Increased risk of mortality by fibrosis stage in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Parambir S. Dulai, Siddharth Singh, Janki Patel, Meera Soni, Larry J. Prokop, Zobair Younossi, Giada Sebastiani, Mattias Ekstedt, Hannes Hagstrom, Patrik Nasr, Per Stal, Vincent Wai‐Sun Wong, Stergios Kechagias, Rolf Hultcrantz, Rohit Loomba – 28 January 2017 – Liver fibrosis is the most important predictor of mortality in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Quantitative risk of mortality by fibrosis stage has not been systematically evaluated. We aimed to quantify the fibrosis stage–specific risk of all‐cause and liver‐related mortality in NAFLD.

Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir for 12 weeks for hepatitis C virus genotype 1 infection and prior direct‐acting antiviral treatment

Fred Poordad, Franco Felizarta, Armen Asatryan, Mark S. Sulkowski, Robert W. Reindollar, Charles S. Landis, Stuart C. Gordon, Steven L. Flamm, Michael W. Fried, David E. Bernstein, Chih‐Wei Lin, Ran Liu, Sandra S. Lovell, Teresa I. Ng, Jens Kort, Federico J. Mensa – 27 January 2017 – Although direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) therapies for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have demonstrated high rates of sustained virologic response, virologic failure may still occur, potentially leading to the emergence of viral resistance, which can decrease the effectiveness of subsequent treatment.

Role of surface antibody in hepatitis B reactivation in patients with resolved infection and hematologic malignancy: A meta‐analysis

Sonali Paul, Aaron Dickstein, Akriti Saxena, Norma Terrin, Kathleen Viveiros, Ethan M. Balk, John B. Wong – 27 January 2017 – Patients with resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who are treated for hematological malignancies remain at risk for HBV reactivation.

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury associates with acute kidney injury in liver transplantation: Prospective cohort study

Ina Jochmans, Nicolas Meurisse, Arne Neyrinck, Marleen Verhaegen, Diethard Monbaliu, Jacques Pirenne – 25 January 2017 – Solid clinical prospective studies investigating the association between hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after liver transplantation are missing. HIRI, reflected by transaminase release, induces AKI in rodents, and retrospective studies suggest a similar association in humans. This prospective cohort study determined risk factors for AKI in 80 adult liver‐only recipients.
