Consensus on the diagnosis and therapy of hepatic fibrosis in / 中华肝脏病杂志

Hepatic fibrosis is a reparative response of diffuse over deposition and abnormal distribution of extracellular matrix (collagen, glycoprotein and proteoglycans) after exposure to various kinds of liver injuries, and is a key step in the developmental process of various chronic liver diseases to cirrhosis. Recently, many advances in our understanding of hepatic fibrosis have been recognized through the basic and clinical research. Therefore, we have organized the relevant domestic experts of this field to form consensus on the diagnosis and evaluation, treatment, and clinical development and application of therapy in order to better guide the diagnosis and treatment, and drug research and development.

Liver failure is a familiar clinical severe liver disease syndrome with a very high mortality rate. Over the years, scholars from around the world have been exploring the definition, etiology, classification, types, diagnosis and treatment, and prognostic judgment of liver failure.

Consensus on management of drug-drug interaction with direct-acting antiviral agents in chronic hepatitis C / 中华肝脏病杂志

Approved direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA ) in chronic hepatitis C were introduced. Metabolism and pharmacokinetics data of DAAs were analyzed. Comorbidity and concomitant medications of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients were extracted from Chinese Health Insurance database. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) were calculated by integrated above data and confirmed by using Liverpool DDI website. Based on those data, experts propose consensus on management of drug-drug interaction with direct-acting antiviral agents in chronic hepatitis C, including pre-treatment, on-treatment, and post-treatment.

Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of end-stage liver disease complicated with infections / 中华肝脏病杂志

End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a life threaten clinical syndrome with significantly increasing mortality when patients complicated with infections. For patients with ESLD, infections can induce or aggravate the occurrence of liver decompensation. In turn, infections are among the most common complications under, disease progression. There is lacking of working procedures for early diagnosis and appropriate management for patients of ESLD complicated with infections, neither guidelines nor consensus at home and abroad. This consensus assembled up-to-date knowledge and experience across Chinese colleagues, providing principles as well as working procedures for clinicians to diagnose and treat an ESLD patient complicated with infections.
