Filter by:Patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) have high short-term mortality. The use of a severity score could define the patient's prognosis. This study mainly prospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with chronic liver disease related acute liver failure admitted to the department of infectious diseases, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, to analyze the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease related acute on-chronic liver failure in Central South China. No additional interventions other than routine treatment will be added.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of avatrombopag for treating thrombocytopenia in hepatitis b virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients receiving artificial liver support system treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of moderate or severe liver impairment on the drug levels of oral azacitidine and the safety and tolerability of oral azacitidine in participants with myeloid malignancies.
Various parameters will be assessed during the procedure before and after 1 hour of 12.5 mg carvedilol such as HVPG (WHVP - FHVP), SVR, heart rate, cardiac output, cardiac index, Blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean), SpO2. Routine treatment of the patients will be continued as per the Institute protocol. These patients will be assessed for the liver transplant free survival at 28 days and complications [PHT related bleed, AKI, infections, HE] within 90 days; transplant-free survival rate at 90 days; evolution of the AARC score for 2 wk.
To investigate the safety, adverse reactions and therapeutic effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on patients with liver failure;to investigate the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation on the intestinal microecology and "gut-liver axis immune system" of liver failure, and further optimization of fecal microbiota transplantation technology.
Registry intended to provide a data repository and reporting infrastructure for the surveillance of CytoSorb device use in real-world critical care settings, and to serve as an objective, comprehensive, and scientifically-based resource to measure and improve the quality of patient care
In this project, we plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastometry-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. We plan to enroll 140 patients having ACLF with variceal bleeding randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally using clinical judgement and standard coagulation tests such as prothrombin time, platelet count, etc. the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm. They will be followed for development of rebleeding, complications of transfusion and any signs of infection after hospitalization
In critically ill patients with liver disease like cirrhosis or ACLF, fluid therapy needs to be instituted after identification of patients who will be fluid responsive and initiate appropriate inotropes early to prevent the mortality associated with fluid overload. The parameters and methodology used for assessing fluid responsiveness have been studied earlier, but the optimum method is not established. Existing recommendations based on data regarding fluid responsiveness and choice of fluid for resuscitation from intensive care units in general cannot be applied to those with liver disease as the hemodynamic alterations that occur with liver disease, presence of hypoalbuminemia at baseline and presence of cardiac dysfunction interfere with the conventional methods of fluid status assessment, fluid responsiveness as well as the response to different types of resuscitation fluids. Therefore the investigators attempt to compare various methods to estimate current intravascular volume status of patient which could be helpful in guiding fluid therapy.
Acute liver failure patients posed high mortality rate despite receiving standard therapy. The severity and mortality even higher in patients with underlying liver disease. Acute liver failure cause hyperinflammatory response in early stage and immunoparalysis in later stage. The surge of proinflammatory cytokines leads to multiorgan failure and more liver injury. Subsequent immunoparalysis may lead to lethal secondary infections. Liver support system had been used in acute and acute ontop chronic liver disease for last several decades. Double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) is one of the promising non-biological liver support system that have been extensively investigated in acute ontop chronic liver failure from hepatits B viral. DPMAS circuit consist of BS330 (bilirubin adsorber) and HA330 (Cytokines adsorber). Thus, DPMAS can also remove various cytokines. The effect of DPMAS on immune function in these patients has not been explored. Recent randomized controlled trial by Srisawat et al. demonstrated improvement of mHLA-DR in septic shock patients who received polymyxin B extracorporeal therapy compare to control arm. Since liver failure show change of immunological profile resemble to sepsis. Investigators proposed that removal of toxic liver toxins and lethal cytokines by DPMAS will improve immunological profiles in acute ontop chronic liver failure patients. Investigators plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial in acute ontop chronic liver failure patients who admitted to intensive care unit. Investigators plan to compare the immunomodulatory effects of DPMAS with standard treatments.
The CYTOHEP study is a prospective, randomized, single center, open-label, controlled intervention trial to assess the benefit of extracorporeal hemoadsorption using the CytoSorb device in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure. The primary goal for this trial is to assess whether the CytoSorb device used in addition to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) will be able to significantly reduce bilirubin in the patient blood as compared to the control group treated with CRRT alone (i.e., without extracorporeal hemoadsorption). The rationale for this study is based on considerations about the role of systemic inflammation in acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis and ACLF, in-vitro data of the effectiveness CytoSorb for the removal of molecules with a pathophysiological role in acute-on-chronic liver failure, and recent reports on the successful use of extracorporeal hemoadsorption in combination with CRRT in critically ill patients with acute liver dysfunction.
