LiverLearning®: 2020 Webinar: Chronic Hepatitis C 101: The Basics

As chronic hepatitis C infection therapy moves outside the realm of specialty care, more providers want to be well-versed in both identifying patients and treating them appropriately. This webinar is designed for the HCV-treating novice. We will utilize a live webinar format that will be recorded for on-demand viewing on Liver Learning ® .Lisa Catalli Lisa Catalli is a Nurse Practitioner at the University of California, San Francisco’s Viral Hepatitis Center and Liver Transplant Clinic.

Thyroid Hormone Signaling and the Liver

Megan J. Ritter, Izuki Amano, Anthony N. Hollenberg – 28 April 2020 – Thyroid hormone (TH) plays a critical role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis throughout life. It is well known that the liver and thyroid are intimately linked, with TH playing important roles in de novo lipogenesis, beta‐oxidation (fatty acid oxidation), cholesterol metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. Indeed, patients with hypothyroidism have abnormal lipid panels with higher levels of low‐density lipoprotein levels, triglycerides (triacylglycerol; TAG), and apolipoprotein B levels.

Breath Metabolomics Provides an Accurate and Noninvasive Approach for Screening Cirrhosis, Primary, and Secondary Liver Tumors

Galen Miller‐Atkins, Lou‐Anne Acevedo‐Moreno, David Grove, Raed A. Dweik, Adriano R. Tonelli, J. Mark Brown, Daniela S. Allende, Federico Aucejo, Daniel M. Rotroff – 26 April 2020 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and secondary liver tumors, such as colorectal cancer liver metastases are significant contributors to the overall burden of cancer‐related morality. Current biomarkers, such as alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) for HCC, result in too many false negatives, necessitating noninvasive approaches with improved sensitivity.
