Bile Acid Profiles in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and their Ability to Predict Hepatic Decompensation
Mousa, Omar Y; Juran, Brian D; McCauley, Bryan M.; Vesterhus, Mette; Folseraas, Trine; Turgeon, Coleman T.; Ali, Ahmad; Schlicht, Erik M; Atkinson, Elizabeth J; Hu, Chang; Harnois, Denise; Carey, Elizabeth J; Gossard, Andrea A; Oglesbee, Devin; Eaton, John E; LaRusso, Nicholas F.; Gores, Gregory J.; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Lazaridis, Konstantinos N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background and Aims: Altered bile acid (BA) homeostasis is an intrinsic facet of cholestatic liver diseases, but clinical usefulness of plasma BA assessment in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) remains understudied. We ... -
Circulating markers of gut barrier function associated with disease severity in primary sclerosing cholangitis
Dhillon, Amandeep Kaur; Kummen, Martin; Trøseid, Marius; Åkra, Sissel; Liaskou, Evaggelia; Moum, Bjørn; Vesterhus, Mette; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)Background & Aims: One important hypothesis in primary sclerosing cholangitis pathophysiology suggests that bacterial products from an inflamed leaky gut lead to biliary inflammation. We aimed to investigate whether ... -
Comprehensive assessment of ECM turnover using serum biomarkers establishes PBC as a high-turnover autoimmune liver disease
Vesterhus, Mette; Nielsen, Mette; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Saffioti, Francesca; Manon-Jensen, Tina; Leeming, Diana Julie; Moum, Bjørn; Boberg, Kirsten Muri; Pinzani, Massimo; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Karsdal, Morten A; Thorburn, Douglas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background & Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are phenotypically distinct autoimmune liver diseases that progress to cirrhosis and liver failure; ... -
Enhanced liver fibrosis test predicts transplant-free survival in primary sclerosing cholangitis, a multi-centre study

Enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test was previously reported to predict outcome ... -
Liver elastography in healthy children using three different systems - how many measurements are necessary?
Mjelle, Anders Batman; Mulabecirovic, Anesa; Havre, Roald Flesland; Olafsdottir, Edda Jonina; Gilja, Odd Helge; Vesterhus, Mette (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-21)Purpose Liver elastography is increasingly being applied in screening for and follow-up of pediatric liver disease, and has been shown to correlate well with fibrosis staging through liver biopsy. Because time is of the ... -
