Journal Article
Usefulness of alpha-fetoprotein in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Maurizio Soresi,C Magliarisi,Pietro Campagna,Gaetano Leto,Bonfissuto G,A. Riili,Antonio Carroccio,Roberta Sesti,S. Tripi,Giuseppe Montalto +9 more
TL;DR: The data confirm that the usefulness of AFP in the diagnosis of HCC of viral etiology is limited, but at this level sensitivity was low, and this cut-off value was more useful in detecting non-viral HCC, because PPV was significantly higher than in viral HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study on thyroid autoimmunity and dysfunction related to chronic hepatitis C and interferon therapy.
N Custro,Giuseppe Montalto,V. Scafidi,Maurizio Soresi,S. Gallo,S. Tripi,Alberto Notarbartolo +6 more
TL;DR: The patients with chronic hepatitis C were unlikely to develop thyroid dysfunction in the absence of IFN therapy, in spite of being ThyAb seropositive, and a considerable proportion of seronegative patients, when IFN-treated, developed thyroid autoimmunity and then thyroid dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of liver steatosis on the antiviral response in the hepatitis C virus-associated chronic hepatitis.
Maurizio Soresi,S. Tripi,Vito Franco,Lydia Giannitrapani,A. Alessandri,Francesca Rappa,O. Vuturo,Giuseppe Montalto +7 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the frequency of LS, its relationship with host and viral factors and to what extent it can influence the response to antiviral combination therapy with pegylated interferon (INF)+ribavirin in a group of patients with CHC from a single center.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous Liver Biopsy: A Safe Outpatient Procedure?
Giuseppe Montalto,Maurizio Soresi,Antonio Carroccio,F Bascone,S. Tripi,F Aragona,G. Di Gaetano,Notarbartolo A +7 more
TL;DR: Outpatient LB can be safely performed in most cases; this procedure should be more widely used, because it has met with the favour of patients who are able to return home the same day and reduces public health care service costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound detection of abdominal lymph nodes in chronic liver diseases. A retrospective analysis.
Maurizio Soresi,Bonfissuto G,C Magliarisi,A. Riili,Terranova A,G. Di Giovanni,F Bascone,Antonio Carroccio,S. Tripi,Giuseppe Montalto +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate a high prevalence of lymphadenopathy in liver disease patients; ultrasound evidence of lymph nodes of the hepato-duodenal ligament in a given liver disease may most likely suggest a HCV or an autoimmune aetiology and a more severe histological picture.
