In patients with cirrhosis and chronic liver disease, acute-on-chronic liver failure is emerging as a major cause of mortality. These guidelines indicate the preferred approach to the management of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure and represent the official practice recommendations of the American College of Gastroenterology. The scientific evidence for these guidelines was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation process. In instances where the evidence was not appropriate for Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation, but there was consensus of significant clinical merit, key concept statements were developed using expert consensus. These guidelines are meant to be broadly applicable and should be viewed as the preferred, but not only, approach to clinical scenarios.
Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Extra-Hepatic Manifestations: A Systemic Disease
Cacoub, Patrice MD, PhD1,2,3,4; Asselah, Tarik MD, PhD5,6
doi : 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001575
February 2022 - Volume 117 - Issue 2 - p 253-263
People living with hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronic infection are exposed to high rates of liver complications including end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Extrahepatic manifestations of HBV infection have long been underestimated. Several of these extrahepatic syndromes have been well described, including systemic vasculitides, glomerulonephritis, and cutaneous manifestations. Other manifestations have been more recently described such as hematological malignancies and neurological diseases. These extrahepatic manifestations are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although not completely understood, underlying mechanisms include HBV-induced local and systemic inflammation. Suppression of HBV replication usually improves extrahepatic manifestations. This review will discuss how HBV induces inflammation and the extrahepatic manifestations of HBV infection to guide clinical management.

Approximately half of esophageal biopsies from patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) contain inadequate lamina propria, making it impossible to determine the lamina propria fibrosis (LPF). This study aimed to develop and validate a web-based tool to predict LPF in esophageal biopsies with inadequate lamina propria.

Several scoring systems predict mortality in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH), including the Maddrey discriminant function (mDF) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score developed in the United States, Glasgow alcoholic hepatitis score in the United Kingdom, and age, bilirubin, international normalized ratio, and creatinine score in Spain. To date, no global studies have examined the utility of these scores, nor has the MELD-sodium been evaluated for outcome prediction in AH. In this study, we assessed the accuracy of different scores to predict short-term mortality in AH and investigated additional factors to improve mortality prediction.
Objectively Measured Physical Activity Is Inversely Associated With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: The Rotterdam Study
van Kleef, Laurens A. MD1; Hofman, Amy MSc2; Voortman, Trudy PhD2; de Knegt, Robert J. MD, PhD1
doi : 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001584
February 2022 - Volume 117 - Issue 2 - p 311-318
The disease burden of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases rapidly, in line with the obesity pandemic. Physical activity has been linked to a lower risk of NAFLD. However, the impact of different intensities of activity and sedentary behavior and whether their effects on NAFLD are explained by metabolic health remain unclear.

Treated patients with celiac disease (CeD) and nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) report acute, transient, incompletely understood symptoms after suspected gluten exposure. To determine whether (i) blinded gluten exposure induces symptoms, (ii) subjects accurately identify gluten exposure, and (iii) serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels distinguish CeD from NCGS subjects after gluten exposure.

Patients with serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) and their first-degree relatives (FDRs) have increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Patients with sporadic sessile serrated lesion (SSL) have risk for progression to CRC. Yet familial risks of common extracolonic cancers and even CRC in these cohorts are poorly understood. Our aim was to examine cancer risk for patients with SPS and sporadic SSL and their close and more distant relatives using a large population database.
