Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in liver imaging, offering enhanced diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and reproducibility. The integration of machine learning and deep learning algorithms into radiological workflows has shown significant promise across a wide range of liver diseases. Key applications include automated liver segmentation on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enabling accurate liver volumetry and lesion localization. In metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, AI facilitates the detection and quantification of hepatic steatosis using advanced image analysis on ultrasound, CT, and MRI, providing a non-invasive alternative to biopsy. AI algorithms also demonstrate strong performance in detecting, classifying, and characterizing focal liver lesions such as hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and metastases, improving lesion conspicuity, standardizing reporting through LI-RADS, and reducing inter-observer variability. Beyond diagnosis, AI is increasingly applied for risk stratification and prognostication in HCC, integrating imaging, clinical, and laboratory data to predict tumor development, aggressiveness, treatment response, and survival outcomes. Despite these advances, the clinical implementation of AI in liver imaging faces notable challenges such as the need for data harmonization across scanners and institutions, rigorous validation in diverse patient populations, regulatory approval, and ethical considerations surrounding patient privacy, algorithmic bias, and transparency. Addressing these limitations through robust research, multi-center studies, and carefully designed clinical integration strategies is essential to safely and effectively harness AI’s potential. With continued development and validation, AI has the capacity to enhance diagnostic workflows, enable precision medicine, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in hepatology.
人工智能(AI)已经成为肝脏成像的变革性工具,提供了更高的诊断准确性、效率和可重复性。将机器学习和深度学习算法集成到放射工作流程中,在广泛的肝脏疾病中显示出巨大的前景。主要应用包括计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)上的自动肝脏分割,实现准确的肝脏体积测量和病灶定位。在代谢功能障碍相关的脂肪变性肝病中,人工智能通过超声、CT和MRI的先进图像分析,促进了肝脏脂肪变性的检测和量化,提供了一种非侵入性的活检替代方法。人工智能算法在检测、分类和表征局灶性肝脏病变(如血管瘤、局灶性结节增生、肝细胞癌(HCC)和转移)、提高病变的显著性、通过LI-RADS规范报告、减少观察者之间的差异方面也表现出了很强的性能。除了诊断之外,人工智能越来越多地应用于HCC的风险分层和预后,整合影像学、临床和实验室数据来预测肿瘤的发展、侵袭性、治疗反应和生存结果。尽管取得了这些进展,但人工智能在肝脏成像中的临床应用仍面临着显著的挑战,例如需要在扫描仪和机构之间协调数据、在不同患者群体中进行严格验证、监管批准以及围绕患者隐私、算法偏见和透明度的伦理考虑。通过强有力的研究、多中心研究和精心设计的临床整合策略来解决这些限制,对于安全有效地利用人工智能的潜力至关重要。随着不断的开发和验证,人工智能有能力加强诊断工作流程,实现精准医疗,并最终改善肝病患者的治疗效果。

Background and Aims

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a progressive condition characterized by excess hepatic fat accumulation in the absence of significant hepatocellular injury. Its more severe form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), includes hepatic inflammation and hepatocellular ballooning and may progress to fibrosis or cirrhosis. Although MASLD appears to be slightly less prevalent in pregnant individuals than in the general population, emerging evidence suggests clinically meaningful associations with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This review aims to summarize current evidence on the epidemiology, clinical implications, and management of MASLD during pregnancy.

Methods

A narrative review of the published literature was conducted to evaluate data on MASLD and MASH in pregnancy, including associations with maternal metabolic conditions, obstetric and neonatal outcomes, disease severity, screening considerations, and available therapeutic approaches.

Results

MASLD during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and demonstrates a bidirectional relationship with gestational diabetes mellitus. Several studies suggest a dose–response relationship, with greater MASLD severity corresponding to higher risks of complications. Despite these associations, routine screening for MASLD in pregnant populations is not currently recommended. Management remains centered on lifestyle interventions, including dietary modification and physical activity. Recently approved pharmacologic agents for MASH, such as resmetirom and semaglutide, represent important advances in non-pregnant populations; however, pregnancy-specific safety data for these therapies are lacking.

