Filter by:Ineffective hemostasis or a paradoxical prothrombotic state of Acute-on-chronic liver disease (ACLF) has been well established. Thrombelastography measures the dynamics of thrombin production and provides a global assessment of coagulation incorporating the cumulative effect of the interactions at various levels between plasma components and cellular component of coagulation. And through the platelet mapping, it can help provide a picture of patients' function of platelet. Based on the primary result of our derivation cohort(NCT03281278), ACLF patients with high ADP inhibition rate had high 28-day mortality.This multicenter validation cohort aims to validate the predictive role of platelet mapping in ACLF prognosis, organ failure developments and short term mortality.
This study is to investigate MER receptor tyrosine kinase (MERTK) signalling cascade on monocytes and tissue macrophages in respect to innate immune function of the cells in patients with cirrhosis at different stages of disease (Child A, B, C, acute decompensation, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF)) and in comparison to patients with acute liver failure and to healthy controls.
This is a multi-center observational follow-up study to collect saliva samples that allow pharmacogenetic analysis of the subjects that participated in the CC-90007-CP-003 study. Approximately 28 subjects with moderate and severe hepatic impairment and healthy control subjects with normal hepatic function will be enrolled.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the narrowing or blockage of the artery of the heart and is prevalent in end-stage liver disease. Consultation with cardiologist and stress tests are recommended to patients under consideration for liver transplant. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA) and CTA-derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFRct) procedure influences decisions about further cardiac testing compared with Standard of Care (SOC) such as consultation by a cardiologist, Echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), Electrocardiogram (ECG) and stress tests.
The AARC China Study is to establish a widely recognized and harmonized standard of patients with HBV-ACLF in the Asia Pacific region.
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct syndrome in patients with chronic liver disease with rapid clinical deterioration and has high short term mortality within one month.Despite aggressive clinical care, only half of the patients could survive an episode of ACLF. The investigators hypothesized that the early treatment with therapeutic plasma exchange with plasma and albumin in ACLF patients might improve overall survival in carefully selected patients by removing cytokines, chemokines and toxic substances.
The study is done with the aim of finding the association between the bilirubin and bile acids / DAMPS molecule with organ failures and sepsis in the patients with acute on chronic liver failure . in this study there are 2 parts in the first part people who satisfy the eligibility criteria will be recruited and blood samples will be taken and above mentioned molecules will be analyzed and association ,if any with occurrences of organ failures / new onset sepsis will be analyzed . In the second part of the study the patients who meet the criteria will be randomized to either receive standard medical therapy or with either haemoperfusion or therapeutic plasma exchange with standard medical therapy . blood samples will be taken and stored, bile acids (primary and secondary bile acids, bilirubin and damps molecules will be analysed .the patients are followed for 90 days , then statistical analysis will be done to find the association with organ failures and new onset sepsis .
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute deterioration of chronic liver diseases, which progresses rapidly, with a mortality rate of more than 50%.MELD score is used to evaluate the patients' condition. However, MELD score only concerned about the variables of total bilirubin, international normalize ratio (INR) and creatinine which is not enough to access ACLF patients' condition accurately. Scholars of US and China suggested to divided ACLF patients into 3 subgroups base on the different "chronic liver disease" . Type A ACLF patients have chronic liver disease without cirrhosis. Type B ACLF patients with compensated cirrhosis, while type C ACLF patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Currently, no studies have assessed the prognosis of different types of ACLF patients, especially for HBV-related ACLF patients. Investigators conducted a retrospective study which enrolls HBV-related ACLF patients between January 2010 and March 2018 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Clinical data, survival time and information regarding liver transplantation after enrolment were collected. A nomogram was formulated based on the results of multivariable Cox regression analysis. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by the concordance index (C-index) and assessed by comparing nomogram-predicted vs observed Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival probability, and bootstraps with 1000 resamples were applied to these activities. Comparisons between the nomogram, MELD Score，MELD-Na Score and CTP Score in the entire population were performed and were tested by the C-index. A larger C-index indicated more accurate prognostic stratification.
it is a single blind randomised control study which aims to study the effect of PEG3350 in resolution of overt hepatic encephalopathy in patients of acute on chronic liver failure. this will be compared with the standard of care in the management of hepatic encephalopathy.
HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) deteriorates rapidly with a high short-term mortality. Early identification and accurate prognostic prediction was critical to improve survival rate. This study was sought to determine the liver volumetry as predictor for short-term mortality in HBV-ACLF and develop a simpler prognostic model based on liver morphology. Liver volumetry were determined from CT at admission. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the optimum prognostic indicators and develop prognostic model. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed to evaluate the predictive ability of the model.
