1. Aim- To compare the efficacy of albumin when compared to placebo in the development or progression of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis who are at low risk for AKI development (i.e Serum Bilirubin <4 mg/dL and serum creatinine < 1 mg/dl at presentation) -

Aim To compare the effect of Early initiation of Terlipressin (ET arm) to albumin at 12 hour in ACLF patients with non-volume responsive AKI versus standard Terlipressin (ST arm) at 48 hours. Primary Objective Efficacy of early terlipressin infusion in comparison to Standard treatment for resolution

This is a Phase 2, , randomized (1:1:1), placebo-controlled, 2-weeks, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the mechanistic effect of oral administration of potent inhibitor of neutrophil elastase(Inhaled All trans retinoic acid and inhaled isotretinoin in

The study aims are: - Task 1: pathophysiological characterization of CFRD with assessment of the relative contribution of the insulin resistance and the β-cellular secretion impairment through the use of a Minimum Model applied to OGTT for the evaluation of insulin sensitivity and secretion - Task

We will determine the incidence of virologic and clinical reactivation of HBV during DAA treatment for CHC, in two prophylactic groups versus control group. We will also examine whether extending the duration of prophylactic NUC would be more beneficial than the 3-month prophylaxis regimen. Patients

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome in the general population, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease. NAFLD refers to a wide spectrum of liver damage, ranging from simple steatosis to

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

- In the last part of the previous century the increasing knowledge about the cardiovascular abnormalities that occur in advanced cirrhosis led researchers to design prospective randomized clinical trials assessing the effect of exogenous human albumin (HA) based on its well-established capacity to

Subjects: Patient recruitment will be performed at the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Metabolism at the Internal Clinic of the First Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University and the Military University Hospital in Prague (MUH Prague). The selection of sample set sizes is

The decrease in functional capacity is a finding that affects quality of life in chronic liver diseases. In a study, 6 Minute Walk Test was associated with mortality in patients with cirrhosis and survival was lower in patients walking less than 250 meters. Malnutrition is a common complication of

The purpose of this single center, prospective study is to compare the efficacy of two strategies for diuresis in patients with cirrhosis, the use of furosemide (Lasix®) alone versus the combination of furosemide (Lasix ®) and albumin (25%). The investigators will perform a single-center,

Specific aims of this study : 1. To examine the influences of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage on the serological or urinary level of novel renal biomarkers in patients with cirrhosis. 2. To investigate the ability of novel biomarkers to predict the development of acute kidney injury and the

BACKGROUND: Strong evidence suggests that human albumin solutions should not be used for fluid resuscitation except among patients undergoing therapeutic plasmapheresis and select patients with complications of liver cirrhosis (i.e. spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or large volume ascitic fluid

The day of the study patients undergo a routine clinical evaluation. Whole blood samples are collected from an antecubital vein to assess serum/plasma aliquots of 200 μl each (frozen at -80°C until required for quantitation) for evaluation of biochemical parameters (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid
