Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of bile duct cancer, especially in patients with fatty liver, where liver disease tends to be more aggressive.
A misdiagnosed case between primary biliary cholangitis and mild adult idiopathic ductopenia shows why obtaining a second medical opinion is essential in biliary duct disorders.
Autoimmune liver disease occurs when the immune system attacks the liver, leading to inflammation and damage. Although its cause is unclear, viruses, vaccines, and antibiotics may trigger it. Early diagnosis is essential to managing and treating this potentially severe condition.
Physical frailty, along with genetic factors like the PNPLA3 gene, raises the risk of developing severe fatty liver disease. The study highlights the importance of considering frailty in the prognosis of this condition.
Genomic medicine allows us to use the information available in the genes to obtain results that allow to treat diseases.