Conclusions

MASLD in pregnancy is an emerging clinical concern with important implications for maternal and fetal health. While lifestyle modification remains the cornerstone of management, the absence of pregnancy-specific safety data for newer pharmacologic therapies highlights a critical knowledge gap. Further research is urgently needed to clarify risk stratification, screening strategies, and safe therapeutic options for MASLD in pregnant populations.
背景和目的代谢功能障碍相关脂肪变性肝病(MASLD)是一种进行性疾病,其特征是在没有显著肝细胞损伤的情况下,肝脏脂肪堆积过多。其更严重的形式是代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝炎(MASH),包括肝脏炎症和肝细胞水肿,并可能发展为纤维化或肝硬化。尽管MASLD在孕妇中的流行程度似乎略低于一般人群,但新出现的证据表明其与孕产妇和新生儿不良结局有临床意义的关联。本文综述了妊娠期MASLD的流行病学、临床意义和治疗方面的最新证据。方法对已发表的文献进行叙述性回顾,以评估妊娠期MASLD和MASH的数据,包括与孕产妇代谢状况、产科和新生儿结局、疾病严重程度、筛查考虑和可用治疗方法的关系。结果妊娠期smasld与孕产妇和新生儿不良结局的风险增加有关,并与妊娠期糖尿病呈双向关系。几项研究表明存在剂量-反应关系,MASLD严重程度越高,并发症的风险越高。尽管存在这些关联,但目前不建议孕妇进行MASLD的常规筛查。治疗仍然以生活方式干预为中心,包括饮食调整和体育锻炼。最近批准的用于MASH的药物,如雷司替龙和西马鲁肽,在非怀孕人群中代表了重要的进展;然而,这些疗法的妊娠特异性安全性数据缺乏。结论妊娠期smasld是一个新兴的临床问题,对母婴健康具有重要意义。虽然生活方式的改变仍然是治疗的基石,但缺乏针对妊娠的新药物治疗的安全性数据突出了一个关键的知识差距。迫切需要进一步的研究来阐明妊娠人群MASLD的风险分层、筛查策略和安全的治疗选择。

Background

Preoperative infection is a major determinant of outcome following liver transplant. The current study aims to assess the impact of preoperative infection on posttransplant outcomes following adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods

LDLT recipients (n = 578; retrospective cohort: 452, prospective cohort: 126) were divided into group 1 (pre-PDLT infection within 15 days), group 2 (15–30 days), group 3 (30–90 days), group 4 (>90 days), and group 5 (without documented infection). The impact of timelines of pretransplant infections on posttransplant sepsis-related outcomes and mortality were analyzed.

Results

The groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 comprised 104(18%), 35(6%), 44(8%), 222(38%), and 173(30%) recipients, respectively. Posttransplant sepsis and septic shock were seen in 278(48%) and 133(23%) patients, respectively. Three-month mortality was 12.1% (70/578) and 55.7% of them had mortality attributed to sepsis. Group 1 and 2 recipients experienced higher three-month overall and sepsis-related mortality [25.17% vs 8%; odds ratio (OR):3.87(2.31–6.47); P = 0.04] and [80% vs 31.42%; OR: 8.73(2.92–26.04); P=<0.001], respectively, compared to the other groups. With an upper limit of three-month mortality kept at 10%, receiver operating characteristic curve showed minimum pretransplant ‘infection-free interval’ of 27days (Area Under Curve = 0.780). Multivariate analysis revealed pre-LDLT infection within 27 days [OR :3.61(2.83–4.44)], pre-LDLT infection with multidrug-resistant (MDR)/extensively drug-resistant (XDR) organisms [OR :4.8 (1.6–14.9)], MELD >25 [OR :2.51 (1.09–5.79)], and biliary/vascular complications [OR :1.82 (1.10–2.74)] predicted three-month mortality.

Conclusion

Infection within one month before LDLT is associated with high overall and sepsis-related three-month mortality. Preoperative infection within 27 days and MDR/XDR infections, MELD-Na >25, and post-LDLT biliary/vascular complications predicted mortality.

Trial registration

Present RCT was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05109156).

CT coronary calcium (CT Ca) score is a non-invasive method for assessing presence and severity of CAD in an individual. Coronary angiogram (CAG) is an invasive procedure and remains the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aim

To compare the efficacy of CT Ca score with CAG, for predicting severity of CAD during pre liver transplant (LT) recipient work-up.

