M. S.; FARIAS, Alberto Queiroz; PINHO, Joao Renato; TANIGAWA, Ryan Yukimatsu; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; CARRILHO, Flair Jose; PESSOA, Mario GuimaraesOBJECTIVES: Co-infection with hepatitis A or B viruses may aggravate liver injury in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, few studies have assessed co-infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) and HCV. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and impact of HEV infection among Brazilian patients with chronic HCV infection. METHODS: This observational study included adult patients with chronic HCV infection who were naive to antiviral therapy from January 2013 to March 2016. A total of 181 patients were enrolled, and HEV serology and PCR were performed for all patients. RESULTS: Seropositivity for anti-HEV IgG was detected in 22 (12.0%) patients and anti-HEV immunoglobulin M in 3 (1.6%). HEV RNA showed inconclusive results in nine (4.9%) patients and was undetectable in the remaining patients. HEV serology positive patients had more severe liver disease, characterized by liver fibrosis >= 3 versus <= 2 (p<0.001), Aspartate Aminotransferase-to-Platelet Ratio Index of >= 1.45 (p=0.003), and Fibrosis-4 score of >= 3.25 (p=0.001). Additionally, the odds of HEV-positive patients developing diabetes mellitus were 3.65 (95% CI 1.40-9.52) times the corresponding odds of HEV-negative patients. A case-control-based histological analysis (n=11 HEV-HCV-positive patients and n=22 HCV-positive patients) showed no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: This prevalence is higher than that reported in previous studies of the general population in Brazil. Thus, HEV infection may influence the severity of liver disease and may represent an additional risk of developing diabetes mellitus in patients with HCV infection.

conferenceObject Serum B-type natriuretic peptide is more accurate than ascites analyses in the diagnosis of ascites related to heart failure(2013) FARIAS, A. Q.; SILVESTRE, O.

C.- beta-Blocker therapy for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy: a randomized-controlled trial(2018) SILVESTRE, Odilson M.; FARIAS, Alberto Q.; RAMOS, Danusa S.; FURTADO, Meive S.; RODRIGUES, Ana C.; XIMENES, Rafael O.; MAZO, Daniel F. de Campos; ZITELLI, Patricia M. Yoshimura; DINIZ, Marcio A.; ANDRADE, Jose L.; STRUNZ, Celia; FRIEDMANN, Antonio A.; LEE, Samuel S.; CARRILHO, Flair J.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.; BACAL, FernandoBackground Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is characterized by an attenuated contractile response to stress. Long-term exposure of beta-adrenergic receptors to persistently high levels of catecholamines has been implicated in its pathogenesis. We hypothesized that beta-blockade with metoprolol could reverse the changes in heart function and morphology in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Patients and methods In this prospective randomized trial, we included 78 patients aged between 18 and 60 years with abnormal cardiac output response under dobutamine stress echocardiography, without primary cardiac disease or a history of alcohol intake. Patients were assigned randomly to receive metoprolol or placebo for 6 months. The primary endpoint was the improvement in cardiac output response to stress, measured by an increase in the left ventricle stroke volume more than 30%. Results Three (7.3%) patients in the metoprolol group and nine (24.3%) patients in the placebo group showed improved stroke volume (P=0.057). Diastolic dysfunction was found in two (4.8%) patients before and in five (15.6%) patients after therapy in the metoprolol group, and in 10 (27%) patients before and nine (31%) patients after therapy in the placebo group (P=0.67). After treatment, no echocardiography parameter of morphology was significantly different between metoprolol or placebo groups. No significant differences were observed in noradrenaline, plasma renin activity, and troponin levels between groups. Cirrhosis-related clinical events, including hospitalizations and mortality, were not significantly different between the two groups. Six months of therapy with beta-blocker did not ameliorate heart function and morphology in patients with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.

B. da Costa; MAZO, Daniel F. de Campos; BACAL, Fernando; ANDRADE, Jose L.; GONCALVES, Luciana L.; STRUNZ, Celia; RAMOS, Danusa S.; POLLI, Demerson; PUGLIESE, Vincenzo; RODRIGUES, Ana C. T.; FURTADO, Meive S.; CARRILHO, Flair J.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.Heart failure (HF) is, after cirrhosis, the second-most common cause of ascites. Serum B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) plays an important role in the diagnosis of HF. Therefore, we hypothesized that BNP would be useful in the differential diagnosis of ascites. Consecutive patients with new onset ascites were prospectively enrolled in this cross-sectional study. All patients had measurements of serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG), total protein concentration in ascitic fluid, serum, and ascites BNP. We enrolled 218 consecutive patients with ascites resulting from HF (n = 44), cirrhosis (n = 162), peritoneal disease (n = 10), and constrictive pericarditis (n = 2). Compared to SAAG and/or total protein concentration in ascites, the test that best discriminated HF-related ascites from other causes of ascites was serum BNP. A cutoff of >364 pg/mL (sensitivity 98%, specificity 99%, and diagnostic accuracy 99%) had the highest positive likelihood ratio (168.1); that is, it was the best to rule in HF-related ascites. Conversely, a cutoff 182 pg/mL had the lowest negative likelihood ratio (0.0) and was the best to rule out HF-related ascites. These findings were confirmed in a 60-patient validation cohort. Conclusions: Serum BNP is more accurate than ascites analyses in the diagnosis of HF-related ascites. The workup of patients with new onset ascites could be streamlined by obtaining serum BNP as an initial test and could forego the need for diagnostic paracentesis, particularly in cases where the cause of ascites is uncertain and/or could be the result of HF.

Our aim was to evaluate the impact of sustained virological response (SVR) on cognitive function and mood disorders. Method: A prospective exploratory one arm study was conducted. Adult clinically compensated HVC patients were consecutively recruited before treatment with interferon and ribavirin for 24 to 48 weeks, according to HCV genotype. Clinical, neurocognitive and mood assessments using the PRIME-MD and BDI instruments were performed at baseline, right after half of the expected treatment has been reached and 6 months after the end of antiviral treatment. Exclusion criteria were the use of illicit psychotropic substances, mental confusion, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatocellular carcinoma, severe anemia, untreated hypothyroidism, Addison syndrome and major depression before treatment. Results: Thirty six patients were enrolled and 21 completed HCV treatment (n = 16 with SVR and n = 5 without). Regardless of the viral clearance at the end of treatment, there was a significant improvement in the immediate verbal episodic memory (p = 0.010), delayed verbal episodic memory (p = 0.007), selective attention (p < 0.001) and phonemic fluency (p = 0.043). Patients with SVR displayed significant improvement in immediate (p = 0.045) and delayed verbal episodic memory (p = 0.040) compared to baseline. The baseline frequency of depression was 9.5%, which rose to 52.4% during treatment, and returned to 9.5% 6 months after the end of treatment, without significant difference between patients with and without SVR. Depressive symptoms were observed in 19.1% before treatment, 62% during (p = 0.016) and 28.6% 6 months after the end of treatment (p = 0.719). Conclusions: Eradication of HCV infection improved cognitive performance but did not affect the frequency of depressive symptoms at least in the short range.
