Patatin‐like phospholipase domain containing 3 variants differentially impact metabolic traits in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular events

Sabrina Rüschenbaum, Katharina Schwarzkopf, Mireen Friedrich‐Rust, Florian Seeger, Fabian Schoelzel, Yolanda Martinez, Stefan Zeuzem, Jörg Bojunga, Christian M. Lange – 6 June 2018 – Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs738409 C>G in the patatin‐like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene results in an amino acid exchange from isoleucin to methionine at position I148M of PNPLA3.

Coagulation Failure in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure and Decompensated Cirrhosis: Beyond the International Normalized Ratio

Annabel Blasi, Andrea Calvo, Verónica Prado, Enric Reverter, Juan Carlos Reverter, María Hernández‐Tejero, Fátima Aziz, Alex Amoros, Andres Cardenas, Javier Fernández – 23 May 2018 – Balanced hemostasis with hypocoagulable and hypercoagulable features may occur in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF). The characteristics and prognostic impact of the coagulation profile in ACLF are unknown. Consecutive patients with ACLF (n = 36) and acute decompensation (AD; n = 24) were included. Blood samples for thromboelastometry (TE) were obtained at admission and 72 hours thereafter.
