Incidence and risk factors of antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) is a significant problem of tuberculosis treatment. This systematic review and meta‑analysis aimed at evaluating the incidence and risk factors of ATDILI in adult patients with tuberculosis in India.

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched comprehensively for studies on Indian adult patients with tuberculosis investigating the incidence and/or risk factors of ATDILI.

Bedside assessment of sarcopenia in hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis: Magnitude and clinical implications.

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with many adverse outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. The tools currently in use for assessing sarcopenia have numerous flaws. We evaluated the utility of portable ultrasonography and a dynamometer for the bedside assessment of sarcopenia and its implications in hospitalized cirrhosis patients.

Renal resistive index measurements by ultrasound in patients with liver cirrhosis: Magnitude and associations with renal dysfunction.

Background: The hemodynamic alterations seen in liver cirrhosis lead to renal vasoconstriction, ultimately causing acute kidney injury (AKI). The renal resistive index (RRI) is the most common Doppler ultrasound variable for measuring intrarenal vascular resistance.

Aim: To evaluate the association of the RRI with AKI in patients with liver cirrhosis and to identify risk factors for high RRI.
