BACKGROUND Organ failure increases mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. Data about resuscitated cardiac arrest patients with liver cirrhosis are missing. This study aims to assess aetiology, survival and functional outcome in patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with and without liver cirrhosis. METHODS Analysis of prospectively collected cardiac arrest registr...

BACKGROUND Hepatic encephalopathy has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (QoL) in liver cirrhosis. There are scarce and conflicting data on whether type or etiology of liver cirrhosis could be related to hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis. We aimed to determine the impact of cirrhosis etiology on hepatic encephalopathy and whether hepatic encephalopathy affects h...

Results and Conclusion: Out of 171 cirrhotic patients, dyslipidemia...

Patients with liver diseases have a higher risk of hemostatic disorders. Meanwhile, despite well-established opinion on low thromboses in cirrhosis, thromboembolic events cannot be totally ruled out these patients. Increased risks thrombotic and venous thromboembolism cirrhosis are accounted for by external (immobilization, surgeries, infections, comorbidities) internal factors (reduced synthes...

All subjects underwent abdominal ultrasound Dopplerography vessels, shear wave elastography, Arterial spin Labeling (ASL) — Perfusion by imaging. Post-processing images was carried o...

Liver cirrhosis is the fatal end stage of various chronic liver diseases. One of the most important causes of liver cirrhosis appears to be an impaired proliferative capability of hepatocytes caused by continuous hepatic damage. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its specific receptor, c-Met, play a pivotal role in hepatocyte proliferation. However, the relationship between the proliferative ca...

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, both in adults and in children. nafld represents a spectrum of liver diseases that range from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. however, nafld is more prevalent in overweight and obese individuals. evidence thus far suggests that hepatic triglyceride accumulaâ­tion is not always derive...

conclusions abnormal dexa was highly prevalent among patients with cirrhosis. the risk of this finding was increased by lower vitamin d levels, advanced disease, and impaired renal function. objectives we aimed to investigate bone loss in patients with cirrhosis at different anatomical sites and key factors that might affect it. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, 97 patients wi...
