Safety, complications and outcome of large volume paracentesis with or without albumin therapy in children with severe ascites due to liver disease. J Hepatol. 2015 Nov; 63(5):1126-32. Abstract BACKGROUND & AIMS: There are currently no published data on post-paracentesis circulatory dysfunction (PPCD) or its prevention in children. Our study was aimed to analyze the safety and complications of large volume paracentesis (LVP) in children with severe ascites due to chronic liver disease with or without albumin therapy.

Prothrombotic genetic risk factors are associated with an increased risk of liver fibrosis in the general population: The Rotterdam Study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26226452 Cirrhosis Plompen EP, Darwish Murad S, Hansen BE, Loth DW, Schouten JN, Taimr P, Hofman A, Uitterlinden AG, Stricker BH, Janssen HL, Leebeek FW. Prothrombotic genetic risk factors are associated with an increased risk of liver fibrosis in the general population: The Rotterdam Study. J Hepatol. 2015 Dec; 63(6):1459-65. Abstract BACKGROUND & AIMS: The coagulation system is known to be involved in fibrogenesis in patients with liver disease. We investigated whether common genetic prothrombotic risk factors are associated with an increased risk of fibrosis in the general population.

Association of baseline vitamin D levels with clinical parameters and treatment outcomes in chronic hepatitis B. J Hepatol. 2015 Nov; 63(5):1086-92. Abstract BACKGROUND & AIMS: The relationship between vitamin D levels and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection and treatment outcomes are poorly elucidated. We measured pre-treatment serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D3; 25[OH]D3) levels and determined their association with clinical parameters and treatment outcomes in active CHB patients without advanced liver disease enrolled in a global clinical trial.

Zinc Therapy for Wilson Disease in Children in French Pediatric Centers http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26230903 Santiago R, Gottrand F, Debray D, Bridoux L, Lachaux A, Morali A, Lapeyre D, Lamireau T. Zinc Therapy for Wilson Disease in Children in French Pediatric Centers. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Dec;61(6):613-8. Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Zinc therapy is considered a good option in Wilson disease (WD), as a first-line treatment in presymptomatic children and a maintenance therapy after the initial chelator therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the practical use of zinc treatment in French pediatric centers. METHODS: A national survey was conducted in the 6 French centers using zinc acetate to treat WD. Clinical and biological parameters, dosage, and outcome were recorded.

Hepato-cellular nodules expressing markers of hepatocellular adenomas in Budd-Chiari syndrome and other rare hepatic vascular disorders http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26119687 Budd chiari syndrome Sempoux C, Paradis V, Komuta M, Wee A, Calderaro J, Balabaud C, Quaglia A, Bioulac-Sage P. Hepato-cellular nodules expressing markers of hepatocellular adenomas in Budd-Chiari syndrome and other rare hepatic vascular disorders. J Hepatol. 2015 Nov; 63(5):1173-80. Abstract BACKGROUND & AIMS: A broad range of hepatocellular nodules has been reported in hepatic vascular disorders. It is not clear whether hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) in this context share the same characteristics as conventional HCA. The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective multicenter survey of hepatocellular nodules associated with hepatic vascular disorders.

The role of Fibroscan in predicting the presence of varices in patients with cirrhosis. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Nov;27(11):1307-12. Abstract BACKGROUND/AIM: Transient elastography is a relatively new, noninvasive method of measuring liver stiffness. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography and other noninvasive methods for the diagnosis of esophageal varices (EV) in patients with cirrhosis.
