Incidence of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders After TIPS in Cirrhotic Patients

Decompensated cirrhosis is associated with sarcopenia. TIPS is an efficient treatment of portal hypertension. Based on our retrospective data, TIPS induces in 30% of cirrhotic patients metabolic disorders associated with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Microbiota and Bone Fragility:Study of the Relation Between Gut Microbiota and Bone Microarchitecture

Gut microbiota regulate metabolism of their human host. Some diseases are associated with variations in gut microbiota diversity and higher fracture risk. Intestinal bacteria synthesize or influence synthesis of factors modulating bone metabolism. The link between gut microbiota and bone was assessed mainly in experimental animal studies. Clinical data, e.g. …

Identification of Fatty Liver With Advanced Fibrosis in Type 2 Diabetes Using Simple Fibrosis Scores and Electronic Reminder Messages

With this background, we aim to test the hypothesis that the use of simple fibrosis scores as part of a diabetes complications screening program followed by electronic reminder messages is more effective than usual care in prompting physicians to correctly identify patients with suspected NAFLD and advanced liver fibrosis for …

Combining Biomarkers (AFP AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II) and Image Tools for Early Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

In this study, three biomarkers tests (AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II) and abdominal sonography or CT scans are performed every 6 months to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) early in patients with cirrhosis, a high-risk group of HCC. The aim of this study is to confirm the early HCC diagnosis rate in …

Gadolinium Contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) vs. Standard Ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Surveillance in Patients With Cirrhosis

This study compares gadolinium contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) to standard ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) screening and surveillance in subjects with liver cirrhosis.

The Effect of Hepatic Impairment on Aprocitentan Pharmacokinetics

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-dose, Phase 1 study, to assess the effect of moderate hepatic impairment due to liver cirrhosis on the pharmacokinetics of aprocitentan (ACT-132577).
