Objective: This study aims to investigate the alterations in serum bile acid profiles among individuals with fatty liver (including non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) and evaluate their clinical significance when combined with liver enzyme levels.

Methods: A cohort of 110 individuals with fatty liver (including non-alcoholic fatty liver 58 individuals and alcoholic fatty liver 52 individuals) was selected from the Department of Gastroenterology at Wenzhou People's Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022, while a control group of 66 healthy individuals was recruited from the hospital's health examination center during the same period. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from all participants.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates how well noninvasive serum liver fibrosis markers and portal vein diameter (PVD) can predict esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) in patients with cirrhosis.
  • A cohort of 102 cirrhosis patients was analyzed, comparing those with and without EVB by examining various liver fibrosis indicators and other factors using ROC curve analysis.
  • Results showed significant differences in liver fibrosis markers between the two groups, and combining these markers with PVD improved predictive accuracy for EVB, indicating their clinical importance in managing patients with cirrhosis.
