It remains unknown whether liver fibrosis stage influences the CHF risk or if HIV or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection modifies this association. Our objectives were to assess whether 1) stage of liver fibrosis is independently associated with incident CHF and 2) the association between stage of...
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 ...
Liver fibrosis is common, particularly in human immunodeficiency virus infected (HIV+) people. HIV+ people have excess congestive heart failure (CHF) risk compared to uninfected people. It remains unknown if stage of liver fibrosis influences the CHF risk or if HIV or hepatitis C virus (HCV) ...
Liver fibrogenesis is intimately associated with activation of HSCs, and the fibrolytic process is accompanied by the reduction of the activated HSCs. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of this method to assess the severity of liver fibrosis and the reversal after the fibrotic ...

fibrosis(P0.05).HVAT,VAT,VVT correlated negatively with the development of fibrosis(P0.01).The correlation coefficient of VVT was highest(r=-0.88).Conclusion HVAT,VAT,VVT are closely associated with the stage of liver fibrosis,especially VAT,VVT can evaluate the stage of liver fibrosis ...
Liver fibrosis is a serious complication associated with chronic injury, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, and contributes to a further impairment of liver function. Up till now, no antifibrotic drugs are available and therefore patients with end-stage liver fibrosis...
The individual score tells you what is the urgency of undergoing a liver transplant during the next 90 days (three months). If you're looking for more hepatology-related tools, try our: Child-Pugh calculator; and FIB-4 calculator for fibrosis score. Laboratory tests required If you want to...
The assay was evaluated in serum from a cross-sectional biopsy-controlled study of 281 patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and 50 gender, age and BMI matched healthy controls (HC). All liver biopsies from ALD patients were scored by one pathologist according to fibrosis stage (...
