Fendrick explains how stool-based colorectal cancer screening tests can help alleviate the current colonoscopy backlog amid growing demand for the procedure.

In this Q&A, Levy discusses the current treatment landscape for PBC and what clinical trial data suggest about seladelpar’s potential for these patients.

Fendrick explains the value of additional modalities for colorectal cancer screening to combat the colonoscopy backlog and help patients get screened.

HCV testing was accepted by more than 80% of patients undergoing mammography and resulted in prompt linkage to care.

Patients who missed their initial HCV treatment appointment had greater housing instability, transportation difficulty, and a history of medication non-adherence.

An analysis of FDA Adverse Event Reporting System data suggests baloxavir marboxil has lower hepatic toxicity than oseltamivir and may be a safer option for patients with liver diseases.

Results of the single-center study showed HCV treatment from PCPs decreased from 2015-2022 but must be improved to help reach elimination goals.

Study results showed systemic corticosteroids induced greater remission rates alone than in combination with other immunosuppressive treatments but were linked to adverse events.

Results showed metabolic dysfunction was an independent predictor of liver-related events and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic HCV who achieved SVR.

Study results highlight the role of HCV and alcohol use in the growing global disease burden posed by cirrhosis, which is projected to increase over the next 20 years.

The CRL for the sBLA cites a lack of sufficient data to support the full evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of a 4-dose regimen in this patient population.

The multicenter study examined the presentation and outcomes of patients with cirrhosis-related IgAN and compared clinicopathological profiles with primary IgAN.

The analysis of NHANES data revealed almost 90% of adults meet the criteria for stage 1 or greater CKM syndrome, consistent from 2011-2020.

A novel score based on a combination of cytokeratins and routine laboratory tests provided a more accurate diagnosis of HCC versus serum α-fetoprotein alone.

Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is an effective treatment for HCV with high rates of SVR, even in patients with cirrhosis undergoing a shorter treatment regimen.

This clinical quiz will test your knowledge of the 2023 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases/Infectious Diseases Society of America Hepatitis C guideline.

Results suggest chronic hepatitis B virus is globally underassessed and undertreated, especially among women and Asian minorities in the West.

Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir rescue therapy was safe and effective, and SVR did not significantly differ based on genotype, cirrhosis, or first-line therapy.

Findings suggest the potential prognostic value of time-averaged serum uric acid for predicting disease progression in IgAN.

Findings suggest unstable housing may inhibit direct-acting antiviral treatment initiation in PWID with unstable housing compared to those with stable housing.

Proteinuria < 1 g/d is the current treatment target, but findings suggest patients with uACR between 0.3 and 1.0 g/g face a substantial risk of adverse kidney outcomes.

Vitamin D concentration was significant in chronic hepatitis B virus but not hepatitis C virus infection, suggesting its potential impact on immune response.

Results showed the prevalence and treatment patterns for IgAN in select Asian Pacific countries and regions were not commonly available.

Results showed 46.45 and 72.74% increases in the global incidences of acute infection and HCV-related cirrhosis, respectively, in reproductive-age women.

Findings showed the light microscopy pattern of glomerular injury and the intensity of mesangial C3 deposition may refine the histological assessment of IgAN.

Findings suggest metformin and statins have a potective effect against HCC in patients with HCV who fail antiviral therapy.

This month in review highlights top coverage of the latest news in nephrology, ranging from new clinical trial data in IgAN to research about kidney disease management.
