Hepatology

A case series has reported the first successful use of combined liver and haploidentical stem cell transplantation to cure patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) complicated by advanced liver failure.

Emerging evidence also implicates air pollution in metabolic disorders common in later life, including dyslipidaemia, weight gain and impaired glucose homeostasis.

In this randomised prospective study, 72 living liver donors scheduled for right hepatectomy were enrolled and divided into two groups.

Silymarin, vitamin E, and phospholipids combination therapy effectively reduces liver steatosis, fibrosis, and metabolic risk in MASLD.

Exc: Adults received three consecutive FMTs, either allogeneic (from healthy donors) or autologous (their own stool), with liver fat measured by MRI-derived proton density fat fraction.

New findings suggest that non-targeted screening for hepatitis C virus may be more effective than targeted screening for identifying new HCV infections in the emergency department.

Ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation could potentially reduce post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS) during liver transplantation
