TL;DR: The successful use of orthotopic liver transplants in fulminant hepatic failure has created a need for early prognostic indicators to select the patients most likely to benefit at a time when liver transplantation is still feasible.

TL;DR: A prognostic model that should be valuable in the stratification of patients in clinical trials and in the timing of liver transplantation, particularly in those patients seen soon after presentation are produced.

TL;DR: Data indicate for the first time that two genes within the major histocompatibility complex closely linked to the DR3 and DR4 genes independently confer susceptibility to autoimmune chronic active hepatitis.

TL;DR: Variceal banding ligation is a safe and effective technique, which obliterates varices more quickly and with a lower rebleeding rate than injection sclerotherapy.

TL;DR: A prospective study of bacterial and fungal infections after liver transplantation in 284 adults found patients with acute liver failure were more prone to bacterial, but not fungal, infection and no associations were found between infections and duration of surgery.
