Abstract

Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding may arise from variceal or non-variceal sources. Primary myelofibrosis, classified as a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms, represents an uncommon clinically significant etiology of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. The authors reported a case of a 39-year-old woman with recurrent variceal bleeding for six years. She presented with progressive weight loss, splenomegaly, and severe anemia. One year before her first episode of hematemesis, a bone marrow biopsy revealed myelofibrosis grade 2, and JAK2 V617F mutation was positive, confirming primary myelofibrosis. The treatment was discontinued due to high expense. Abdominal ultrasonography showed portal hypertension and changes suggestive of cirrhosis. She underwent successful endoscopic variceal ligation to control active bleeding, and initiation of a JAK inhibitor (ruxolitinib) was recommended for outpatient management to address the underlying disease. This case highlights that in patients presenting with variceal bleeding and portal hypertension in the absence of cirrhosis, myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as primary myelofibrosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis. This study aimed to raise awareness of primary myelofibrosis as a rare cause of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and emphasize the importance of early recognition and targeted therapy to prevent recurrent bleeding and disease progression.

Abstract

Background: The severity of dyspepsia symptoms is often overlooked despite established definitions and diagnostic criteria. The Short Form-Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (SF-LDQ) is a validated English-language tool designed to evaluate these symptoms. This research focuses on creating and validating an Indonesian version of the SF-LDQ.Methods: The SF-LDQ was translated into Indonesian following standard procedures, including forward-backward translation, cross-checking, and pilot testing. Unselected patients from Dabo Regional Hospital and Dabo Lama Community Health Center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat, or Puskesmas) completed a questionnaire upon enrollment and again after three days via direct follow-up or blinded phone interviews. Reliability was measured through internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) and test-retest analysis (Spearman’s correlation). Meanwhile, validity was evaluated by comparing SF-LDQ scores with Rome IV Criteria-based diagnoses from blinded physicians and analyzing diagnostic performance with ROC curves.Results: A total of 204 participants were included. The Indonesian SF-LDQ exhibited excellent reliability, with Cronbach’s α of 0.875 and Spearman’s correlation of 0.984 (p 0.001). Validity analysis demonstrated an AUC of 0.946 (p 0.001, 95% CI = 0.913–0.978). A cut-off score of 6.5 yielded 87.0% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity.Conclusion: The Indonesian SF-LDQ is a dependable and valid tool for evaluating the frequency and severity of dyspeptic symptoms.

Abstract

Background: Liver cirrhosis is a chronic progressive disease associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Although clinical management often emphasizes physical outcomes, assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) provides a more comprehensive evaluation of patient well-being. A validated multidimensional instrument for HRQoL assessment is SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Health Survey). Therefore, this study aims to compare HRQoL among patients with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using Indonesian version of SF-36. There are limited data from Indonesia comparing HRQoL across different stages of chronic liver disease, particularly including patients with chronic hepatitis.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Gastroenterohepatology Clinic of Saiful Anwar General Hospital, Malang, using 273 patients including 156 with chronic hepatitis, 88 with liver cirrhosis, and 29 with HCC. HRQoL was assessed using SF-36 questionnaire, which evaluated eight domains. Data were analyzed through Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Mann–Whitney post hoc analysis.Results: The results showed that HRQoL differed significantly across all SF-36 domains among the three groups (p 0.001), with the lowest scores observed in patients with HCC. Post hoc analysis showed a progressive decline in quality of life with increasing disease severity. However, no significant difference was found between cirrhosis and HCC groups in role limitations due to emotional problems (p 0.05).Conclusion: Advanced stages of chronic liver disease are associated with poorer HRQoL. Emotional role limitations appear less dependent on disease severity, signifying the need for psychological support across all stages.

Abstract

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a highly prevalent liver disorder associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, replacing the term Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The diagnosis of MAFLD is established based on the presence of hepatic steatosis accompanied by metabolic abnormalities such as overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or metabolic dysregulation. Although liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, its invasive nature underscores the need for practical, non-invasive biomarkers. This review aims to summarize the current evidence regarding thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2) as a potential biomarker of hepatic fibrosis in MAFLD. Recent data indicate that serum TSP-2 levels correlate with the severity of steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. TSP-2 also shows promise in distinguishing simple steatosis from steatohepatitis and in identifying patients at risk of advanced fibrosis. While these findings highlight the potential role of TSP-2 in diagnosis and disease monitoring, further clinical validation is required before its routine implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: The staging of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires evaluating the tumor size and number, liver function, physical performance, tumor invasion, extrahepatic metastasis, and clinical symptoms. Biomarkers such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and protein induced by the absence of vitamin K or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) have been identified as valuable diagnostic and prognostic tools for HCC. This study aims to investigate the correlation between NLR, AFP, and PIVKA-II and HCC stages.Methods: This observational study was conducted at the Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, Palembang, from April to July 2024. HCC stages were classified using the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system. NLR, AFP, and PIVKA-II levels were measured using  ELISA method. Data were analyzed susing one-way ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test.Results: A total of 38 patients with HCC who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. There was a weak positive correlation between NLR and HCC stage (r = 0.334; p = 0.040), a moderate positive correlation between AFP and HCC stage (r = 0.499; p = 0.001), and a strong positive correlation between PIVKA-II and HCC stage (r = 0.797; p = 0.000). PIVKA-II and AFP were found to have a significant sequential effect on the BCLC stage.Conclusion: PIVKA-II and AFP are significant indicators for assessing BCLC stages, offering valuable support for the diagnosis and management of HCC.
