Aug 19th, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Most patients will develop liver fibrosis after their Fontan procedure, and many will require heart-liver transplants, according to a new review. "Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) is underdiagnosed," Dr. Juliet Em...

Apr 1st, 2020 - Noninvasive fibrosis scores, which are widely used to predict advanced fibrosis in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), do not do a good job of picking up advanced fibrosis in patients with underlying diabetes, according to a new.
