Introduction: Different studies indicated the possible association between celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, although this evidence is not consistently accepted. The aim of our study was to determine whether HP infection and celiac disease were associated among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods: Between January 2017 and June 2018, patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with both gastric and du...

Introduction: Steatosis has become an important issue in hepatitis C, due to the injury it can cause in a chronically ill liver. In chronic hepatitis C patients, the prevalence of steatosis ranges from 40–86%. Steatosis was significantly associated with the lack of response using PEG-IFN and ribavirin. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of hepatic steatosis in chronic hepatitis C and determine its impact on the therapeutic response using new direct antiv...

Introduction: Disorders of glucose metabolism are often present in chronic liver diseases. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with type 2 diabetes in patients with cirrhosis.Methods: This is a retrospective study collecting all patients with cirrhosis between January 2010 and December 2019.Results: During the study period, 166 patients were included. Of these patients, 47 patients had type 2 ...

Background: Overweight is becoming increasingly more common among patients with inflammatory bowel disease and plays a role in the development and course of the disease especially in Crohn’s disease (CD). However, there is currently little data on his impact on the evolutionary genius of CD. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of overweight on the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and progressive characteristics of CD.Patients and Me...

Different studies indicated the possible association between lymphocytic gastritis and both celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori infection, although this evidence is not consistently accepted.Objective: We aimed to determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection and celiac disease were associated among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods: Between January 2016 and June 2017, patients over...

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes increases during cirrhosis resulting from a significant alteration in carbohydrate metabolism modifying the management of diabetes and worsening the liver prognosis. The aim of this work is to determine the prevalence of diabetes during cirrhosis, and to assess its prognostic impact on the disease.Material and method: this is a study collecting all cirrhotics followed in the gastroenterology department over a peri...

Introduction: Cryptogenic cirrhosis is cirrhosis that remains of unknown etiology after an exhaustive investigation. The relationship of cryptogenic cirrhosis with metabolic syndrome is strongly suggested. The aim of this work was to study the clinical-progressive profile of cryptogenetic cirrhosis and to determine the frequency of the metabolic syndrome.Patients and Methods: This is a study collecting all cirrhotic patients over a period of 4 years in o...

IntroductionDirect antiviral agents (DAAs) are a real revolution in the treatment of chronic hepatitis c (CHC). It is a short-term treatment with few side effects. Insulin resistance in patients with metabolic syndrome, causes the onset of steatosis, contributes to the progression to cirrhosis and decreases the chances of a response to treatment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the response to DAAs in patients with metablic syndrome.<p class="ab...

IntroductionCurrently, the incidence of metabolic steatopathies is clearly increasing. Unlike simple fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of our study was to determine the factors associated with these complications in patients with NASH.MethodsThis is a retrospective study including all cirrhotic patients followed betw...

IntroductionChronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated with an increased incidence of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with faster progression of fibrosis in these patients. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of diabetes on the severity of hepatic fibrosis in patients followed for CHC.MethodsThis is a retrospective study conducted between January ...
