Objective: Preventing return to alcohol is of critical importance for patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis and/or alcohol-associated hepatitis. Acamprosate is a widely used treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). We assessed the impact of acamprosate prescription in patients with advanced liver disease on abstinence rates and clinical outcomes.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has rapidly emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally, representing a significant and escalating public health challenge. (Maxim.) Franch, a traditional Tibetan medicinal herb used for treating hepatitis, remains largely unexplored regarding its therapeutic potential and active components in combating NAFLD.

Introduction: A significant percentage of patients coinfected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV) are undiagnosed. Coinfected patients progress to advanced liver disease faster than HBV monoinfected patients, thereby consuming more healthcare resources. The aim was to perform an analysis to determine the cost of hidden HDV infection in Spain.

The lymphocyte population must traverse a complex path throughout their journey to the liver. The signals which these cells must detect, including cytokines, chemokines and other soluble factors, steer their course towards further crosstalk with other hepatic immune cells, hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells. A series of specific chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules drive not only the recruitment, migration, and retention of these cells within the liver, but also their localisation.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase gene promoter (TERT) mutations are biomarkers that predict survival and responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors in various malignancies. However, their prevalence and clinicopathologic characteristics in biliary tract carcinomas are largely unknown. We performed a comprehensive genomic profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from 485 carcinomas, including intrahepatic (n = 220), perihilar (n = 54), distal biliary tract (n = 110), and gallbladder (n = 101) cancers, using next-generation sequencing.
