AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) for the noninvasive evaluation of liver fibrosis
Liver biopsy is the recognized gold standard for liver fibrosis staging. The aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) has been proposed as a noninvasive and readily available tool for the assessment of l...
Serum cystatin C: a non-invasive marker of liver fibrosis or of current liver fibrogenesis in chronic hepatitis C?
Background. Serum levels of cystatin C, an endogenous inhibitor of cysteine proteases, provide an alternative method to creatinine-based criteria for measuring glomerular filtration rate. Preliminary data suggested that...
Diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography in liver transplant recipients: A pooled analysis
Background and aims. We conducted an individual participant data (IPD) pooled analysis on the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to detect fibrosis stage in liver transplant recipients. Materia...
Angiogenesis in chronic liver disease
Background: Chronic liver disease is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis. As a consequence angiogenesis leading to new vasculature may have prognostic value in disease progression. Interfering with angiogenesis ma...
Canadian national retrospective chart review comparing the long term effect of cyclosporine vs. tacrolimus on clinical outcomes in patients with post-liver transplantation hepatitis C virus infection
The transition from regular use of cyclosporine to the newer calcineurin-inhibitors, such as tacrolimus, has been suggested as a contributing factor to the “era effect” of worsening outcomes of post-transplant HCV recurr...
