Filter by:Portal vein hypertension is associated with post-hepatectomy liver failure in patients with liver cirrhosis. Our previous study found that bolus injection of 1 mg terlipressin immediately after hepatectomy decreased portal vein pressure, and post-operative continuous use of terlipressin decreased the amount of abdominal drain. In this multicenter randomized controlled study, we aim to evaluate the effects of terlipressin in the patients who underwent liver resection complicated by portal vein hypertension.
Early treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFI) may prevent undue mortality in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. We aim to study the impact of early empiric treatment (based on clinical suspicion) of IFI as compared to pre-emptive treatment (based on biomarkers and culture positivity) on the outcomes in ACLF patients with suspected IFI in a randomized trial. The ACLF patients with clinically suspected IFI would be randomly allocated to empiric treatment or pre-emptive treatment group and followed up clinically to assess the impact on survival, clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness and safety of such an approach. The protocol is designed to cut- down unnecessary usage and to curtail the duration of antifungals use in ICUs based on biomarkers/culture-driven stoppage rules. The results will fuel further studies on formal cost-effective analysis and antimicrobial stewardship protocols in ACLF patients.
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.
The AARC China Study is to establish a widely recognized and harmonized standard of patients with HBV-ACLF in the Asia Pacific region.
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 .
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.
This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
This is a prospective, comparative, open label, phase 2b study designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of LifeLiver (an Extracorporeal Bio Artificial Liver). The study will recruit approximately 40 acute or acute-on-chronic liver failure patients.
The purpose of this single center, randomized, control, open-labeled study is to evaluate the effect and safety of RCA versus no anticoagulation for CRRT in patients with liver failure and high risk bleeding.
The main objective of this study is the comparison of the profile of the pro-inflammatory cytokines at the patients suffering from an alcoholic hepatitis to that of two groups witnesses: patients suffering from an alcoholic cirrhosis and unhurt patients of chronic liver disease
