Abstract

Background: Variceal bleeding is the most severe outcome of portal hypertension. Endoscopic sclerotherapy and band ligation are endoscopic treatment modalities for both active variceal bleeding and secondary prophylaxis. Endoscopic sclerotherapy has been carried out in Sardjito hospital since 1998, while band ligation has only been carried out since 2007 year. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term Result of endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation in secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal eradication. Method: This is not a prospective study and is not randomized. The Results of patients who underwent endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation from July 2003 to June 2009 were compared. Patients were evaluated for re-bleeding and recurrence rates. Results: Two hundred and seventy seven patients underwent endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation during the period. One hundred and nine patients with varices eradication data; 49 patients who underwent sclerotherapy and 60 patients who underwent band ligation were followed for 1-119 (15.54 ± 20.70) months. The numbers of sessions for eradication were 4.33 ± 1.16 and 2.23 ± 0.59 for endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation respectively (p 0.001). Re-bleeding and recurrence rates were 38.64% and 84.21% for endoscopic sclerotherapy, and 25.93% and 70% for endoscopic band ligation (p 0.05). Conclusion: Endoscopic band ligation is more effective than sclerotherapy in the eradication of esophageal varices.   Keywords: esophageal varices, sclerotherapy, band ligation, secondary prophylaxis

Abstract

Background: The association between diabetes and chronic liver disease has been well documented. However, the mechanism remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the insulin resistance in chronic liver disease and normal liver in diabetic patient. Method: A total of 31 diabetic, non-alcoholic patients with multiple oral hypoglycemic drugs, either with or without lipid abnormalities were enrolled in this study. Subjects were recruited from outpatient clinic of Department of Endocrine at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Jogjakarta, Indonesia from May-June 2004. This was a cross sectional study. Fasting insulin and glucose level, liver function test, body mass index, and the presence of fatty liver by ultrasound were examined. Insulin resistance was estimated by calculating fasting insulin and glucose plasma level as the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index ratio. Data was described with mean ± SD and analyzed by independent sample t-test. Results: Thirty one patients were enrolled to the study, i.e. 8 patients with normal liver and 23 patients with fatty liver. Only 14 patients agreed to continue the study including 10 patients with fatty liver and 4 patients with normal liver. Mean of age was 59.1 ± 8.7 and mean value of BMI was 24.62 ± 3.05. The liver function test revealed normal Results. Triglyceride, cholesterol, fasting glucose level, and HOMA index (2.77 ± 1.95 vs. 1.66 ± 1.02) in patients with fatty liver were higher than patients with normal liver. No correlation was found between fasting insulin level as well as HOMA index and mean value of BMI (obese and non-obese) as well as hypertension. There was significant correlation between triglyceride level and fasting insulin among fatty liver patients (p = 0.048; CI 95% -7.404; -0.032). Conclusion: The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in diabetic patients with normal liver enzymes and multiple oral hypoglycemic drugs appear to be related with insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia. Keywords: fatty liver, diabetic, insulin resistance

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and irreversible disease. The patients quality of life (QOL) may be impaired because of long-standing burden of the disease. This research was a cross-sectional study conducted at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta to determined the QOL of patients with liver cirrhosis who hospitalized in this institution. The parameter for the QOL was measured according to Spitzer index. Sixty-five patients with liver cirrhosis of various etiology were abled to be studied. The number of male and female patients were almost equal (30 and 35 respectively). There was a reduction in QOL in both male (21/30) and female (28/35) but no significant different between this variable. There was a significant positive correlation between Child criteria, and nutritional status with QOL (r=0.68, p0.05 and r=0.37, p0.05). It was concluded that Child criteria and nutritional status were positively correlated with QOL.   Key words: Liver cirrhosis, quality of life, nutritional status
