Renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis causes significant morbidity, and clinically appears as acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure (CRF), and CRF on AKI. The main causes of renal dysfunction are preren...

// was proposed that somatostatin and octreotide can drive the splanchic blood into general circulation by constricting the splanchnic vessels and may ameliorate impaired functions in cirrhotic patients by their inhibito...

Traditional hepatology conceptualizes liver cirrhosis as the linear accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the stagnation of fibrosis reversal and the persistent risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) despi...

Genetic hemochromatosis (GH) and alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD)  are two autosomal recessive disorders associated with an increased risk for liver injury. Among different AATD and GH genotypes, the M-Malton...

OBJECTIVE: End-stage kidney disease and advanced cirrhosis are sometimes seen concomitantly. Our purpose was to compare hemodialysis (HD) sessions in critically ill cirrhotic patients from ICU versus stable cirrhotic pat...

Abstract Liver cirrhosis represents a progressive vascular and metabolic disease, which results due to chronic inflammatory injury to the tissues and presents with aberrant tissue regeneration, fibrosis with nodular conf...

Background and aimsLiver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have a key role in maintaining organismal homeostasis by scavenging blood-borne molecules and inducing specific immune tolerance to ingested antigens. The sca...

Liver cirrhosis is characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components, including hyaluronan (HA). In addition, cirrhosis is considered a pre-neoplastic disease for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC...

Abstract Background China bears a high burden of both hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM accelerates the progression of liver disease among individuals infected with HBV. This stu...

OBJECTIVE: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the history and awareness of hepatitis in HD patients with viral hepatitis who were followed up at our center and in different provinces. MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of ...
