Pleural effusions develop in 6-10% of patients with end-stage liver disease. Although, commonly seen in conjunction with ascites, isolated hepatic hydrothorax can occur in a small number of patients with cirrhosis. Refra...
Background and aims. Most portal vein thromboses (PVT) in cirrhotics are discovered incidentally. While case series demonstrate improved portal vein patency with anti-coagulation, there is little information on impact of...
Background. Hepatitis A is the most common type of viral hepatitis in Mexico. The change of hepatitis A epidemiology in Mexico from high to intermediate endemicity leads to increasing susceptible adults for severe illn...
Introduction. Adherence to hepatitis C (HCV) care was suboptimal in the interferon era among underserved African Americans (AA), but adherence data in the era of direct acting antivirals (DAA) is lacking in this populati...

Pleural effusions develop in 6-10% of patients with end-stage liver disease. Although, commonly seen in conjunction with ascites, isolated hepatic hydrothorax can occur in a small number of patients with cirrhosis. Refra...
Impact of untreated portal vein thrombosis on pre and post liver transplant outcomes in cirrhosis
Background and aims. Most portal vein thromboses (PVT) in cirrhotics are discovered incidentally. While case series demonstrate improved portal vein patency with anti-coagulation, there is little information on impact of...
Clinical course and management of acute hepatitis A infection in adults
Background. Hepatitis A is the most common type of viral hepatitis in Mexico. The change of hepatitis A epidemiology in Mexico from high to intermediate endemicity leads to increasing susceptible adults for severe illn...
Direct Acting Antivirals Improve HCV Treatment Initiation and Adherence Among Underserved African Americans
Introduction. Adherence to hepatitis C (HCV) care was suboptimal in the interferon era among underserved African Americans (AA), but adherence data in the era of direct acting antivirals (DAA) is lacking in this populati...
