hepatic veno-occlusive disease/アルブミン

We retrospectively analyzed the incidence and risk factors for veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in 83 consecutive children with solid tumors, who underwent autologous blood or bone marrow (BM) transplantation at UCSF between 1992 and 2000. Forty-one patients were diagnosed with neuroblastoma and 42 had

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of ligustrazine on hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) induced by Gynura segetum and the possible mechanism of it. METHODS Female Kunming mice (115) were randomly divided into four groups, gavaged with 30 g/kg per day Gynura segetum (group A), 30

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) is a clinical syndrome characterized as hepatomegaly, ascites, jaundice and elevation of hepatic enzymes as an outcome from fibrous obliteration of small centrilobular hepatic venules. It is recognized as a rare but life-threatening complication of organ

Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Patients with VOD are often critically ill and require close collaboration between transplant physicians and intensivists. We surveyed members of a consortium of pediatric intensive

BACKGROUND Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) caused by Gynura segetum has been increasingly reported in China in recent years. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify independent prognostic markers for survival in patients with Gynura segetum-induced HVOD and to evaluate the effect

At our center, we observed a series of patients who developed transudative refractory ascites secondary to noncirrhotic, non-veno-occlusive disease (VOD)-related portal hypertension after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Patients were considered to have idiopathic

OBJECTIVE To describe the relationship between the resistance index of the common hepatic artery and liver function tests in children undergoing bone marrow transplantation. METHODS We analysed prospectively the results of 106 Doppler ultrasound examinations of the common hepatic artery from 31 bone

Wide albumin gradient (transudative) ascites is usually due to liver disease but may also result from many other disorders, including heart failure, hepatic infiltration by tumor, hepatic vein thrombosis, and veno-occlusive disease. It has not been linked with small bowel obstruction. Narrow albumin

METHODS Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) was used in three consecutive critically ill patients at the Singapore General Hospital with advanced malignancy and acute liver failure (ALF). Case 1 was a male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for which initial right hepatectomy

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver is a common complication following high-dose cytotoxic therapy for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The major pathological changes are seen in centrilobular (zone 3) hepatocytes and adjacent endothelium. Glutathione (GSH) becomes depleted following

OBJECTIVE The management of hepatic venous outflow obstruction, usually known as Budd-Chiari syndrome, remains complex despite a variety of treatments. METHODS We present the results from 16 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome who underwent dorsocranial liver resection and direct hepatoatrial

BACKGROUND Human liver has an unusual sensitivity to radiation that limits its use in cancer therapy or in preconditioning for hepatocyte transplantation. Because the characteristic veno-occlusive lesions of radiation-induced liver disease do not occur in rodents, there has been no experimental

BACKGROUND Renal insufficiency is a common complication early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Over the past several years, significant advancement has been achieved in HSCT, especially in nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation. Compared with traditional HSCT,
