Impact of fentanyl analgesia on the accuracy of HVPG measurements in patients with cirrhosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Haijun Zhang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fentanyl analgesia on HVPG measurement accuracy in patients with cirrhosis. The results showed that fentanyl analgesia did not alter the accuracy of HVPG measurement and improved patient comfort.

Impact of propofol sedation on the diagnostic accuracy of hepatic venous pressure gradient measurements in patients with cirrhosis

Fahim Ebrahimi et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the safety of propofol sedation during HVPG measurements, but highlighted potential alterations in HVPG readings. Results showed that some patients may be misclassified under sedation.

Refining the Baveno VI elastography criteria for the definition of compensated advanced chronic liver disease

Margarita Papatheodoridi et al.

Summary: The study found that, compared to the dual cut-offs of <10 and >15 kPa proposed by Baveno VI, the dual cut-offs of <8 kPa (or <7 kPa for viral hepatitis) and >12 kPa have better diagnostic accuracy in cACLD.

Measurement of liver and spleen stiffness as complementary methods for assessment of liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis

Maciej K. Janik et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that liver and spleen 2D-SWE are reliable complementary methods for diagnosing advanced fibrosis in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Spleen 2D-SWE appears to be less influenced by inflammation and could aid in fibrosis assessment in therapy-naive patients or those with active hepatitis.

Accuracy comparison of MR elastography and biological markers in detecting liver fibrosis and predicting postoperative ascites

Naoya Sato et al.

Summary: The study compared the discriminative performance of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and biological markers in detecting liver fibrosis and predicting postoperative ascites (PA). MRE demonstrated higher diagnostic performance than biological markers in detecting stages of liver fibrosis and predicting PA after hepatectomy. Different biological markers showed varying effectiveness in predicting postoperative ascites.

Transjugular Liver Biopsy with Hemodynamic Evaluation: Correlation between Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient and Histologic Diagnosis of Cirrhosis

Hector Ferral et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the correlation between hepatic vein pressure measurements and histologic findings, finding a significant association between hepatic venous pressure gradients and cirrhosis. HVPG and PSG showed high sensitivity and specificity for predicting cirrhosis at a cutoff point of 9mmHg, with no statistical difference between the two measurements.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of liver fibrosis and its regression

Tatiana Kisseleva et al.

Summary: Chronic liver injury results in liver inflammation and fibrosis, which can be reversed by eliminating activated myofibroblasts and resorbing the fibrous scar. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis and its reversibility can lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets for liver fibrosis treatment.
