Fibrates and cholestasis

Nisanne S. Ghonem, David N. Assis, James L. Boyer – 11 February 2015 – Cholestasis, including primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), results from an impairment or disruption of bile production and causes intracellular retention of toxic bile constituents, including bile salts. If left untreated, cholestasis leads to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, which eventually results in liver failure and the need for liver transplantation.

Cost‐effectiveness of hepatitis C treatment for patients in early stages of liver disease

Andrew J. Leidner, Harrell W. Chesson, Fujie Xu, John W. Ward, Philip R. Spradling, Scott D. Holmberg – 11 February 2015 – New treatments for hepatitis C virus (HCV) may be highly effective but are associated with substantial costs that may compel clinicians and patients to consider delaying treatment. This study investigated the cost‐effectiveness of these treatments with a focus on patients in early stages of liver disease.

Sasan Roayaie, Ghalib Jibara, Parissa Tabrizian, Joong‐Won Park, Jijin Yang, Lunan Yan, Myron Schwartz, Guohong Han, Francesco Izzo, Mishan Chen, Jean‐Frédéric Blanc, Philip Johnson, Masatoshi Kudo, Lewis R. Roberts, Morris Sherman – 11 February 2015 – Current guidelines recommend surgical resection as the primary treatment for a single hepatocellular cancer (HCC) with Child's A cirrhosis, normal serum bilirubin, and no clinically significant portal hypertension. We determined how frequently guidelines were followed and whether straying from them impacted survival.
