Higher values in liver elastography and meld score are mortality predictors on liver transplant waiting list

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Liver elastography have been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with higher values; however, it is unclear to identify morbimortality risk on liver transplantation waiting list. Aim: To assess liver stiffness, ultrasound and clinical findings in cirrhotic patients with and...

Reduction of venous pressure during the resection of liver metastases compromises enteric blood flow: IGFBP-1 as a novel biomarker of intestinal barrier injury

Clinics; 72 (10), 2017
OBJECTIVES: Disruption of the intestinal barrier and bacterial translocation commonly occur when intestinal blood flow is compromised. The aim of this study was to determine whether liver resection induces intestinal damage. METHODS: We investigated intestinal fatty-acid binding protein and insulin-like...

Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Impact of Wait Time at a Single Center

Ann. hepatol; 16 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction and aim. Liver transplantation (LT) provides durable survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is continuing debate concerning the impact of wait time and acceptable tumor burden on outcomes after LT. We sought to review outcomes of LT for HCC at a single, large U...

Open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted hepatectomy in resection of liver tumors: a non-systematic review

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction: Several factors have made hepatectomy an increasingly safe surgery and new drugs allowed surgical treatment for patients who initially were not candidates for resection. Lesions often require resection, which can be performed by open, laparoscopic, or robotic assisted hepatectomy....

Right Hepatic Lobe Resection and Thrombocytopenia

Ann. hepatol; 16 (1), 2017
Abstract: Thrombocytopenia has previously been reported after right lobe resection for organ donation. The mechanism(s) of low platelets after right hepatectomy is unclear and several hypotheses have been proposed including a decrease in thrombopoietin, and hepatic insufficiency resulting in relative por...
