Limited data exist on the safety of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in cirrhotic patients. We retrospectively reviewed outcomes of these procedures in cirrhotic patients and matched controls. Significant adverse outcomes occurred in 20.7% (6 of 29) of cirrhotic patients compared with 3.23% (3 of 93) of controls. No significant differences were seen between the groups for elective TKA or THA. However, 80% (4 of 5) of the cirrhotic patients undergoing emergent THA secondary to fracture had major complications, with a 60% (3 of 5) mortality rate. There was a trend toward worse overall outcome in cirrhotic patients with more advanced liver disease. In conclusion, primary THA or TKA can be safely performed electively in Child's A and B cirrhotic patients. However, emergent THA to repair fractures in cirrhotic patients is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality.

Hepatic hydrothorax (HH) is a severe cirrhosis complication requiring early diagnosis and appropriate management. This study aimed to assess the impact of HH on the disease severity and mortality of cirrhotic patients and compare their clinical and biological profiles with those of patients without HH. This retrospective study involved 155 patients diagnosed with cirrhosis, of whom 31 had HH.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide. It is associated with an increased risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the background of cirrhosis or without cirrhosis. The prevalence of NAFLD-related HCC is increasing all over the globe, and HCC surveillance in NAFLD cases is not that common.

While acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) remains clinically critical, the etiology of bleeding and risk factors for mortality remain uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the underlying causes of AUGIB and identify risk factors associated with fatality. A retrospective survey was conducted in a major clinical hospital in Shanghai, where inpatients diagnosed with AUGIB were meticulously collected and analyzed.

Background: Tissue damage by viral hepatitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oxidation reactions and reactive oxygen species (ROS) transform proteins and lipids in plasma low-density lipoproteins (LDL) into the abnormal oxidized LDL (ox-LDL). Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces oxidative/nitrosative stress from multiple sources, including the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), the mitochondrial electron transport chain, hepatocyte NAD(P)H oxidases (NOX enzymes), and inflammation.

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease, associated with MEFV mutations. FMF patients can experience liver involvement, potentially leading to cirrhosis.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate liver involvement in FMF patients at a French tertiary centre for adult FMF.
