relationship between liver disease stage and liver fibrosis: a tangled web The structural consequences of chronic liver disease are described as a series of liver disease 'stages' with scarring and architectural change that eventually destroys and replaces the normal lobular structure of the liver. ...
The relationship between baseline fibrosis stage and the composite outcome of ESLD, HCC, or liver-related death was similar to that observed for all-cause mortality (Figure 1B; log-rank test, P < .001; P for trend <.001). Patients with cirrhosis had the highest incidence rate of liver ...
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...

Invasive and non-invasive monitoring of hepatitis C virus-induced liver fibrosis: alternatives or complements? Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in the development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in 20 to 25% of patients. The main task of the physici... Olga,Nikolai - 《Current...
Estimation of stage-specific fibrosis progression rates in chronic hepatitis C virus infection: a meta-analysis and meta-regression. Published estimates of liver fibrosis progression in individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are heterogeneous. We aimed to estimate sta... H Thein,...

“NASH with liver fibrosis puts patients at risk of progressing to liver failure, liver cancer, need for liver transplant and premature mortality,” study investigator Stephen Harrison, MD, of Pinnacle Clinical Research and Summit Clinical Research in San Antonio, said in the press release. “With...
