TL;DR: Some general aspects of fatigue, its taxonomy, and the findings reported by Dyson et al. are proposed, which contribute to the understanding of fatigue in chronic liver disease by demonstrating an association between sympathetic over-activity, increased cardiac output and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

TL;DR: The neurotransmitters and cytokines were found to be independent predictors of MEH scores in multiple regression analysis andCytokine and neurotransmitter changes are associated with mental and emotional health.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that HLA class I and II gene polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to NASH, fibrosis and other pathologic features and may be involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.

TL;DR: The aim was to assess the role of disease and cell‐specific antibodies, namely anti‐adipocyte antibodies (anti‐AdAb) in patients with NAFLD and non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

TL;DR: HCC DNA markers can be detected in urine of patients with HCC by short-amplicon, PCR-based assays and in combination with serum AFP, three biomarker urine DNA testing detected at least 30% more HCC in an open-labeled study compared to serum AFP alone.
