New blood test to predict risk of liver cirrhosis, cancer within 10 years

A newly developed blood test may aid in predicting the risk of developing severe liver disease within 10 years, according to a study.  The study, by researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, showed that the simple blood analysis, if applied in primary care, may accelerate the detection of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. "These are diseases that are growing increasingly common and that have a poor prognosis if detected late," said Rickard Strandberg, affiliated researcher at the Institutet`s Department of Medicine, who developed the test. "Our method can predict the risk of severe liver disease within 10 years and is based on three simple routine blood tests," Strandberg added. For the study, published in the journal The BMJ, the researchers evaluated how well the method ...

Fall Means Darker Morning and Evening Runs, and You Should Be Prepared

Liver fat predicts health risks in children with obesity: Scientists

New research shows that liver fat, rather than bodyweight, is the key factor predicting which children with obesity will develop serious health problems, Israeli scientists announced on Sunday. A study by Tel Aviv University and the Dana Dwek Children`s Hospital in Tel Aviv suggests that obesity in children does not automatically spell poor health. Instead, researchers found that the amount of fat in the liver -- not bodyweight alone -- may be the key factor in predicting whether obese children develop serious illnesses. Fatty liver in children can lead to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and even liver cirrhosis later in life. The team examined 31 Israeli children with obesity, seeking to understand why some develop metabolic complications while others remai...
