Filter by:Patient Registry aiming to provide regional evidence documenting the clinical merit of EUS (Endoscopic_ Ultrasound) guided liver biopsy, per local standard of practice, in patients with suspected liver disease indicated for an endoscopic intervention and a liver biopsy.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical performance of LIVERFAStTM In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Tests (Fibrosis score, Activity score and Steatosis score) in NAFLD suspected patients for staging of fibrosis and for grading of inflammatory activity and steatosis, taking as reference the liver biopsy with histological classification of the elementary lesions determined according to SAF scores (Bedossa P., Hepatology 2012). The secondary objective is to assess the performance of LIVERFAStTM for the histological definition of NAFLD, including NAFL and NASH and severe NASH
This pilot study will evaluate conventional and investigational MR imaging and spectroscopic sequences and collect data to help plan more definitive future studies.
The study will evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) following a course of DAA therapy delivered using a simplified schedule of safety and virological monitoring.
This study will evaluate the proportion of patients achieving confirmed SVR12 (undetectable HCV RNA at time point 12 weeks plus post treatment commencement) in patients hospitalised for IRID (injecting related infectious diseases) and commencing inpatient DAA treatment within public hospital services.
This study evaluates the addition of glycyrrhizin to entecavir in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B in China. Half of participants will receive magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate followed by oral diammonium glycyrrhizinate and entecavir in combination, while the other half will receive a placebo and entecavir.
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune chronic liver disease, characterised by destruction of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the first line treatment for patients with PBC. However, up to 40% of patients respond inadequate to this treatment. sCD163 is a macrophage activation marker shedded into plasma by macrophages in the liver. sMR is a soluble mannose receptor. The investigators want to investigate whether sCD163 and sMR can predict response to treatment with UDCA in newly diagnosed patients with PBC.

The investigators want to investigate whether sCD163 and sMR correlate with disease severity in patients with PBC, and whether sCD163 and sMR can predict short term disease progression, changes in quality of life and death in these patients.
A new technique called Ultrasound-based Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)imaging is performed using standard approved ultrasound machines and transducers but the sound waves or impulses are produced in a different pattern. We are going to evaluate the usefulness of this new technique in diagnosing different liver conditions.
