Article Abstract

Introduction: To diagnose sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), transabdominal ultrasonography is usually used to detect hemodynamic changes, but we tried to detect the changes using four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT). A 42-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with late-onset SOS/VOD with transabdominal ultrasonography and was also assessed using 4D-CT. Method We analyzed the portal vein (PV) contrast effect every 1.5 seconds and plotted the values of the contrast effect. With this graph, we analyzed three hemodynamic parameters.

Result: We found that these parameters correlated with the patient's status and indicated stasis due to sinusoid constriction.

Conclusion: 4D-CT may become a helpful tool to diagnose and follow up with SOS/VOD.

Introduction: Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a vascular liver disease with a high mortality rate, and treatment methods are limited. Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological effect and potential mechanism of rivaroxaban on HSOS.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

Background: Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), or veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a severe complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), often leading to liver dysfunction and poor outcomes if not detected early. Traditional diagnostic methods, including ultrasound and liver biopsy, have limitations in sensitivity and feasibility. Non-invasive elastography techniques, such as transient elastography (TE) and shear-wave elastography (SWE), offer a promising alternative by quantitatively assessing liver stiffness.

We report a case of a female in her mid-40s diagnosed as norethisterone-induced liver injury. Our patient presented to the medical gastroenterology clinic with an incidental finding of progressively increasing transaminases. A detailed evaluation strongly supported our suspicion of progestin-induced liver disease with prompt reversal after discontinuation of norethisterone.

The picture of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is polymorphic, with variable intensity of clinical symptoms and prognosis. Most cases of DILI are acute, although the incidence of chronic hepatopathy has been reported to range from 3.4% to 39.
