed as an alternative treatment for end-stage liver disease. Stem cells can be differentiated into a variety of cell types, and stem cell transplantation, mainly umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells, has attracted more and more attention in the treatment of end-stage liver disease. The investigators therefore conduct a randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord tissue mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of end-stage liver disease.
Remote healthcare monitoring for cirrhosis has shown promise in overcoming barriers to accessing specialty care, improving healthcare quality, and reducing mortality. The LiverWatch study is investigating whether a remote nutrition, physical activity, and education intervention can improve health outcomes in those with cirrhosis. In this clinical trial, individuals will be randomized to either enhanced usual care or the LiverWatch intervention. Both groups are given fitbits and asked to increase their step counts. Those in the Liverwatch group will be incentivized for increase their physical activity while also undergoing a personalized nutrition intervention and weekly symptom monitoring and cirrhosis education.
This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of individual nutrition support for treating hepatitis b virus(HBV) related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients at nutrition risk
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether early integration of palliative care in the care of hospitalized patients with advanced liver disease (AdvLD) can improve patients' quality of life, physical symptoms, mood, and serious illness communication. Palliative care is a medical specialty focused on lessening (or "palliating") symptoms and assisting in coping with serious illness.
