The Systemic Inflammation Hypothesis: Towards a New Paradigm of Acute Decompensation and Multiorgan Failure in Cirrhosis

TL;DR: This work presents a working hypothesis, the Systemic Inflammation Hypothesis, suggesting that systemic inflammation through an impairment of the functions of one or more of the major organ systems may be a common theme and act synergistically with the traditional mechanisms involved in the development of AD.

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.

EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines on prevention and management of bleeding and thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Hernandez-Gea et al. as discussed by the authors presented a set of guidelines for the prevention and management of bleeding and thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis, which are based on interventions that the panel feel are not useful, even though widely applied in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiology of decompensated cirrhosis: Portal hypertension, circulatory dysfunction, inflammation, metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction.

TL;DR: In this article, a review amalgamates the latest knowledge on disease mechanisms that lead to tissue injury and extrahepatic organ failure - such as systemic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and metabolic changes - and marries these with the classical paradigms of acute decompensation to form a single paradigm.

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).

Peripheral arterial vasodilation hypothesis: a proposal for the initiation of renal sodium and water retention in cirrhosis.

TL;DR: The stimulation of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, vasopressin release and sympathetic nervous system associated with cirrhosis is not consonant with primary volume expansion, and favors the “overflow” hypothesis.

Compensated cirrhosis: natural history and prognostic factors.

TL;DR: To investigate the natural history of compensated cirrhosis, 293 consecutive patients without previous major complications were studied in terms of morbidity and survival and a prognostic index was constructed that allows calculation of the estimated survival probability.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