Methods

CT Ca score was done for all listed patients. CAG was reserved for those >50 years or a CT Ca score >400 HU (Agtston scoring system). The severity of coronary artery stenosis by CAG was graded as normal, mild (<50% stenosis), moderate (50–75% stenosis, severe (>75 % stenosis) and extensive (> one major coronary artery) was involved.

Statistical analysis

Weighted Cohen's Kappa was used to assess the agreement between the CT Ca score and CAG for ordinal outcome. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy) were calculated for CT Ca score considering CAG classification as the gold-standard. RStudio Desktop latest version was used for analysis.

Results

158 patients had both CT Ca score and CAG. There was a significant overlap between CT Ca score and CAG score in detecting CAD. Comparing CT Ca score and CAG, 70 patients were correctly classified (44.3%) by the former, 66 (41.8%) were over-classified and 22 (13.9%) were under-classified. Overall, there was a statistically significant fair agreement between CT CA score and CAG severity index (Weighted Cohen's Kappa = 0.258; 95% CI: 0.140 to 0.377; P < 0.001). The accuracy with CT Ca score was higher (70.89%) for obstructive/non-obstructive CT Ca score i.e. >100 HU) compared to the abnormal/normal CT Ca scores (60.13%). For obstructive/non obstructive classification, CT Ca score was significant for past CAD (0.004).

Conclusions

CT Ca score provides a convenient and non-invasive method for the initial assessment of obstructive/non obstructive CAD in liver transplant recipients.
CT冠状动脉钙(CT Ca)评分是一种评估个人冠心病存在和严重程度的非侵入性方法。冠状动脉造影(CAG)是一种侵入性检查,是诊断冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的金标准。目的比较CT Ca评分与CAG对肝移植(LT)受者术前随访中CAD严重程度的预测作用。方法对所有患者进行sct Ca评分。CAG被保留给那些50岁或CT Ca评分为400 HU (Agtston评分系统)的人。CAG将冠状动脉狭窄的严重程度分为正常、轻度(50%狭窄)、中度(50-75%狭窄)、重度(75%狭窄)和广泛(1条主冠状动脉狭窄)。统计分析采用加权Cohen's Kappa来评估CT Ca评分与CAG对常规结果的一致性。以CAG分级为金标准,计算CT Ca评分的敏感性、特异性、阳性似然比、阴性似然比、阳性预测值、阴性预测值和诊断准确率。使用RStudio Desktop最新版本进行分析。结果158例患者均有CT Ca评分和CAG。CT Ca评分与CAG评分在检测冠心病方面有明显的重叠。对比CT Ca评分与CAG评分,前者正确分类70例(44.3%),过高分类66例(41.8%),过低分类22例(13.9%)。总体而言,CT CA评分与CAG严重程度指数之间存在统计学意义上的公平一致(加权Cohen's Kappa = 0.258; 95% CI: 0.140 ~ 0.377; P < 0.001)。梗阻性/非梗阻性CT Ca评分(约100 HU)与异常/正常CT Ca评分(60.13%)相比,准确度更高(70.89%)。对于阻塞性/非阻塞性分类,CT Ca评分对于过去的CAD具有显著意义(0.004)。结论sct Ca评分为肝移植受者阻塞性/非阻塞性CAD的初步评估提供了一种便捷、无创的方法。

Background and aims

Liver fibrosis is a key prognostic factor in steatotic liver diseases (SLD), including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), metabolic and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD), and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). This study aimed to (1) compare systemic inflammation and fibrosis across phenotypes, (2) study correlations between inflammatory markers and occurrence of fibrosis and (3) evaluate correlations between immune-inflammatory markers and fibrosis severity.

Methods

A total of 180 patients were categorized as MASLD (n = 69), MetALD (n = 43), and ALD (n = 68) based on the Delphi consensus. SLD was defined as hepatic steatosis on imaging in the presence of either metabolic dysfunction and/or alcohol exposure. Advanced fibrosis was defined as a liver stiffness measurement ≥12 kPa on transient elastography. FIB-4, APRI, Agile 3+ MELD, CTP scores, and systemic immune-inflammatory markers—neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and others, were assessed. Correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed. We derived a composite score using inflammatory markers, which identified patients with increased likelihood of advanced fibrosis, with high accuracy and a high positive predictive value.

