Nutritional support may play an important role in management of liver cirrhosis (LC) associated with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Total protein and albumin deteriorate in patients with LC undergoing trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Therefore, in this study, we examined the

1. Pirfenidone (PFD; 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridone) is an effective and novel agent with antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, we investigated the antifibrotic effects of PFD on experimental liver fibrosis models in rodents and the possible underlying molecular

Glycated albumin (GA), an Amadori product used as a marker of hyperglycemia and the early-stage glycation products compared to AGEs, might further promote kidney lesions in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanisms how GA cause proximal tubular cells damage remain poorly understood. In this

OBJECTIVE Impaired retinol status may be associated with development of cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Besides cirrhotic severity, retinol may be influenced by compromised nutrition status. This study investigated the interrelations among retinol, malnutrition, and severity of

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), and the effect of intravenous albumin for prophylaxis of CIN in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 81 subjects

During steady state the overall lymphatic return rate of albumin equals the transvascular escape rate of albumin [TERalb, i.e. the fraction of intravascular mass of albumin (IVMalb) passing to the extravascular space per unit time] provided local back-transport is negligible, as previously

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin(GA) in hyperglycemia patients with liver cirrhosis (LCH). METHODS One hundred LCH patients were divided into anemia and no-anemia group by Hb 110 g/L. The no-anemia group was further divided into

In efforts to understand mechanisms of liver dysfunction in cirrhosis, transcription of specific genes important to liver function has been measured in the rat model of CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis. The relative transcription rates of albumin, alpha-fetoprotein and pro-alpha 1-collagen genes were

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy of 20% albumin infusion on coagulation and pulmonary fibrosis in rabbits with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by two-hit of intravenous infusion of oleid acid (OA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS Forty healthy adult male rabbits were

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of low dose Albumin i.e. 4 grams per litre of ascitic fluid after large volume paracentesis (LVP) for the prevention of paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) related renal impairment in cirrhosis. METHODS Case records of all patients with cirrhosis who

The study included 190 patients divided in to 5 groups: 20 normal as healthy control complaining of dyspepsia, GERD etc., 20 patients positive HCV without cirrhosis or varices, 50 patients compensated cirrhosis with varices, 50 patients decompensated cirrhosis with varices and 50 patients with

Prediction of survival of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) has been based on results of blood tests and other indices of clinical condition, which may be affected by treatment. We earlier evaluated hepatic receptor imaging with 99mTc galactosyl human serum albumin as an alternative
