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 ...

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...

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: 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: 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...

IntroductionThe only currently available treatment of coeliac disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD). It improves outcomes, and reduces health-care costs. However, adhering to a gluten-free diet is difficult for many people. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diet adherence in real life and his impact on disease evolution.Patients and methodsThis is a descriptive transversal study carried out over a period...

IntroductionCeliac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy secondary to gluten intolerance developing in genetically predisposed patients. The atypical presentation is the most common form of the disease. The aim of this work is to report the various extradigestive manifestations associated with celiac disease.Patients and methodsThis is a descriptive transversal study carried out over a period of 10 years. All ...

IntroductionThe occurrence of thromboembolic events in celiac disease has been reported in the literature, especially in adults. The objective of our study is to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of thrombosis in celiac disease and to clarify the role of thrombophilic factors.Patients and methodsThis is a retrospective series of four observations of thrombosis among a cohort of 41 patients...
