non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/phosphatase

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

This cross-sectional study was conducted on employees working for the Benha University Hospitals, Qalubeyia Governorate, Egypt. The study population comprised both male and female employees (20 to 60 years old) with no history of viral hepatitis(HBV,HCV) and autoimmune-liver diseases such as primary

The study will be conducted in compliance with International Standard good clinical practices (GCPs) and the Declaration of Helsinki. The protocol was approved by local Institutional Review Board and registered in clinical trials.gov. Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation Blood counts and liver

The sample size was selected based on the number of obese patients who underwent SG at our Bariatric Center of Excellence IFSO-EC over the last 12 months, and the end-time of evaluation was estimated independently due to the lack of high evidence-based studies, such as randomized trials or

The purpose of the present clinical trial is to study the effect of somatostatin in the regulation of blood flow of the portal circulation at patients who have undergone hepatectomy. The patients will be randomized in two groups, namely the group that will receive somatostatin (study group) and the

Introduction TheraSphere® TheraSphere® consists of insoluble glass microspheres where Y-90 is an integral constituent of the glass. The mean sphere diameter ranges from 20 to 30 µm. Each milligram contains between 22,000 and 73,000 microspheres. TheraSphere® is supplied in 0.6 mL of sterile,

The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity and its associated complications represent an enormous burden for obese individuals, their families, healthcare systems and societies. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a frequent and serious complication of obesity.

Study design: This is a prospective not controlled, not randomized, unicentric study to establish predictive biomarkers for a safe and effective treatment withdrawal in patients with type 1 AIH. Length of the study: Screening is expected to take a year. Treatment withdrawal will be done gradually

Chronic delta hepatitis is a serious form of chronic liver disease caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV), a small RNA virus that requires farnesylation of its major structural protein (HDV antigen) for replication. Based on previous and ongoing clinical trials demonstrating

Sarcoidosis is a relatively rare, poorly defined autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of sterile granulomas in affected organs, including the liver. The diagnosis of hepatic sarcoid is often presumed based upon an elevated liver-specific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase or imaging

In this randomized clinical trial (RCT) will include adult outpatients linked to the Gastroenterology Service of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (Hospital of Clinics of Porto Alegre-HCPA) -Brazil with diagnosis of NAFLD confirmed by biopsy and transient elastography. Patients who are

A few small studies have shown that a predominantly olive oil based IVLE is well tolerated and safe, however the clinical relevance of this IVLE is uncertain as no clear benefit in outcomes has been observed in small randomized clinical trials. Given the limited data available for the adult

Surgery and anesthesia are stressful events, thus there is a possibility that liver enzymes and bilirubin may increase postoperatively. Mild elevations of serum aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, or bilirubin levels are frequent after surgical procedures, whether performed under general or

Bowel cancer, or colorectal cancer (CRC), is the second most common cancer affecting both men and women in England. The majority of CRCs develop from a pre-cancerous type of growth in the bowel called an adenoma. Detecting and removing these adenomas is important in reducing CRC risk. A study which

HYPOTHESIS: - The prognosis of cACLD patients who achieve SVR will improve during follow-up and this will be reflected in an improvement in liver and spleen stiffness and reduction of liver-related events. However, on an individual basis, because of many confounding factors, predictability is
