Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. In addition to established liver injury, type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most important extrahepatic metabolic disorders that...
The process of fibrogenesis is associated with the development of disease-specific markers. The management of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) depends on the staging of liver fibrosis. Use of noninvasive methods is p...
Sarcopenia is the process of loss of body mass, specifically the musculoskeletal tissue, with age, which ultimately leads to a syndrome of clinical entity poorly defined as frailty. It is probably as old as hu...
The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with disorders of the aortic wall, including coarctation of the aorta and aortic dissection. The histologic abnormality underlying aortic complications in bicuspid aorti...
Acute liver damage may be followed by biochemical, behavioral, and pathological alterations, which can end up in serious complications and even death.
Worldwide, the population treated with renal replacement therapy is increasing, representing ~1.3 million patients who undergo dialysis and 400 000 patients who are alive with a kidney transplant. Transplantat...
Colonoscopy is a technically demanding procedure with the potential to cause harm if its performance is suboptimal. It is incumbent on endoscopists, therefore, to evaluate their practices and to make improveme...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years. In the metabolic association of an elevated circulating chemerin level in the context of uremia demonstrat...
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury is a major cause of acute renal failure. The lack of validated early biomarkers for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) has hampered our ability to initiate potentially preve...
