Background: Acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF) has high 1-month mortality but it is difficult to predict. This present study was aimed to determine the diagnostic value of plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) in predicting the 1-month mortality of ACHBLF.
Methods: A total of 106 consecutive newly diagnosed ACHBLF patients were retrospectively collected. The plasma expression of DAO was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: The plasma DAO level of survivals [14.0 (7.1; 26.5) ng/mL] was significantly lower than the nonsurvivals [58.6 (32.5; 121.3) ng/mL, P < .001]. The plasma DAO level, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score were independent factors associated with the 1-month mortality for ACHBLF. The cut-off point of 15.2 ng/mL for plasma DAO level with sensitivity of 95.45%, specificity of 62.5%, 22.6 for MELD score with sensitivity of 90.91%, specificity of 67.5%, 0.07 for DAO plus MELD with sensitivity of 87.88%, specificity of 80% were selected to discriminate 1-month morality of ACHBLF. Furthermore, DAO plus MELD score showed high AUROC than MELD score for predicting 1-month (0.916 vs. 0.843, P < .01).
Conclusions: The plasma DAO level plus MELD > 0.07 predicts poor 1-month mortality of ACHBLF.

Unplanned dialysis initiation in patients known to renal services: A case-control study.
Clin Nephrol
December 2024
Dialysis initiation during an emergency hospital admission is associated with increased complications, more temporary access, and higher mortality. Even in patients known to nephrologists, more than one-third start dialysis in an unplanned fashion. This retrospective case-control study sought to identify features of the pre-dialysis period that are associated with unplanned dialysis initiation in patients known to nephrology services.

Idiopathic non-mast cell angioedema (INMA) is a rare disease typified by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and subcutaneous swelling. Every attack carries the potential for severe morbidity and, in the case of laryngeal involvement, mortality. Whereas therapies approved for hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been used in the care of patients with INMA, little is known with regard to their efficacy for the treatment of this disease.
