The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and nongenetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis …
The purpose of this study is to bridge the gap of knowledge pertaining to NAFLD in post-LT patients, we propose to study this population, determine the disease burden, and characterize the risk factors for NAFLD in a cohort of liver transplant recipients who received transplantation for NASH and other indications.
NAFLD is a common liver disease in the United States. The causes of NAFLD are unknown, but are probably due to different reasons, from inherited characteristics to personal lifestyle. Some reasons may increase the chance of developing NAFLD (these are called “risk factors”) while other reasons may decrease the chance …
What is this study about?Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease have varied etiologies, associated risk factors and disease severity. One purpose of this study is to determine the possible etiological factors, risk factors, and disease severity of all patients referred to Digestive and Liver Diseases Clinics for presumed NAFLD. Another …
The purpose of the study is to determine how much a persons kidney function recovers after receiving a simultaneous liver kidney transplant. We are interested to see if a liver transplant alone makes it unnecessary to perform a kidney transplant.
We are doing this research study to evaluate the lived experience of adults who have already had a liver transplant or are in the process of being worked up for a liver transplant. The data gathered from this project will be used to identify unmet needs of patient undergoing LT …
Despite gaining knowledge on the probable pathophysiology driving organ dysfunction in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF), there is little prospective data on the clinical course of organ dysfunction (before, during, and after) associated with ACLF in the ICU setting. Isolated clinical characteristics in critically ill cirrhotic patients such as …
