To investigate the efficacy of long term administration of salt-poor albumin in the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with ascites, we administered albumin for more than six months at regular intervals to nine cirrhotic patients who had been confirmed to have ascites for the first time, and maintained
OBJECTIVE
Extreme elevations of serum aminotransferases (EESAT), defined as alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) level of above 3000 U/L, reflect severe liver injury and poor outcomes of the patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, etiology and clinical outcomes
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic balloon dilation for the removal of common bile duct stone.
METHODS
Sixty-eight cases with common bile duct stone treated with percutaneous transhepatic balloon dilation in our department from July 2008 to April 2011 were
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and efficacy of trans-T tube duodenal papilla balloon dilatation for the removal of residual common bile duct stone after choledocholithotomy and T tube drainage.
METHODS
Thirteen cases with residual common bile duct stone treated with trans-T tube duodenal
OBJECTIVE
During choledocholitiasis inflammatory oxidant stress involves the promotion of mitochondrial dysfunction through an intracellular oxidant stress in hepatocytes leading mainly to necrosis and less to apoptosis. The product of oxidative stress, malondialdehyde (MDA), is extremely cytotoxic
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to identify the biochemical tests which could detect the presence of common bile duct stones in patients with symptomatic gallstones, without other invasive investigations. The usefulness of biochemical tests may reduce the necessity of endoscopic retrograde
Oscillating drop experiments with a drop profile analysis tensiometer provide the dilational elasticity and viscosity of surface layer. Model experiments for blood serum, composed of HSA and the non-ionic surfactant C(14)EO(8), are used to demonstrate the theoretical approach for calculating the
A multivariate analysis of 30 preoperative risk factors was undertaken in 248 patients who underwent surgery alone for common bile duct (CBD) stones and in 190 patients who had endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES), 77 of whom subsequently also had surgery. Independently significant risk factors in those
Although biliary tract surgery for cholelithiasis is performed frequently in Japan, cirrhotic patients require special consideration. Postoperative complications after biliary tract surgery were studied in 23 patients with liver cirrhosis and associated cholelithiasis, 9 of whom had no
Previous studies have suggested a direct relationship between the serum bilirubin level and the risk of operation. However, patients with high bilirubin levels are usually older and have associated conditions unrelated to jaundice that may contribute to the development of postoperative
Non-elective cholecystectomies can lead to severe postoperative complications and mortality. Existing risk prediction tools do not meet the need to reliably predict these complications.Using the 2011-2016 American College of Surgeons National Surgical BACKGROUND
Biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA) is a common surgical procedure performed for the management of biliary obstruction or leakage that results from a variety of benign and malignant diseases. Complications following BEA are not rare. We aimed to determine the incidence and the factors
Background. The present study sought and compared the utility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the elderly and younger people in a great sample of Iranian population. Methods. Our study involved 780 patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP at the
Cholangitis is the one of complications in post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post- ERCP). Few studies investigated risk factors for post-ERCP cholangitis and the results showed different outcomes.
The aim of the study was to determine the contributing risk factors for post-ERCP
Both acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) are common causes of jaundice. A co-occurrence of ACLF and AIHA is rare in clinical practice. This report describes a male elderly patient who developed persistently increased levels of total bilirubin and ascites
