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.

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.

Indices of liver fibrosis tied to diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes

30 Dec 2021

In people with type 2 diabetes, liver fibrosis, measured according to indices, may be associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), 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.

Drinking water may reduce NAFLD prevalence in men

22 Dec 2021

Higher intake of plain water appears to suppress newly diagnosed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among men but not women, a recent study has found.
