1. Aim- To compare the efficacy of albumin when compared to placebo in the development or progression of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis who are at low risk for AKI development (i.e Serum Bilirubin <4 mg/dL and serum creatinine < 1 mg/dl at presentation)

We will determine the incidence of virologic and clinical reactivation of HBV during DAA treatment for CHC, in two prophylactic groups versus control group. We will also examine whether extending the duration of prophylactic NUC would be more beneficial than the 3-month prophylaxis regimen.

Since the 1960s, Liver Transplantation (LT) has emerged as a cornerstone intervention to cure liver failure. Mortality in patients with liver failure who cannot be rescued with Liver Transplantation remains high despite improvements in supportive care.
Artificial Liver Support System (ALSS) in ALF
Rationale and background:
Ceftobiprole is a beta-lactam antibiotic with bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, that was developed to treat patients with pneumonia both in a hospital or community setting. Clinical trials were conducted in adult
This is a prospective, observational, descriptive, clinical study.
This is a single centre study. All patients admitted to the South West Liver Unit with decompensated cirrhosis will be screened according to their serum creatinine (sCr) level taken as part of standard of care at admission or during
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) lacks a consensus definition and definitive management approaches. The various management strategies include treatment of acute insult, support of multiple organ systems and disease-specific medications such as antivirals for hepatitis B, steroids for alcoholic
Ascites in liver cirrhosis is explained by increased production of vasoactive substances, such as nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, and endocannabinoids, which cause splanchnic vasodilatation, increased blood flow through this area, and a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and the effective
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute deterioration of chronic liver diseases, which progresses rapidly, with a mortality rate of more than 50%. Liver transplantation is the only therapy that has been proven beneficial, but the number of liver donor is limited. MELD score is used to
Products or Devices to be Studied:
Branched Chain Amino Acid anhydrous blend (1250mg valine, 2500mg leucine, 1250mg isoleucine) Pre-assigned IND number: 140871 Holder of the IND (Richard Marshall, MD)

Aim: To evaluate the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)
Double-blind clinical trial.
Two groups:
- GROUP A (standard treatment): Prednisone 40 mg a day + Placebo (manufactured by the same laboratory with the same presentation and physical appearance as the nanoemulsified pomegranate seed oil rich in Omega 5 fatty acid)
- GROUP B (combined treatment):
Approximately 380 subjects with cirrhosis, ACLF, and high risk of hospital mortality (ACLF-1b, ACLF-2, or ACLF-3a) will be included in this study after obtaining written informed consent. In case of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), written informed consent will be obtained from a relative or a legally
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing over time among the HIV-infected population, and is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected individuals. Despite effective treatment for HBV and HCV infections, HCC is still reported in treated
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a highly prevalent neuro-cognitive complication of cirrhosis characterized by cognitive dysfunction, and high rate of subsequent mortality and recurrence. HE also places a tremendous burden with a relentless increase in inpatient stay duration with charges topping
Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has
Study design This prospective, multi-center, parallel, centrally randomized controlled trial was designed in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) guidelines, which is led by the
