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.

Chronic air pollution exposure ups MAFLD risk

01 Jan 2022

Prolonged exposure to ambient air levels of particulate matter ≤1 µm (PM1), ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5), and ≤10 µm (PM10), as well as of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), appears to aggravate the likelihood of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), a recent study has found.

Urinary L-FABP predicts 3-month mortality, complications in decompensated cirrhosis

25 Dec 2021

In patients with decompensated cirrhosis, high urinary levels of the liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) appear to predict the risk of mortality and of acute-on-chronic liver failure, a recent study has found.

New algorithm predicts HCC risk in compensated advanced chronic liver disease

19 Dec 2021

A novel algorithm using post-treatment age, albumin, and liver stiffness measurement (LSM), among other parameters, can accurately stratify patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) according to their de novo hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, a new study shows.

Increased serum iron may hint at HCC risk in NAFLD patients

07 Dec 2021 by

Increased serum iron or transferrin saturation levels in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may point to an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), according to a study presented at The Liver Meeting Digital Experience™.
