The incidence and prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is growing worldwide, leading to high mortality rates. The disease occurs mainly in cirrhotic patients, and the cure can be reached only when it is diagnosed early or when the tumor is submitted to adjuvant therapies to reduce the tumor size, being the transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) the most used approach to achieve ...
Osteoporosis is the only complication of liver cirrhosis that persists even after liver transplantation. It is a common complication among cirrhotic patients, increasing the risk of fractures and thus affecting morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are needed to avoid fractures and disability. The treatment requires nutritional supplementation of calcium an...
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious complication of cirrhosis. The swelling of astrocytes, caused by the conversion of ammonia to glutamine into the brain, is a leading cause of persistent HE, impairing the cerebral blood flow. It has been shown that alkalemia is a trigger for HE, but few studies have evaluated the serum pH in these patients.The use of branched chain amino acids (B...
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a highly prevalent disease in patients addicted to alcohol. AH mortality is high, ranging from 30-50% during the first 28 days of hospitalization. The signs and symptoms are varied and not very specific because many of them can be already seen in cirrhotic patients. Laboratory tests are essential for grading AH severity, thus indicating a liver biopsy only if...
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is an inherited debilitating neurodegenerative disease that is irreversible and potentially fatal. Unfortunately, the disease is often diagnosed too late, years after its first manifestations, especially when the patient is the first confirmed case in the family, causing sensorimotor symptoms and progressive autonomic neuropathy. T...
Liver cirrhosis is a relevant illness regarding worldwide morbidity and mortality and most patients have esophageal varices. Many studies have shown that osteoporosis is the only cirrhosis complication that keeps worsening after liver transplantation. Thus, the only way to avoid fractures due to bone loss is to combine early diagnosis and proper treatment, which is composed by calcium a...
Introduction: Patients with liver cirrhosis have bone loss generated by various mechanisms, such as low intake of nutrients and lack of physical activity. At the same time, the bone treatment is often avoided in this population, particularly in advanced cirrhosis, due to the presence of esophageal varices. Objectives: To evaluate whether patients with cirrhosis and osteoporosis would be...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common tumor originated in the liver. It is the 5th most common type of malignancy, and the 3rd largest cause of death from cancer. During the last two decades, HCC incidence has grown, and it is estimated that the prevalence continue to rise due to the increase of chronic liver diseases such as chronic viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption and ...
