Switching to TAF helps improve virologic response in HBV patients in real world

06 Dec 2021 by

Switching to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) from nucleos(t)ide analogue therapies was associated with improved virologic response and liver function in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, even in those with decompensated HBV cirrhosis, according to real-world studies presented at AASLD 2021.

Non-overweight NAFLD patients have poor liver transplant outcomes

03 Dec 2021 by

Non-overweight patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have an elevated risk of all-cause mortality following liver transplant and are also more likely to be removed from the liver transplant waitlist compared with obese/overweight patients, according to a study presented at The Liver Meeting Digital Experience™.

More than half of NASH patients respond to HVPG-guided NSBB prophylaxis

30 Nov 2021

Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG)-guided prophylaxis with non-selective beta blockers (NSBB) seems to be reasonably effective in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), eliciting responses from around half of this population, a recent study has found.
