METHODS: Liver fibrosis of different stages was induced by thioacetamide (TAA) injection for 2, 4 and 6weeks (n=6 for each time point). Another 6 rats with 8-week TAA administration (the 8-week group) and 6 rats which were injected with TAA for 6weeks, and then withdrawn of TAA for...
Liver disease is prevalent worldwide. When it reaches the end stage, mortality rises to 50% or more. Although liver transplantation has emerged as the most efficient treatment for end-stage liver disease, its application has been limited by the scarcity of donor livers. The lack of acceptable ...

Liver fibrosis is common, particularly in individuals who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV-infected individuals have excess congestive heart failure (CHF) risk compared with uninfected people. It remains unknown whether liver fibrosis stage influences the CHF risk or if HIV ...
1 There is an association between liver fibrosis and incident heart failure (HF).2 The mechanisms for this association, currently unclear, may be of particular importance for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis C, both of which are chronic infections with ...
Objective To study the clinical application value of evaluating chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis withcontrast enhanced ultrasound and to filter the close parameters.Methods The study included 38 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 8 healthy controls.Under the mode of pulse-inversion harmonic imaging...
While liver transplantation remains the most effective treatment for liver fibrosis, its limited availability and high cost hinder its widespread adoption among patients with liver fibrosis. Despite advances in the treatment of HCV in recent year, the treatment of HCV-induced liver cirrhosis remains ...
Timely and effective diagnosis and treatment of patients with liver fibrosis can prevent or delay the progression to cirrhosis or end-stage liver disease (ESLD). However, the liver is a “silent” organ followed by asymptomatic in the early liver fibrosis stage. There has a habit of seeing a...
Changes in the hormone levels in physiological fluids and renal tissue can suggest kidney fibrosis and serve as an indication for changes in the therapeutic strategy in the CKD treatment. Below, we discuss if the hormones controlling the water-salt balance and blood pressure can be used as marker...
