The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and nongenetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis …
What is this study about?The National Liver Cancer Screening Trial is an adaptive randomized phase IV Trial comparing ultrasound-based versus biomarker-based screening in 5500 patients with cirrhosis from any etiology or patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Arm A using …
We would like to collect approximately 12 ml of blood from 200 subjects diagnosed with PBC. The blood will be separated into plasma and serum and then placed in aliquots and frozen. The samples will be used in the future for PBC research.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease that lacks treatment options short of liver transplantation. This is secondary to rarity of the disease and poor understanding of the disease pathogenesis. We are participating in a multi-center study collecting PSC patients clinical and biological information along with genetic analysis …
We would like to collect approximately 12 ml of blood from 400 subjects diagnosed with PSC. The blood will be separated into plasma and serum and then placed in aliquots and frozen. The samples will be use in the future for PSC research.
The purpose of this study is to assess health-related quality of life (HR QOL) in 200 consecutive adults affected with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to relate their health-related quality of life to their liver function.
What is this study about?One of the most common symptoms reported by people with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is fatigue (tiredness and lack of energy). The impact of fatigue on quality of life is substantial and the role that diet plays in the amount of fatigue is unknown. The purpose of …
NAFLD is a common liver disease in the United States. The causes of NAFLD are unknown, but are probably due to different reasons, from inherited characteristics to personal lifestyle. Some reasons may increase the chance of developing NAFLD (these are called “risk factors”) while other reasons may decrease the chance …
