main objective: Investigate the prevalence of liver fibrosis according to TE values in children enrolled in a HPN-program. Secondary objectives: Investigate the correlation between TE values and ELF test score and APRI in children enrolled in a HPN-…
The aim of this study is to compare the image quality, diagnostic confidence and patient discomfort when using either positive (50 ml Télébrix Gastro + 950 ml water ) or negative 1000 ml water only in outpatients undergoing a contrast-enhanced…
To investigate the correlation between the CAP-value measured with the FibroScan® device and liver fat percentage measured with 1H-MRS in a well-characterized cohort of obese children at risk of having fatty liver disease.
To compare accumulation of liver fat (as measured using CAP) and liver fibrosis (as measured using fibroscan) between patients with quiescent and active inflammatory bowel disease
The purpose of this study is to improve the diagnosis and management of hepatocellular adenoma.
Analysis of volatile organic compounds in exhaled air as a non-invasive biomarker for liver diseases
To identify VOC profiles in exhaled air that are unique for specific liver diseases.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of supplementation of a high oral dose of omega-3 fatty acids on hepatic steatosis and glucose metabolism in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass surgery (LRYGBP).
The primary objective is to explore the association between peripheral T-cell activation and apoptosis and hepatic fibrosis in various underlying liver diseases. Secondary objectives are 1) to investigate whether level of T cell activation and…
To determine metabolites and natural occurring peptides in urine by mass spectrometry in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study is designed as a validation study; in a smaller study a spectrum of metabolites and natural occurring…
Primary objective: - To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the urinary trypsinogen-2 test for post-ERCP pancreatitisSecondary objectives: - To evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum trypsinogen-2, serum amylase/lipase for post-ERCP…
To demonstrate completeness of occlusion of the segmental portal branches after unilateral PVE by intraoperative portography. A secondary aim is to assess the perfusion of the liver after PVE on microvascular level by O2C and ICG clearance; and to…
To determine whether different MR-based imaging techniques and FibroScan can be used for the purpose of identifying and monitoring Gaucher Disease patients at high risk of developing disease related liver complications.
To assess whether cholangiography using the Kumar clamp is faster and easier than using the Olsen catheter.
Primary:- To determine default values of liver phosphorus metabolite ratios using 31P-MRS at 3.0T in healthy volunteers- To determine default values of fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the liver using DTI-MRI at…
The primary objective of this Registry is:• To assess the durability of sustained virologic response (SVR) following treatment in a Gilead-sponsored hepatitis C study.The secondary objectives of this Registry are:• To determine whether subsequent…
Main objective: investigate the correlation between CAP-values with fat percentages found at 1H-MR Spectroscopy and steatosis grade at liver biopsy. Secondary objectives: investigate the reproducibility of CAP-measurements; investigate the…
The primary objective of this Registry is:• To evaluate HCV viral sequences and the persistence or evolution of treatment emergent viral mutations in subjects who fail to achieve an SVR after treatment with a Gilead oral antiviral containing regimen…
To determine the prognostic value of transient elastography (Fibroscan) in PSC patients.
Evaluate effects of one month alcohol abstinence in a healthy population of moderate drinkers.
The aim of this study is to retrieve extra measurements by Nexfin and laboratory testing in the per- and postoperative period. Can the use of Nexfin contribute in the generation of meaningful data to get an idea of the hemodynamic state of the…
