Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic liver disease is a silent epidemic worldwide. Published data from the World Health Organization and the Global Burden of Disease show that the burden of chronic liver disease is significant and increasing, primarily due to the increasing burden of metabolic liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease. Additionally, these diseases are associated with a substantial impact on the quality of life and economic burden. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and present the latest advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapies of chronic liver diseases. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, diagnostic, predictive and therapeutic studies. We are interested in exploring the impact of hepatology research in a clinical setting, with regards to pre-clinical data record, clinical data management, accuracy of diagnosis and new treatment options.
The Special Issue should present cutting-edge research demonstrating the effectiveness of research progress in the domain of chronic liver diseases.
We solicit original contributions, reviews and meta-analyses that include, but are not limited to:
- Preclinical and clinical studies on the new diagnostic tools and therapies related to chronic liver diseases;
- Systematic reviews that explore the current landscape on chronic liver diseases in clinical practice;
- Meta-analysis to summarize the trends and the evidence of international literature;
- Case studies that highlight significant successes or challenges encountered in the application of new treatment of chronic liver disease in real-life;
- Contributions exploring the current approach and novelties in the pre-clinical and clinical setting of chronic liver diseases;
- Articles discussing future perspectives and new challenges in the area of chronic liver diseases.
