Reddy, Christopher Fan, Peigen Huang, Nabeel Bardeesy, Andrew X. Zhu, Rakesh K. Jain, Dan G. Duda – 20 December 2014 – Sorafenib, a broad tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the only approved systemic therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but provides limited survival benefits.

Association of hepatitis C viral infection with incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease in a large cohort of US veterans

Miklos Z. Molnar, Hazem M. Alhourani, Barry M. Wall, Jun L. Lu, Elani Streja, Kamyar Kalantar‐Zadeh, Csaba P. Kovesdy – 20 December 2014 – An estimated 4 million Americans have been exposed to the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The risks of incident and progressive chronic kidney disease and of mortality in patients with normal kidney function infected with HCV are unclear.

Magnetic resonance imaging and liver histology as biomarkers of hepatic steatosis in children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Jeffrey B. Schwimmer, Michael S. Middleton, Cynthia Behling, Kimberly P. Newton, Hannah I. Awai, Melissa N. Paiz, Jessica Lam, Jonathan C. Hooker, Gavin Hamilton, John Fontanesi, Claude B. Sirlin – 20 December 2014 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in children. In order to advance the field of NAFLD, noninvasive imaging methods for measuring liver fat are needed. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown great promise for the quantitative assessment of hepatic steatosis but has not been validated in children.
