Impact of Abdominal Aortic Calcification Among Liver Transplantation Recipients
Yuki Imaoka, Masahiro Ohira, Ryosuke Nakano, Seiichi Shimizu, Shintaro Kuroda, Hiroyuki Tahara, Kentaro Ide, Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, Hideki Ohdan – 18 July 2018 – Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is known as a risk factor of coronary artery disease, stroke, hyperphosphatemia, chronic inflammation, diabetes, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate. However, the clinical implications of incidental AAC findings in liver transplantation (LT) have not been evaluated in terms of posttransplantation survival and complications.

Nonheavy Drinking and Worsening of Noninvasive Fibrosis Markers in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Cohort Study
Yoosoo Chang, Yong Kyun Cho, Yejin Kim, Eunju Sung, Jiin Ahn, Hyun‐Suk Jung, Kyung Eun Yun, Hocheol Shin, Seungho Ryu – 17 July 2018 – The effect of modest alcohol consumption on fibrosis progression in the general population with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. We examined the association of nonheavy alcohol consumption with worsening of noninvasive fibrosis indices in a large‐scale, low‐risk population with NAFLD. A cohort study was performed in 58,927 Korean adults with NAFLD and low fibrosis scores who were followed for a median of 4.9 years.

Liver Stiffness Measurements in Patients with Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension—The Devil Is in the Details
Raj Vuppalanchi, Karan Mathur, Maximillian Pyko, Niharika Samala, Naga Chalasani – 17 July 2018 – Noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is often a diagnostic challenge due to signs and symptoms of portal hypertension that overlap with cirrhosis. The etiology of NCPH is broadly classified as prehepatic, hepatic (presinusoidal and sinusoidal) and posthepatic. Some common etiologies of NCPH encountered in clinical practice include portal vein thrombosis (prehepatic) and nodular regenerative hyperplasia (hepatic).
