Looks like his liver is on its last legs. #ascites

If you or your loved one has #cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and experience of #ascites (a build-up of fluid in the tummy), we would be grateful if you could spare 10-15 minutes to complete this online survey: https://forms.gle/6gCMw1eEdMqQ2sgG9

The ALB-TRIAL is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to see if a new biomarker can be used to predict which patients with #cirrhosis + #ascites benefit most from long-term human #albumin infusion. Moving towards personalised treatment, less complications & lower risk of death. 🔬⚕️🩺

👏 ALB-TRIAL hits 50% enrollment 🎉

Half of the planned 240 patients have now been recruited across 14 centres in 7 countries - great progress for the MICROB-PREDICT project!

Huge thanks to all site teams - Onward to full enrollment & better treatment for #cirrhosis patients with #ascites!

Risk of portal hypertensive complications preventable by TIPS in patients with ascites Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective treatment of recurrent/refractory ascites in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to identify patients with ascites a...

Drs. @LorenzBALCAR of @meduniwien.ac.at & @MartaTONON identify a #cirrhosis population with #ascites at particular risk for shortterm #PortalHypertension complications

Ascites #Grade3 + 🚨 MELD ≥12 or 🚨 Na ≤135
➡️ good candidates for #TIPS

New research led by @tcddublin.bsky.social scientists has uncovered how #phospholipid-rich fluid in the abdomen, known as #ascites, plays a central role in weakening the response of the body's #immunesystem in advanced #ovariancancer. #CancerNews www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #oncosky #immunosky Therapeutic options for individuals with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) are limited, especially for patients with peritoneal metastases & accumulation of abdominal fluid ( #ascites) .

"Real-world experience with long-term albumin in patients with cirrhosis and asscites" was a fascinating session. @Enrico Pompili (Bologna University) discussed long-term #albumin therapy in #cirrhosis with #ascites.

👏 Two great #EASLCongress posters today were taking a closer look at the model of end-stage liver disease #MELD: 1️⃣ WED-239 by Nikolaj Torp (OUH) on the 📊 prognostic performance of MELD variants and the CLIF-C #AcuteDecompensation (AD) score in a cohort of 958 patients with #cirrhosis and #ascites.

💡Relevance of hepatopulmonary syndrome,
intrapulmonary vascular dilatations &
residual minimal #ascites in the setting of #TIPS

🆕 Treatment of refractory #ascites: TIPS, tunneled peritoneal catheter (PeCa), or ascites pump?

🥇 TIPS: lowest incidence of complications
🦠 PeCa: peritonitis & device explantations 📈

❓What's the "sweet spot" of PPG reduction?
💡 60-80% ⬇️ = reduced ascites w/o increased oHE risk!

I had nice scrambled eggs on a muffin for lunch, it all landed well in my stomach, so stupid me thought yeah go ahead have a choc milkshake and an icypole not long after, been suffering ever since. Too much food in my squished guts #ovariancancer #ascites
