Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) offers a noninvasive method to diagnose portal hypertension in BCR::ABL1-negative MPN patients, potentially improving patient management. SSM captures hepatic ...
Portal hypertension (PHT) is a severe complication of chronic liver disease, like cirrhosis, where increased pressure builds up in the portal vein. This major blood vessel drains blood from the ...
MASH patients exhibit a higher spleen-to-liver stiffness ratio than ALD patients, indicating a presinusoidal component in portal hypertension. The study found that MASH patients have larger spleen ...
Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) demonstrated strong predictive accuracy for liver decompensation in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD), with an optimal cutoff of 50 ...
Chronic liver disease (CLD) and its advanced stage, cirrhosis, represent a significant global health burden, with portal hypertension (PH) being a primary driver of disease progression and ...
(A) Compression. Pancreatic cysts compress the splenic vein, increasing venous flow in the gastric veins and forming varices. Other causes of compression include pancreatic NET, lymphoma, SAA, ...
Amsterdam, the Netherlands — In a multivariate analysis of compensated cirrhotic patients infected with hepatitis C virus, spleen stiffness and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score emerged ...
Thrombocytopenia in chronic liver disease arises from a variety of factors related to liver disease etiology, progression, and treatment. It is common in patients with cirrhosis and is a distinctive ...
