Eung Chang Lee, Seong Hoon Kim, Jae Ryong Shim, Sang‐Jae Park – 8 September 2017 – Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been reported to have high rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence compared with deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). This has been assumed to be due to the frequent use of small‐for‐size grafts (SFSGs) in LDLT rather than DDLT, but the relationship between graft size and prognosis remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the effect of SFSGs on the oncologic outcomes of patients with HCC who underwent LDLT.

Xijiao Liu, Hanyu Jiang, Jie Chen, You Zhou, Zixing Huang, Bin Song – 8 September 2017 – Early detection of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions can improve longterm patient survival. A systematic review and meta‐analysis of the diagnostic performance of gadoxetic acid disodium (Gd‐EOB‐DTPA)–enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was performed in diagnosing small HCCs measuring up to 2 cm (≤2 cm).

Two new HCV meds have been approved over the summer. This webinar is meant to provide an update on how these fit into current practice. We will also cover the ongoing controversy on the risk of HCC with DAA's and the recent Cochrane report on the benefits of HCV therapy.Insook Kim (Moderator) Insook Kim, PhD is a clinical pharmacology team leader for gastroenterology and hepatology products in the Office of Clinical Pharmacology at FDA.

Richard S. Finn, Andrew X. Zhu, Wigdan Farah, Jehad Almasri, Feras Zaiem, Larry J. Prokop, Mohammad Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 7 September 2017 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex disease most commonly arising in the background of chronic liver disease. In the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in our understanding of both the clinical and molecular heterogeneity of HCC. There has been a robust increase in clinical trial activity in patients with poor prognostic factors, such as macrovascular invasion and extrahepatic spread (EHS).

Keely Marshall, Junfei Jin, Carl Atkinson, Ali Alawieh, Fei Qiao, Biao Lei, Kenneth D. Chavin, Songqing He, Stephen Tomlinson – 7 September 2017 – Complement plays a role in both hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury (IRI) and liver regeneration, but it is not clear how complement is activated in either process. We investigated the role of self‐reactive immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in activating complement after hepatic IR and liver resection.

Haesuk Park, Chao Chen, Wei Wang, Linda Henry, Robert L. Cook, David R. Nelson – 5 September 2017 – We assessed the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐infected patients and the incidence reduction of CKD after receipt of HCV treatment. We also evaluated the risk of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and cryoglobulinemia in chronic HCV patients. A retrospective cohort analysis of the Truven Health MarketScan Database (2008‐2015) in the United States was conducted.
