Elliot Tapper ✅ Parenteral Vitamin K supplementation helps only in: 1️⃣ Cholestasis with ↗️ INR 2️⃣ Broad spectrum antibiotics and ↗️ INR 3️⃣ malabsorption and ↗️ INR ✅ Don’t help in CLD (unless the patient is taking vit K antagonists)

Hot take: Methotrexate does not cause liver fibrosis It’s ok to be cautious (periodic fibroscan). It’s ok to use MTX initiation as a trigger to look for fibrosis in at risk people (eg diabetes). But Time to turn the page pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36702175/ Edmond Atallah #livertwitter

HLA allele B*35:01 has now been associated with DILI from 4 herbal supplements: Green Tea Extract, Polygonum multiflorum, Turmeric and Garcinia cambogia. This suggests DILI from these agents maybe immune mediated. (PMID: 32892374, 34400337, 36252717) #livertwitter #gitwitter

1st clinical trial ever to show that adjuvant Rx with atezolizumab+bevacizumab after ablation or surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma improved recurrence-free survival. Atezo-Bev had: 👍 ⬇️ Recurrence rate...but 👎 ⬆️ Deaths & adverse events ☹️
