FVIII/PC predicts complication risk in ACLD, but not coagulation potential

27 Jan 2022

In patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD), ratio of procoagulant factor VIII to anticoagulant protein C (FVIII/PC) is significantly prognostic of decompensation, death, and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), a new study has found. However, FVIII/PC is not related to thrombosis and does not reflect coagulation.

Risk of extrahepatic events high among NAFLD patients with severe liver scarring

21 Jan 2022

Among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the more severe the liver fibrosis, the higher the risk of developing extrahepatic events, a study has found. Specifically, the risk is low among patients with mild fibrosis, low but clinically relevant among those with moderate fibrosis, and high among those with severe to advanced fibrosis.

Visceral fat density shows stronger association with NAFLD incidence than visceral fat area

17 Jan 2022

The visceral fat area (VFA) index and visceral fat density (VFD) are independently related to the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), according to a study. However, the VFD appears to have a stronger link to the incidence of NAFLD than the VFA index.

Fenofibrate keeps lid on triglyceride in NASH patients receiving ACC inhibitor

13 Jan 2022 by

For nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients with hypertriglyceridaemia, treatment with fenofibrate helps reduce the increases in triglyceride levels associated with acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) inhibition, as shown in a study.

Autoimmune hepatitis ups 10-year risk of cancer

12 Jan 2022

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), a chronic inflammatory liver disease, appears to increase the 10-year risk of cancer by 1.5-fold relative to age- and sex-matched controls, a study has shown.

First-line cabozantinib-atezolizumab boosts PFS in advanced HCC

06 Jan 2022 by

The combination of cabozantinib and atezolizumab in the first-line setting significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), according to results of the phase III COSMIC-312 trial presented at ESMO Asia 2021.

Age does not affect survival after liver transplant

04 Jan 2022

While older recipients of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) appear to suffer from worse mortality outcomes, such deficiency may be attributable to clinical confounders, a recent study has found. In controlled analysis, older and younger patients show comparable long-term survival following LDLT.

Delayed tacrolimus dose reduction plus basiliximab yields better kidney function after liver transplant

04 Jan 2022

A delayed dose reduction of tacrolimus, along with induction of basiliximab, helps suppress kidney injury in liver transplant recipients, as opposed to standard-dose tacrolimus, a recent study has found. Such benefits come with no excess risk of rejection, graft loss, or death.
