Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and precursor frequency analysis of a common T cell epitope motif in mitochondrial autoantigens in primary biliary cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Results showed a disease-specific 100-150-fold increase in the precursor frequency of PDC-E2 163-176-specific T cells in the hilar lymph nodes and liver when compared with PBMC from PBC patients, providing evidence for a major role for PDC -E2 peptide 163- 176 and/or peptides bearing a similar motif in the pathogenesis of PBC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial pressure monitoring and liver transplantation for fulminant hepatic failure

TL;DR: Intracranial pressure monitoring represents a potentially important tool in the preoperative and intraoperative management of comatose patients with fulminant hepatic failure and warrants further study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts: incidence and risk factors.

TL;DR: Hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication of TIPS that can be controlled medically in most patients and the identification of clinical variables associated with an increased risk of encephalopathic may be useful in the selection of appropriate candidates for this procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation: a definition and predictors of outcome. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Liver Transplantation Database.

TL;DR: Recipients who develop EAD have longer ICU and hospital stays and greater mortality than those without and a logistic regression model combining donor, graft, and recipient factors predicted EAD better than models examining these factors in isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C viral infection in liver transplant recipients

TL;DR: In transplant recipients infection by the hepatitis C virus usually produces a mild disease state, but the diagnosis of hepatitis can be difficult to make because indicators of hepatitis may mimic those of rejection, ischemia, obstruction or other hepatic infections.
