Laboratory values are needed for full computation of this score and could delay early goal-directed therapy for those suspected to have sepsis. Therefore, the quick SOFA scoring system is recommended until pending diagnostics are available (see Table 2). The quick SOFA incorporates altered mental ...

The decrease in the ascitic concentrations of both tracers followed a corresponding exponential decay in all patients, and the parameters of ascites dynamics determined by the two techniques (peritoneal volumes and clearance values) showed no statistical difference. We therefore suggest the use of the...
Assessment tools, markers, and techniques for cirrhosis prognosis. The figure summarizes a comprehensive overview of the progress in research on prognostic assessment tools for cirrhosis. With the rapid evolution of science and technology, the integration of advanced high-throughput sequencing, imaging tec...
The cut-off values were not consistent with those used in previous prognostic analyses. Moreover, there have been no studies on the prognostic value of apoAI or a prognostic model integrating apoAI in HBV-related ACLF and AD patients. Although prognostic role of apoAI have been investigated, ...
Even in the presence of decreased procoagulant factors and abnormal PT/INR values, cirrhosis patients do not spontaneously bleed mostly due to the fact that there is a concomitant decrease in anticoagulant factors such as protein C, protein S and antithrombin III (attributed to decreased hepatocyte ...
Values 1.1?g/dL are associated with neoplasia, tuberculosis, pancreatitis, or bile leak; the ascitic fluid should be tested, as indicated, for amylase, cytology, and mycobacterial culture. 腹水检查 If the absolute polymorphonuclear (PMN) count is 250/mm3 (percent PMN times total white blood ...
In addition, we retrospectively collected other variables, at admission to the WL (including time of abstinence before being admitted to the WL for patients with AUD), as well as the evolution of laboratory values and liver decompensations every 6 months whilst on the WL. Finally, we ...

We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for the indices at the time of cirrhosis diagnosis. We performed a multivariate analysis of predictors of APRI or FIB-4 positivity in patients with cirrhosis. Statistical analysis The Mann-Whitney rank-sum test was ...
