Assessment of silent liver fibrosis in hemochromatosis C282Y homozygotes with normal transaminase levels.
Beaton M, Adams PC Related Articles Assessment of silent liver fibrosis in hemochromatosis C282Y homozygotes with normal transaminase levels. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008 Jun;6(6):713-4 Authors: Beaton M, Adams PC BACKGROUND & AIMS: Population screening studies for hemochromatosis have demonstrated an increase in liver disease in C282Y homozygotes, but many participants have no evidence of liver dysfunction. Previous studies have suggested that liver fibrosis in hemochromatosis might be silent. The objective of this study was to assess the degree of liver injury in referred C282Y homozygotes who underwent elective liver biopsy and had serum AST and ALT levels < 40 IU/L. METHODS: All C282Y homozygotes who underwent liver biopsy with normal AST and ALT levels were included in this study. RESULTS: There were 35 men and 16 women in the study with a mean age of 51 years (range, 16-89). The mean serum ferritin level was 637 microg/L (range, 18-2062), and mean liver iron concentration was 131 micromol/g (range, 11-386). There were 42 patients with no fibrosis, 6 patients with fibrosis, and 3 patients with cirrhosis. CONCLUSIONS: Silent liver fibrosis with normal transaminase levels is seen in 18% of referred C282Y homozygotes. Studies that have reported on biochemical liver dysfunction in hemochromatosis might have underestimated the prevalence of liver injury from iron overload.

Management of obscure occult gastrointestinal bleeding: a cost-minimization analysis.
Somsouk M, Gralnek IM, Inadomi JM Related Articles Management of obscure occult gastrointestinal bleeding: a cost-minimization analysis. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008 Jun;6(6):661-70 Authors: Somsouk M, Gralnek IM, Inadomi JM BACKGROUND & AIMS: Capsule endoscopy (CE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) allow complete small-bowel examination but consume additional health care resources. A cost-minimization analysis determined the optimal initial management strategy for obscure occult gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). METHODS: We compared 5 strategies: initial small-bowel follow-through, enteroclysis, push enteroscopy (PE), CE, or DBE. Incorporation of multiple tests was allowed with costs taken from a third-party payer perspective. We modeled medically refractory disease with 2 separate model end points in which treatment or definitive diagnosis was necessary and in which visual diagnosis was sufficient to suspend testing. Sensitivity analyses included variations in parameter estimates, Monte Carlo simulation, and structural variations in the model in which DBE was not available as an initial strategy. RESULTS: When treatment or definitive diagnosis was necessary, the optimal strategy was initial DBE at a cost of $3824. An initial CE strategy costs an incremental $440. CE was preferred when DBE exceeded $1849 or when the sensitivity of DBE decreased to less than 68%. If DBE was unavailable as an initial test then CE was preferred to PE unless CE exceeded $1190, capsule retention was greater than 3%, or 64% of lesions were within reach of PE. When visual diagnosis was sufficient, initial CE was preferred. CONCLUSIONS: For OGIB, initial DBE may be the least expensive strategy when treatment or definitive diagnosis is necessary and initial CE may be preferred when visual identification is sufficient. In settings where DBE is not available as an initial test, initial CE may be the preferred strategy. PMID: 18550005 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
