Lipid profile among cirrhotic patients with and without hepatocellular carcinoma in Upper Egypt
Background/aim:An impaired lipid metabolism is often observed in patients with chronic liver diseases. This study was carried out to determine the lipid profile in cirrhotic patients with and without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine whether it relates to the severity of cirrhosis in Upper Egypt. Patients and methods In an analytical cross-sectional study, 74 patients with cirrhosis and 36 ... Read more

RISK FACTORS OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA: ARE THEY THE SAME AMONG CIRRHOTIC AND NONCIRRHOTIC PATIENTS IN UPPER EGYPT?
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest primary cancer of liver. Epidemiologic research exploring risk factors of HCC is important because of increasing frequency of the disease in Egypt with remarkable rise in noncirrhotic patientsIdentifying risk factors of HCC may help in decreasing its incidence. Aim: This study was carried out to identify risk factors of HCC among both cirrhotic ... Read more

PREDICTORS OF  IN-HOSPITAL  MORTALITY AMONG CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS  WITH BLEEDING ESOPHAGEAL  VARICES IN UPPER EGYPT
_BACKGROUND.__ Esophageal varices bleeding is one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in the course of liver cirrhosis.__AIM.__ Assessment of the incidence and risk factors of in-hospital mortality after acute variceal bleeding among cirrhotic patients in upper Egypt.__METHODS.__ During six months period between January 2010 and June 2010, 108 cirrhotic patients with bleeding esophageal varices were admitted ...

Interplay between Gut Microbiota and T Lymphocytes in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the third leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. There is increasing evidences about the involvement of gut microbiota in colorectal carcinogenesis. Several recent studies have shed light on the cross talk between gut microbiota and mucosal T cell subsets, specically intraepithelial lymphocytes and lamina propria CD4+ T cells including T-helper cells and T- regulatory (Treg) ...

Circulating IL17a and IFN-Gamma Serum Levels in Cirrhotic Hepatitis C Virus Infected Patients with Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Autoimmune endocrine disorders are considered one of the extrahepatic manifestations of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV could trigger cytokines release due to local inflammation. Interleukin 17 a (IL17a) and Interferon gamma (IFNγ) play an important role in pathogenesis of autoimmune disease. Herein, we tried to assess the serum levels of IL17a and IFN-gamma in cirrhotic HCV infected patients with ... Read more

| Keywords SBP, MELD, SOFA,
Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Cirrhotic Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a major complication of cirrhosis and ascites and is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, The aim of this work is to determine prognostic factors and scores for SBP-related in-hospital mortality, compare the predictive power of CP, MELD, SOFA and AIMS65scores for the prediction of the mortality also to identify the best score cut-off point. ...

Diagnostic Value of Ascitic Fluid Lactoferrin, Calprotectin, and Calprotectin to Albumin Ratio in Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is common and dangerous infection that occurs in 8-27% of cirrhotic inpatients with ascites. In the current study we have demonstrated and compared the diagnostic performance of ascitic fluid lactoferrin and calprotectin in the screening and diagnosis of SBP. In addition we have evaluated ascitic fluid calprotectin to albumin ratio as a novel marker in the ... Read more

Bleeding Gastric Varices: Frequency and Outcome
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastric variceal bleeding is less frequent than esophageal varices bleeding but it still a serious cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of study was to assess the frequency and identify the patients' outcome after management. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on cirrhotic patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the period from June 2016 to ... Read more

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Upper Egypt: A Retrospective Study
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. The incidence of HCC is highest in Asia and Africa, where the endemic high prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C strongly predisposes to the development of chronic liver disease and subsequent development of HCC. AIM OF THE WORK: Our study was designed to characterize patterns ... Read more