Results

Out of 180 patients with SLD, ALD patients had the highest neutrophilic burden (mean NLR 6.56 ± 1.61), followed by MetALD (5.16 ± 1.36) and MASLD (4.30 ± 1.60) (P < 0.001). MASLD exhibited a lymphocyte–predominant profile (mean LMR 4.86 ± 1.17), as compared to MetALD (3.46 ± 0.74) and ALD (3.31 ± 0.98) (P < 0.001). A total of149 patients had advanced fibrosis. Fibrosis burden was highest in ALD (mean liver stiffness 27.43 ± 11.50 kPA), but it was similar in both MetALD (20.28 ± 14.29 kPA) and MASLD (20.49 ± 7.66 kPA).

Conclusion

Despite overlapping clinical features, MASLD, MetALD, and ALD exhibit distinct inflammatory profiles. Systemic immune-inflammatory markers, especially NLR, are closely associated with fibrosis severity. The developed Fibrosis-Inflammation Risk Model Score, offers a potentially scalable, cost-effective tool pending validation in broader real-world settings.
背景和目的银纤维化是脂肪变性肝病(SLD)的关键预后因素,包括代谢功能障碍相关脂肪变性肝病(MASLD)、代谢和酒精相关肝病(MetALD)和酒精相关肝病(ALD)。本研究旨在(1)比较不同表型的全身性炎症和纤维化,(2)研究炎症标志物与纤维化发生之间的相关性,(3)评估免疫炎症标志物与纤维化严重程度之间的相关性。方法根据德尔菲共识将180例患者分为MASLD (n = 69)、MetALD (n = 43)和ALD (n = 68)。SLD被定义为肝脏脂肪变性,影像学显示存在代谢功能障碍和/或酒精暴露。晚期纤维化定义为瞬时弹性图测量肝脏刚度≥12 kPa。评估FIB-4、APRI、Agile 3+ MELD、CTP评分和全身免疫炎症标志物-中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)等。进行相关分析和多元logistic回归。我们使用炎症标记物得出了一个综合评分,该评分确定了晚期纤维化可能性增加的患者,具有较高的准确性和较高的阳性预测值。结果180例SLD患者中,ALD患者中性粒细胞负担最高(平均NLR为6.56±1.61),其次是MetALD(5.16±1.36)和MASLD(4.30±1.60)(P < 0.001)。与MetALD(3.46±0.74)和ALD(3.31±0.98)相比,MASLD表现出淋巴细胞优势(平均LMR为4.86±1.17)(P < 0.001)。共有149名患者患有晚期纤维化。ALD的纤维化负担最高(平均肝硬度27.43±11.50 kPA),但MetALD(20.28±14.29 kPA)和MASLD(20.49±7.66 kPA)相似。结论:尽管有重叠的临床特征,MASLD、MetALD和ALD表现出不同的炎症特征。系统性免疫炎症标志物,尤其是NLR,与纤维化严重程度密切相关。开发的纤维化-炎症风险模型评分,提供了一个潜在的可扩展的、经济有效的工具,等待在更广泛的现实环境中验证。

Biliary Atresia: A Meta-analysis of Indian Studies 胆道闭锁:印度研究的荟萃分析
IF 3.2 Q2 GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-08-28 DOI: 10.1016/j.jceh.2025.103156

Biliary atresia (BA) is a leading cause of neonatal cholestasis and a major reason for pediatric liver transplantation (LT). Despite its clinical importance, research from the Indian subcontinent has historically been sparse and fragmented. Using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)–guided search, we identified 702 records and analyzed 64 eligible studies, most of which examined clinical features, surgical outcomes particularly after Kasai portoenterostomy, and short-term prognosis. Most existing research remains clinical, radiological, or laboratory based, with considerable variability across findings. Substantial gaps were noted, particularly in understanding disease mechanisms, etiopathogenesis, and diagnostic advancements.
This highlights the need for more focused, conceptually driven, and collaborative efforts. To advance understanding and care of BA in the Indian context, future research must incorporate multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular, genetic, and public health perspectives. By building on the growing interest and solid clinical foundation, India is well positioned to develop a cohesive, forward-looking research framework that addresses current gaps and fosters innovation in the diagnosis, management, and long-term outcomes of BA.
胆道闭锁(BA)是新生儿胆汁淤积症的主要原因,也是儿童肝移植(LT)的主要原因。尽管它具有临床重要性,但从历史上看,印度次大陆的研究很少,而且支离破碎。使用系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)引导搜索,我们确定了702份记录并分析了64项符合条件的研究,其中大多数研究检查了临床特征、手术结果(特别是Kasai门肠造口术后)和短期预后。大多数现有的研究仍然是基于临床、放射学或实验室,结果存在相当大的差异。注意到实质性的差距,特别是在了解疾病机制、发病机制和诊断进展方面。这突出了需要更加集中、概念驱动和协作的努力。为了在印度背景下促进对BA的理解和护理,未来的研究必须结合多学科方法,包括分子、遗传和公共卫生观点。通过建立日益增长的兴趣和坚实的临床基础,印度有能力发展一个有凝聚力的、前瞻性的研究框架,以解决当前的差距,并促进BA诊断、管理和长期结果的创新。

