Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common forms of primary liver cancer worldwide. Herein, we present a review article that provides a broad overview of the current landscape of HCC, including the etiology, potential risk factors, and molecular pathways that can serve as potential therapeutic targets. The risk factors tend to vary depending on the geographic distribution; hepatitis B-induced cirrhosis and HCC occur more frequently in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, whereas metabolic disorders are the culprits in Western Europe and the Americas.

This study describes a 64-year-old female with a history of hepatitis C and cryoglobulinemia, who presented with respiratory symptoms, including dry cough, shortness of breath, and fever, alongside joint pain and fatigue. Initial workup revealed interstitial pneumonia, supported by chest imaging, and the patient was treated for pneumonia with standard antibiotic therapy. Despite no renal involvement, a hallmark of cryoglobulinemia, further testing confirmed elevated serum cryoglobulin levels.

Background: Glycholic acid (GCA) can dynamically reflect the process of liver injury, and can be used for early diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of early hepatitis and cirrhosis. The highly sensitive detection of liver injury markers is conducive to a more accurate and effective auxiliary diagnosis of liver diseases. In addition, the low trigger potential helps to avoid more chemical interference and improve the detection sensitivity.

To systematically evaluate the efficacy of Fuzheng Huayu (FZHY) tablets/capsules on hepatitis B-associated liver fibrosis or cirrhosis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in order to provide more accurate evidence-based medicine for clinical rational drug use. Randomized controlled clinical trial research reports related to the treatment of hepatitis B-associated liver fibrosis or cirrhosis with FZHY published in SCI and statistical source core journals were retrieved from databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).

Background: Clot waveform analysis (CWA) provides a global assessment of hemostasis and may be useful for patients with cirrhosis with complex hemostatic abnormalities. This study aimed to assess the association between prothrombin time (PT-) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT-) based CWA parameters and cirrhosis severity and prospectively evaluate the role of CWA in predicting mortality and acute decompensation (AD) over 1 year.
Methods: This prospective study included adult patients with cirrhosis between June 2021 and December 2023 at Chulalongkorn University Hospital.
