Sleep apnoea syndrome and early stage cirrhosis: a pilot study
(2006)
Objectives. Hepatic encephalopathy in patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis is associated with alterations in sleep patterns. Cirrhosis may also affect pulmonary function and it might be involved in the development of ...
Reversion of severe hepatopulmonary syndrome in a non cirrhotic patient after corticosteroid treatment for granulomatous hepatitis: A case report and review of the literature
(2006)
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined as a clinical triad including liver disease, abnormal pulmonary gas exchange and evidence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations. We report a 61-year-old male presented with fatigue, ...

Telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA expression in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with chronic HBV and HCV infections
(2005)
Telomerase activity is present at low levels in peripheral lymphocytes (PL) and is upregulated upon activation, possibly protecting PL from telomere shortening. As decreased telomere length is considered a sign of cellular ...
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2009)
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by undetectable serum HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) but detectable HBV-DNA in serum or liver. To determine the prevalence and clinical impact of occult HBV in autoimmune ...
Antimitochondrial antibodies of immunoglobulin G3 subclass are associated with a more severe disease course in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)
Background/Aims: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is characterised by the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) G antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), which are routinely detected by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) using composite ...
Cytochrome P450 2A6: a new hepatic autoantigen in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection
(2003)
Background/Aims: Cytochromes P4502A6 (CYP2A6) and P4501A2 (CYP1A2) were described as hepatic autoantigens in the autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type-1 (APS-1). We evaluated the significance of anti-CYP2A6 and anti-CYP1A2 ...
Bone marrow findings in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2008)
Background and Aims: We have recently reported quantitative and qualitative differences of the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic progenitor cells in autoimmune hepatitis type-1 (AIH-1) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In ...
