The Assessment and Management of Pain in CirrhosisCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 17 - Trang 42-51 - 2018
Matthew Klinge, Tami Coppler, Jane M. Liebschutz, Mohannad Dugum, Ajay Wassan, Andrea DiMartini, Shari Rogal
The treatment of pain in patients with cirrhosis is complicated by unpredictable
hepatic drug metabolism and a higher risk of adverse drug reactions. We aimed to
conduct a scoping review regarding pain management in cirrhosis. Despite the
high prevalence of pain in patients with cirrhosis, there is little literature
to guide the management of pain in this population. Complex pain syndromes and

Evidence-Based Approach to Stopping Oral Antiviral Therapy in Chronic HBVCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 18 - Trang 512-521 - 2019
Maximilian Wübbolding, Markus Cornberg, Christoph Höner zu Siederdissen
To review the evidence for stopping antiviral therapy with nucleos(t)ide
analogues (NA) in patients with chronic hepatitis B. HBsAg loss is usually
stable even without anti-HBs seroconversion after stopping NA therapy. About 50%
of HBeAg-positive patients who have achieved anti-HBe seroconversion and have
stopped NA therapy remain in virological remission. Consolidation therapy
increases the respo... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Direct-Acting Antiviral Failures in Chronic Hepatitis C InfectionCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 15 - Trang 296-306 - 2016
Kevin Tin, Eiei Soe, James Park
Direct-acting antiviral agents have revolutionized the treatment for chronic
hepatitis C infection with very high cure rates. Treatment failures are commonly
due to non-adherence and relapse but less often to viral breakthrough while on
therapy. Resistance-associated variants have also emerged to be a culprit for
treatment failures. Optimal retreatment regimens in patients who fail
direct-acting a... hiện toàn bộ
Exercise as Medicine: The Impact of Exercise Training on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 19 - Trang 402-411 - 2020
Audrey Thorp, Jonathan G. Stine
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of global liver
disease. Because current pharmacologic treatments are ineffective, lifestyle
change centered on exercise remains the most effective NAFLD treatment. The aim
of this systematic review is to summarize and evaluate the current evidence
supporting the use of exercise training as a medical treatment for adult
patients with NAFL... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease on Chronic Hepatitis B InfectionCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 16 - Trang 97-104 - 2017
Anthony W.H. Chan, Grace L.H. Wong, Vincent W.S. Wong
Both chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are
frequent liver diseases with substantial morbidity and mortality. How often do
these two diseases occur together? Does hepatitis B virus protect or promote
concurrent fatty liver? How does concurrent fatty liver influence the clinical
outcomes of CHB? We summarized the latest evidence to tackle all these
clinically si... hiện toàn bộ
New Tools for the Noninvasive Assessment of CirrhosisCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 13 - Trang 14-23 - 2014
Bogdan Procopet, Annalisa Berzigotti
The diagnosis of cirrhosis and portal hypertension is critical for the correct
management and follow-up of patients with chronic liver disease. Non-invasive
methods to safely replace liver biopsy and hepatic venous pressure gradient
measurement have been increasingly studied in the last 20 years. This review
summarizes the available data regarding validated non-invasive methods to
diagnose cirrhos... hiện toàn bộ
Innovative Care Models in Liver Disease: the Role of Multidisciplinary TeamsCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 17 - Trang 193-199 - 2018
Avegail Flores, Chanda K. Ho, Sumeet K. Asrani
Patients with chronic liver disease have diverse healthcare and psychosocial
needs across a multitude of care domains. Incorporation of multidisciplinary
teams (MDT) enhances care coordination between physician, patient, and other
healthcare providers. A MDT approach may be beneficial to provide comprehensive
care for all cirrhotics. MDT are successfully used for management of
hepatocellular carci... hiện toàn bộ
Hepatitis C and Hepatocellular CarcinomaCurrent Hepatology Reports - Tập 15 - Trang 291-295 - 2016
Janice Jou, Willscott E. Naugler
With the significant burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) attributable to
hepatitis C (HCV), prevention of HCC should first and foremost include treatment
of hepatitis C. At the very least, any patient who is at risk for liver disease
progression to advanced fibrosis should have HCV treated. This is potentially
one of the single most important interventions that can be employed long-term to
