Identification of Reduced ERAP2 Expression and a Novel HLA Allele as Components of a Risk Score for Susceptibility to Liver Injury Due to Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (2022)
Journal Article

Background & Aims: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) due to amoxicillin–clavulanate (AC) has been associated with HLA-A∗02:01, HLA-DRB1∗15:01, and rs2476601, a missense variant in PTPN22. The aim of this study was to identify novel risk factors for AC...

Journal Article

Abstract Objectives To describe the different aetiologies of ascites and test the validity of serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) and cytology in a contemporary unselected medical cohort. Methods All adult patients admitted to Nottingham Univer... Read More about Diagnostic accuracy of serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) in a contemporary unselected medical cohort.

Physical activity is inversely associated with hepatic fibro-inflammation: A population-based cohort study using UK Biobank data (2022)
Journal Article

Background & Aims Physical activity (PA) is recommended in the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) given its beneficial effects on liver fat and cardiometabolic risk. Using data from the UK Biobank population-cohort, this study e...

Variability of noninvasive MRI and biological markers in compensated cirrhosis: insights for assessing disease progression (2022)
Journal Article

Abstract: Background: We annually monitored stable compensated cirrhosis (CC) patients to evaluate serial variation in blood serum, liver stiffness, and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) measures to provide reference change values (R...

Therapeutic Management of Idiosyncratic Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity in the Paediatric Population: A Systematic Review (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare but serious adverse event that can progress to acute liver failure (ALF). The evidence for treatment of DILI in children is scarce. Objective We aimed to comprehensively review the availabl...

A new framework for advancing in drug-induced liver injury research. The Prospective European DILI Registry (2022)
Journal Article

Background & Aims: No multi-national prospective study of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has originated in Europe. The design of a prospective European DILI registry, clinical features and short-term outcomes of the cases and controls is reported.... Read More about A new framework for advancing in drug-induced liver injury research. The Prospective European DILI Registry.

Development of Food Group Tree-Based Analysis and Its Association with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Co-Morbidities in a South Indian Population: A Large Case-Control Study (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global problem growing in parallel to the epidemics of obesity and diabetes, with South Asians being particularly susceptible. Nutrition and behaviour are important modifiers of the disease,... Read More about Development of Food Group Tree-Based Analysis and Its Association with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Co-Morbidities in a South Indian Population: A Large Case-Control Study.

Prognostic non-invasive biomarkers for all-cause mortality in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a growing public health concern, with patients having higher risk of morbidity and mortality. It has a considerably high prevalence in the general population, estimated 20%-40% in Europe...

Incidence and prevalence of venous thromboembolism in chronic liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Historically, bleeding was thought to be a frequent and fatal complication of liver disease. However, thrombosis due to coagulation disorders in cirrhosis remains a real risk. We aim to systematically analyse published articles t... Read More about Incidence and prevalence of venous thromboembolism in chronic liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Incidence and pattern of mycophenolate discontinuation associated with abnormal monitoring blood-test results: cohort study using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: The aim was to examine the incidence and pattern of MMF discontinuation associated with abnormal monitoring blood-test results. Methods: Data from people prescribed MMF for common inflammatory conditions in the Clinical Practice Research D... Read More about Incidence and pattern of mycophenolate discontinuation associated with abnormal monitoring blood-test results: cohort study using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum.

Corticosteroid plus glycyrrhizin therapy for chronic drug‐ or herb‐induced liver injury achieves biochemical and histological improvements: a randomised open‐label trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background Treatment of chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) or herb-induced liver injury(HILI) is an important and unresolved challenge. There is no consensus regarding the indications for corticosteroids for chronic DILI/HILI. Aims To inve...

Validation of the aMAP score to predict hepatocellular carcinoma development in a cohort of alcohol‐related cirrhosis patients (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Aims The aMAP score was recently devised to predict hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. However, its performance was not tested in alcohol-related cirrhosis (ALC). We aimed to validate the aMAP score in a cohort of ALC patient... Read More about Validation of the aMAP score to predict hepatocellular carcinoma development in a cohort of alcohol‐related cirrhosis patients.

Monoclonal antibody BTT1023 targeting vascular adhesion protein 1 for treating primary sclerosing cholangitis: BUTEO single-arm Phase II trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a progressive and fibrotic liver disease. Treatments remain inadequate, and patients with persistent elevations in activity of alkaline phosphatase are at greatest risk of disease progression. Studies in...

Transient Elastography in Community Alcohol Services: Can It Detect Significant Liver Disease and Impact Drinking Behaviour? (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction: Alcohol is the leading cause of cirrhosis in Western populations. The early identification of high-risk drinkers followed by intervention is an effective way to reduce harm. We aim to assess the feasibility of integrating transient elas...
