Mayo Researchers Help Discover Genetic Cause for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Researchers have discovered a novel molecular path that predisposes patients to develop primary biliary cirrhosis, a disease that mainly affects women and slowly destroys their livers. Primary biliary cirrhosis has no known cause. view more (2009-05-28)
New research may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis in families
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that first-degree relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, children) of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are more likely to have the biomarker of the disease in their blood. view more (2007-09-11)
iNOS expression may links chronic biliary inflammation to malignant transformation
It is well known that chronic biliary inflammation is a risk factor for biliary carcinogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms of biliary carcinogenesis as a consequence of chronic biliary inflammation remain unclear. view more (2007-12-20)
Vascular and biliary complications after liver transplant can be reliably diagnosed when using CE-US
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) after a liver transplant is highly accurate in showing vascular as well as biliary complications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
Which is accurate, CT or MRI?
Paraaortic lymph node metastasis in patients with pancreatico-biliary carcinoma has been reported as a definite predictor of early recurrence and shorter survival term. view more (2008-05-21)
What relates to the short-term effectiveness of biliary drainage?
Biliary drainage is performed as a palliative treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The reduction of serum bilirubin is usually the hallmark of successful biliary drainage. However, some patients may have persistent jaundice or scanty bile output after biliary drainage. view more (2009-11-18)
Children's Hospital Physicians Publish Comprehensive Review of Liver Transplant Issues in Patients with Biliary Atresia
The most common indication worldwide for pediatric transplantation, biliary atresia is also the most common cause of chronic liver disease in newborns. Recently, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC physicians completed a review of issues that children with biliary atresia face that lead to the need for transplantation. view more (2008-01-09)
New endoscope allows for easier use in diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic diseases
A research article to be published on March 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology reports their experience of this new endoscope that can directly visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts. view more (2009-03-24)
New molecular markers for tumor aggressiveness in biliary tract cancer
Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis of patients with biliary tract cancer is still poor. Elucidating the biological characteristics of these carcinomas has become necessary to improve the prognosis of patients and to devise better treatment strategies. view more (2009-08-27)
How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life. view more (2008-10-13)
Mayo Clinic's new imaging technology accurately identifies a broad spectrum of liver disease
A new study shows that an imaging technology developed by Mayo Clinic researchers can identify liver fibrosis with high accuracy and help eliminate the need for liver biopsies. Liver fibrosis is a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated in time. view more (2008-11-03)
Coffee drinking associated with lower risk for alcohol-related liver disease
Drinking coffee may be related to a reduced risk of developing the liver disease alcoholic cirrhosis. view more (2006-06-13)
Study looks at off-label use of biliary stents
Although approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a palliative treatment for cancer patients who have developed bile-duct obstructions, biliary stents are sometimes used "off-label" for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). view more (2008-01-21)
Gallbladder emptying in primary sclerosing cholangitis patients
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an idiopathic chronic cholestatic inflammatory liver disease characterized by diffuse fibrosing inflammation of intra- and/or extrahepatic bile ducts, resulting in bile duct obliteration, biliary cirrhosis, and eventually hepatic failure. view more (2009-08-10)
New lights on the pathogenic mechanisms of liver cirrhosis with ascites
The pathogenic mechanisms implicated in the failure of intestinal barrier in cirrhosis have not been fully elucidated as yet and remains to be investigated. view more (2008-09-24)
Are angiotensins involved in the hemodynamic changes of cirrhosis patients?
Liver cirrhosis has been recently studied in the light of the new view of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). view more (2009-06-12)
How about the feasibility of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided choledochoduodenostomy?
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biliary drainage for treatment of patients who have obstructive jaundice in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). view more (2008-11-03)
High circulating D-dimers are associated with presence of ascites
The liver is the production site of most of the proteins which favour and inhibit the process of coagulation and fibrinolysis. view more (2008-04-30)
Research offers hope of new treatments for liver damage 'plague'
Millions of patients suffering from liver damage (cirrhosis) and failure may benefit from research by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh that could lead to new life-saving treatments. There is currently no cure for liver cirrhosis and a patient's only hope of survival is to receive a liver transplant. view more (2005-01-05)
hus the bile does not overflow
A consequence of the different cancers of the hepatobiliary system is blocked bile ducts. However, artificial catheters known as "stents" can remediate this problem. view more (2009-05-11)
