Almost three million people in the United States are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The life expectancy of patients with chronic HCV infection is reduced compared with thegeneral population, largely attributable to the development of cirrhosis, liver failure and cancer. Studies...
Drug-induced liver injury embraces a spectrum of clinical disease ranging from asymptomatic, liver test abnormalities to acute liver failure and to a lesser extent chronicity. Primary biliary cirrhosis is now recognised more frequently than previously because of the increased awareness of the condition ...
The prevalence of chronic liver disease is increasing in the elderly. More than two-thirds of all patients with liver disease in the Western world are due to alcohol liver disease (ALD) and hepatitis C virus occurring alone or in combination. Viral infections are the commonest cause of chronic...
Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is a life-threatening condition, and the lipid metabolism disorder is common in the development of this disease. EQ Chen,ML Wang,DM Zhang,... - 《Scientific Reports》 被引量: 1发表: 2017年 Plasma perfusion combined with ...
According to the study, "life expectancy at birth of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is estimated to be 11.5 years lower for men and 9.7 years lower for women than for other Australians," which Randall said is linked with heightened rate of multimorbidity. ...
Life expectancy of children with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) on home parenteral nutrition has greatly improved. Children are now able to grow into adulthood which requires transfer from pediatric to adult health care. A guideline for structured transition is lacking and the demand for a more ...
Acute liver failure may or may not be reversible, meaning that on occasion, there is a treatable cause and the liver may be able to recover and resume its normal functions. There are many types of liver disease. Liver disease caused by alcohol and cirrhosis ...
Longer life expectancy has led to a growing epidemic of kidney disease in the elderly (aged ≥65 years) and very elderly (aged ≥80 years). While much of t... AS Bomback,LC Herlitz,GS Markowitz - 《Adv Chronic Kidney Dis》 被引量: 23发表: 2012年 加载更多来源...
COPD is associated with a reduced lifespan. While there is no way to determine a person's exact life expectancy, it can be predicted using a tool called the BODE index. This index utilizes four measures: body mass index (BMI), airway obstruction, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and exerci...
By preventing future liver complications in responders, interferon treatment should prolong life expectancy and reduce costs. When compared with other well-accepted medical interventions, interferon treatment should be considered "cost-effective." Economic rationales should not restrict the availability of ...
