Discontinuing antivirals in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) 'e' antigen negative infection can enhance HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) loss but risks complications. We modelled the clinical impact of discontinuing antivirals in chronic HBV. We developed a Markov state model with Monte Carlo simulation of chronic HBV to compare continuation of antiviral therapy with 3 strategies of cessation and reinitiation for: (1) virologic relapse, (2) clinical relapse, or (3) hepatitis flare.

Objectives: To describe a rare case of transplantation-mediated alloimmune thrombocytopenia (TMAT) following liver transplantation from a donor with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to contextualize findings within the literature.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical course of a 63-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from a donor with severe thrombocytopenia consistent with ITP. Clinical, laboratory, and bone marrow findings were analyzed, and alternative causes of thrombocytopenia were excluded.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer mortality, and effective therapeutic options are limited. MicroRNA‑372‑3p (miR‑372‑3p) has been implicated in HCC, yet its exact role is unclear.

Methods: We established miR‑372‑3p‑overexpressing HCC cell lines (HepG2, SNU‑449, JHH‑4) via lentiviral transduction.

Background: Liver fibrosis is a key factor in the progression of chronic liver diseases, including viral hepatitis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. If untreated, fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis, increasing the risk of liver cancer or failure. This study evaluates the Fibrosis (FIB)-3 index, a novel marker free from age-related biases, for predicting liver fibrosis and 5-year outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We aimed to study risk factors for HCC and to assess the performance of the PAGE-B score in this population.

Methods: We included CHB patients with ≥ 1 metabolic comorbidity from nine centres.
