A brief communication of patients with homozygous C282Y mutation-related hereditary hemochromatosis.

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive inherited iron-loading disorder and is characterized by chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, diabetes, and bronze skin. The hemochromatosis gene (C282Y homozygosity)-related hemochromatosis is the most common form of HH. The prevalence of HH is varied.

A combination of non-invasive tests for the detection of significant fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is not superior to magnetic resonance elastography alone.

Objectives: The aims of the present study were to investigate a combination of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) or MRE and fibrosis score 4 (FIB-4) in the detection of significant fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods: Between November 5, 2021, and March 4, 2022, a total of 119 consecutive patients with MASLD were included. Liver stiffness was measured using liver biopsy, MRE, VCTE, and FIB-4.

Management of Biliary Complications in Liver Transplant Recipients with Duct-To-Duct Anastomosis: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: The aims of this study were to investigate biliary complications in liver transplant recipients with choledochocholedocho stomy anastomosis, to identify the risk factors for the development of such complications, and to evaluate the success of endoscopic approaches in liver transplant recipients.

Methods: Between January 2013 and May 2021, a total of 238 patients with liver diseases underwent liver transplantation: 174 recipients undergoing choledochocholedochostomy anastomosis were included in the analysis.

Results: Their median age was 54.

The Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Related Medications on COVID-19 Severity and Outcome: A Tertiary Referral Center Experience from Turkey.

Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 has become a serious pandemic, and still remains a risk despite vaccines that have been devel- oped. Among inflammatory bowel disease patients old age, inflammatory bowel disease activation, the existence of the comorbid dis- ease, and using steroids are known risk factors for severe coronavirus disease-2019. But there are different data for drugs other than corticosteroids used.
