Background. Alcoholic liver disease is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and the hepatorenal syndrome is a serious complication. Risk factors for hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in alcoholic liver cirrhosis are not entirely explored. Aim. To assess the risk factors for hepatorenal syndrome in alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Patients and Methods. Consecutive patients with alcoholic liver disease were follo...

BACKGROUND Deaths from liver cirrhosis have increased at least 8 fold since the 1970's in the UK and further increases are anticipated, whereas in the rest of Europe liver deaths are decreasing. In the UK, we urgently need strategies to detect those who misuse alcohol and are at risk of developing alcoholic liver disease before they get to that point. One potential strategy is to screen admissi...

metabolome analysis is used to evaluate the characteristics and interactions of low molecular weight metabolites under a specific set of conditions. in cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and non-alcoholic steatotic hepatitis (nash) the  liver  does not function thoroughly due to long-term damage. unfortunately the early detection of cirrhosis, hcc, na...

Peripheral blood and hepatic tissue T- and B-lymphocyte distributions, serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) concentrations, and hepatic AFP were studied in 46 patients undergoing diagnostic percutaneous liver biopsy. The patients included 26 with alcoholic liver disease, 13 with nonalcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis, and 7 with either normal histology or minor nonspecific changes. Serum AFP was determin...

The paper deals with the results of study effect 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate (Elfunat) on erythroid lineage in patients alcoholic liver cirrhosis and a history gastroesophageal variceal bleeding. compared impact central nervous system blood values. this are important for management anemia encephalopathy category patients.

Although alcohol abuse is the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in the United States, the enhancing effects of alcohol on the long-term prognosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) related liver cirrhosis has not been clarified. To investigate how alcohol abuse influences the prognosis of hepatitis virus related liver cirrhosis, we studied 716 Japanese patients. Cumulative survival and hepatocellula...

Noninvasive screening for liver cirrhosis in patients addicted to drugs or alcohol has been a continuing problem in internal and addictive medicine. This has dramatically changed with the recent introduction of transient elastography (Fibroscan) to directly measure liver stiffness (LS). This novel technique is expanding rapidly around the globe since it allows the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis i...

Introduction: Alcoholism is a major public health problem, which has a high social cost and affects many aspects of human activity. Liver disease is one of the first consequences of alcohol abuse, and steatosis, liver cirrhosis and hepatitis may occur. Other organs are also affected with pathological changes, such as pancreatitis, cardiomyopathies, dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis. Objective...