This review focuses on foundational knowledge about artificial intelligence (AI) in hepatology, exploring how AI, including machine learning and deep learning, leverages large-scale clinical data to transform the diagnosis, risk assessment, prognostication, and management of liver diseases. Online resources are described to offer fundamental AI knowledge and essential technical skills and to facilitate clinician participation across the entire AI lifecycle, ensuring they contribute not only as end users but also in development and deployment. Unlike traditional statistical approaches that prioritize interpretable parameters and clinical insight, AI focuses on maximizing predictive accuracy by identifying complex, often non-linear patterns using high-dimensional data, albeit often at the cost of model interpretability. AI is demonstrating clinical utility in liver histopathology and radiological imaging, significantly improving detection accuracy for cirrhosis, clinically significant portal hypertension, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Beyond diagnostics, AI-driven prediction models are emerging to provide personalized risk stratification for the development of liver-related complications and treatment guidance, based on complex data including longitudinal laboratory results, comorbidities, and co-medication use to monitor disease progression and therapy response. The field is rapidly expanding into novel areas such as analyzing patient-reported outcomes, genomic data, and real-time liver function monitoring, offering deeper mechanistic insights alongside clinical tools. Despite the potential to revolutionize hepatology practice and research, successful integration into routine care faces challenges. These include seamless workflow integration with existing electronic health records, establishing clear liability frameworks, and guaranteeing protection of patient privacy. Addressing these hurdles requires collaborative efforts from clinicians, researchers, and regulators to develop best practices and governance. Understanding the transformative capabilities, current applications, emerging frontiers, and essential implementation considerations is crucial for clinicians navigating the evolving AI landscape and responsibly utilizing its power for improved patient outcomes.
本文综述了人工智能(AI)在肝病学中的基础知识,探讨了包括机器学习和深度学习在内的人工智能如何利用大规模临床数据来改变肝脏疾病的诊断、风险评估、预后和管理。在线资源被描述为提供基本的人工智能知识和基本的技术技能,并促进临床医生在整个人工智能生命周期中的参与,确保他们不仅作为最终用户,而且在开发和部署中做出贡献。与优先考虑可解释参数和临床洞察力的传统统计方法不同,人工智能侧重于通过使用高维数据识别复杂的、通常是非线性的模式来最大限度地提高预测准确性,尽管通常以模型可解释性为代价。人工智能在肝脏组织病理学和放射学成像方面的临床应用,显著提高了肝硬化、临床表现明显的门脉高压和肝细胞癌的检测准确性。除了诊断,人工智能驱动的预测模型正在兴起,为肝脏相关并发症的发展提供个性化的风险分层和治疗指导,基于复杂的数据,包括纵向实验室结果、合并症和联合用药,以监测疾病进展和治疗反应。该领域正在迅速扩展到新的领域,如分析患者报告的结果、基因组数据和实时肝功能监测,为临床工具提供更深入的机制见解。尽管有可能彻底改变肝病学实践和研究,但成功融入常规护理面临挑战。这些措施包括与现有电子健康记录无缝集成工作流程、建立明确的责任框架以及确保保护患者隐私。解决这些障碍需要临床医生、研究人员和监管机构共同努力,以制定最佳实践和治理。了解变革能力、当前应用、新兴领域和基本实施考虑因素对于临床医生驾驭不断发展的人工智能环境并负责任地利用其力量改善患者预后至关重要。
