Role of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Its Receptor Tyrosine Kinase A (TrK A) in Egyptian Cirrhotic Patients with Pruritus.
Background: Pruritus is a distressing symptom of cholestatic, inflammatory,and malignant liver diseases. It is a common symptom in many biliary andcholestatic disorders such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Several mechanisms are generally accepted as possible explanations to the underlying basis of itch.However, the exact pathophysiology of pruritus in liver diseases remains unclear.The cutaneous and central neurobiology of pruritus is complex ...

CIRCULATING VASCULAR  ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND NITRIC OXIDE IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS: A  POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION WITH LIVER FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT
Hemodynamic disorders of liver cirrhosis complicated with portal hypertension are associated with an increased angiogenesis in animal model of portal hypertension and cirrhosis which were linked to increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO). The aim of study was to evaluate the serum concentration of VEGF and total nitric oxide (NO) in liver cirrhosis and ... Read more

Deep Venous Thrombosis in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis:  Incidence and Management
ABSTRACT: THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENCE AND PREDISPOSING FACTORS OF LOWER LIMB DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS (D VT) IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS, AND TO EVALUATE THE USE OF ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY (AT) WITH LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN (LMWH) AND WARFARIN IN MANAGEMENT OF DVT IN THESE PATIENTS. THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ON 622 CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS FROM WHOM THE ... Read more

Prevalence and predictors of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: does low zinc level play any role?
Introduction Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and life‑threatening complication of cirrhosis. Several large studies have identified additional risk factors for the development of SBP. Zinc deficiency has been found to be frequent in cirrhotic patients. Aim of the work The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency, possible risk factors and the role of zinc ... Read more

USEFULLNESS OF COMBINED TESTS FOR ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is one of the potentially lifethreatening complications in ascetic cirrhotic patients. The improved survival might be explained by a more rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Our aim is to evaluate the combined use of a leucocyte esterase strip together with ascetic fluid lactoferrin antibodies for rapid and accurate diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis when ...

The Role of Laparoscopy in Diagnosis of Ascites of Obscure Etiology
Background: The role of diagnostic laparoscopy was markedly decreased with the advent of major developments in noninvasive imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. However, many reports suggest that imaging has a limited role in the diagnosis of exudative ascites. The aim of the present study was to answer the question if there still a place ... Read more

Clinical Utility of Simple Fibrosis Markers in Prediction of Oesophageal Varices in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients with Advanced Fibrosis
Abstract Background and Aims: Oesophageal varices (OV) are the most common complication of liver cirrhosis. However, no available data exist on the prevalence and the laboratory predictors of OV in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) Egyptian patients with bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of OV in these patients and to assess whether simple non-invasive serum ... Read more
