Profile, risk factors and outcome of acute kidney injury in paediatric acute ‐on‐chronic liver failure
ConclusionAcute kidney injury developed in 22.6% of children with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure. Bilirubin more than 17.7 mg/dL and presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome were high risk factors for acute kidney injury. Development of acute kidney injury in a child with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure suggests poor outcome and need for early intervention. (Source: Liver International)

Effect of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir + dasabuvir regimen on health‐related quality of life for patients with hepatitis C
ConclusionsDuring the active treatment period, small but statistically significant decrements in health‐related quality of life outcomes were observed potentially driven by ribavirin, which were not sustained during the post‐treatment follow‐up period. Differences were observed by patient subgenotype, where health‐related quality of life improvements were consistently higher for genotype 1b patients as compared to genotype 1a patients.
