EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines: Liver transplantation
Patrizia Burra,Andrew K. Burroughs,Ivo Graziadei,Jacques Pirenne,Juan Carlos Garcia Valdecasas,Paolo Muiesan,Didier Samuel,Xavier Forns +7 more
TL;DR: This Clinical Practice Guideline has been developed to assist physicians and other healthcare providers during the evaluation process of candidates for LT and to help them in the correct management of patients after LT.
Journal ArticleDOI
A significant proportion of myofibroblasts are of bone marrow origin in human liver fibrosis
Stuart J. Forbes,Francesco Paolo Russo,Virginia Rey,Patrizia Burra,Massimo Rugge,Nicholas A. Wright,Malcolm R. Alison +6 more
TL;DR: There is a significant contribution to liver cirrhosis in humans from extrahepatically derived myofibroblasts in liver disease of diverse etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): The Role of Angiogenesis and Invasiveness
A. Sergio,Chiara Cristofori,Romilda Cardin,Giorgio Pivetta,Roberto Ragazzi,Anna Baldan,Lisa Girardi,Umberto Cillo,Patrizia Burra,A. Giacomin,Fabio Farinati +10 more
TL;DR: When TACE is not totally effective, it may induce a significant neoangiogenetic reaction, as suggested by an increase in VEGF and b-FGF following treatment; this affects patient survival and antiangiogenic drugs may be indicated in TACE-treated HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron storage, lipid peroxidation and glutathione turnover in chronic anti-HCV positive hepatitis
Fabio Farinati,Romilda Cardin,N. De Maria,G Della Libera,C Marafin,E Lecis,Patrizia Burra,Annarosa Floreani,Attilio Cecchetto,Remo Naccarato +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that hepatitis C virus-related liver damage is characterized by increased iron storage (possibly induced by the virus) which elicits a free-radical-mediated peroxidation, with consequent steatosis and activation of glutathione turnover, probably in response to free- radical-mediated liver damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
European collaborative study on factors influencing outcome after liver transplantation for hepatitis C
Cyrille Feray,Lucio Caccamo,Graeme J.M. Alexander,Béatrice Ducot,Jean Gugenheim,Teresa Casanovas,Carmelo Loinaz,Michele Gigou,Patrizia Burra,Lisbeth Barkholt,Raffael Esteban,Thierry Bizollon,Jan Lerut,Anne Minello Franza,Pierre Bernard,Karl Nachbaur,Danielle Botta Fridlund,Henri Bismuth,Solko W. Schalm,Didier Samuel +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the prognosis and risk factors for morbidity and mortality in liver transplantation for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease are determined. But, the results of transplantation are compromised by a significant risk of cirrhosis, although 5-year survival is satisfactory.
