Outcome of Phlebotomy on Improvement of Liver Enzymes and Steatosis in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Background and Objective: Iron overload in the liver can potentially induce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we sought to evaluate the phlebotomy in NAFLD, and compare it with modifiedlife style. Materials and Methods: This randomized, single-blind, clinical trial was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of phlebotomy on liver enzymes and steatosis in NAFLD patients. F...
متن کاملLiver stiffness measurement predicts liver-related events in patients with chronic hepatitis C: A retrospective study
The management of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) depends on their clinical stage. Thus, noninvasive early recognition of patients with CHC at high risk for developing liver-related events (LREs) is important because it ensures optimal preventative management strategies may be employed that can affect the course of CHC disease. Our aim was to determine whether liver stiffness measuremen...
متن کاملLiver Stiffness by Transient Elastography Predicts Liver-Related Complications and Mortality in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
BACKGROUND Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) is a validated method for noninvasively staging liver fibrosis. Most hepatic complications occur in patients with advanced fibrosis. Our objective was to determine the ability of LSM by TE to predict hepatic complications and mortality in a large cohort of patients with chronic liver disease. METHODS In con...
متن کاملMeal ingestion markedly increases liver stiffness suggesting the need for liver stiffness determination in fasting conditions.
INTRODUCTION The introduction of noninvasive liver stiffness (LS) determination has heralded a new stage in the diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis. AIM We evaluated the effect of food intake on LS in patients with different degrees of liver disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated 24 patients (F≤1, n=11 and F> 1, n=13). LS (Fibroscan®) and portal blood flow (PBF) (Doppler ultrasoun...
متن کاملQuantitative Shear-Wave Elastography of the Liver in Preterm Neonates with Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction
The feasibility and reproducibility of liver stiffness measurements using Supersonic Shear-wave Imaging (SSI) in preterm neonate have not been reported. Our aim was to determine if liver stiffness differs between intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) preterm infants with/without cholestasis. We measured liver stiffness (in kPa) in 45 AGA and 18 IUGR p...
