Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of chronic hepatitis C patients without hepatic fibrosis by a simple predictive model.
Xavier Forns,Sergi Ampurdanés,Josep M. Llovet,John J. Aponte,Llorenç Quintó,Eva Martínez-Bauer,Miquel Bruguera,José María Sánchez-Tapias,Juan Rodés +8 more
TL;DR: A combination of easily accessible variables accurately predicts the absence of significant fibrosis and might render liver biopsy unnecessary in more than one third of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum cystatin C as a new marker for noninvasive estimation of glomerular filtration rate and as a marker for early renal impairment.
Elisabeth Coll,Albert Botey,Luisa Alvarez,Esteban Poch,Llorenç Quintó,Ana Saurina,Manel Vera,Carlos Piera,Alejandro Darnell +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of the two different markers of GFR in patients with impaired renal function were classified according to (125)I-ICl, 128 +/- 23 mL/min/1.73 m(2) were used as the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative staging and tumor resectability assessment of pancreatic cancer: prospective study comparing endoscopic ultrasonography, helical computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography.

TL;DR: Helical CT and EUS are the most useful individual imaging techniques in the staging of pancreatic cancer and in those cases with potentially resectable tumors a sequential approach consisting of helical CT as an initial test and E US as a confirmatory technique seems to be the most reliable and cost minimization strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gloria Fernández-Esparrach,Alberto Sanchez-Fueyo,Pere Ginès,Juan Uriz,Llorenç Quintó,Pere Ventura,Andrés Cárdenas,Mónica Guevara,Pau Sort,Wladimiro Jiménez,Ramon Bataller,Vicente Arroyo,Juan Rodés +12 more
TL;DR: A prognostic model that uses four easily available variables and predicts prognosis in cirrhotic patients with ascites has been developed and may be useful in the evaluation of patients with Ascites for liver transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
