PREDICT identifies precipitating events associated with the clinical course of acutely decompensated cirrhosis

Jonel Trebicka, +130 more
TL;DR: This study identified precipitants that are significantly associated with a distinct clinical course and prognosis of patients with AD and specific preventive and therapeutic strategies targeting these events may improve outcome in decompensated cirrhosis.

Causes and Consequences of Innate Immune Dysfunction in Cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Knowledge of the phenotypic manifestation and pathophysiological mechanisms of cirrhosis associated immunosuppression may lead to immune targeted therapies to reduce susceptibility to infection in patients with Cirrhosis, and better biomarkers for risk stratification, and assessment of efficacy of novel immunotherapies.

Utilizing the gut microbiome in decompensated cirrhosis and acute-on-chronic liver failure

TL;DR: The gut microbiome is altered during development of liver cirrhosis, and these changes are associated with decompensation and development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).

Targeting the gut-liver-immune axis to treat cirrhosis.

TL;DR: In this article, established and emerging therapeutic strategies targeted at restoring intestinal eubiosis, augmenting gut barrier function and ameliorating the mucosal and systemic immune deficits that characterise and define the course of decompensated cirrhosis.

Infections in Patients With Cirrhosis Increase Mortality Four-Fold and Should Be Used in Determining Prognosis

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis, infections increase mortality 4-fold; 30% of patients die within 1 month after infection and another 30% die by 1 year; prospects with prolonged follow-up evaluation and to evaluate preventative strategies are needed.
