    Abstract Coffee consumption is associated with a variety of positive health outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease, including decreased liver-related mortality. The evidence for this has come from a wide variety of epidemiological studies over the past decade and remains consistent. Because coffee contains a large number of constituent molecules, many of which vary based on coffee source, roasting approach, and preparation, it has been difficult to identify the mechanisms by which coffee improves liver-related health. The caffeine hypothesis suggests that the primary active ingredient in coffee in this context is caffeine, which is an antagonist of liver adenosine receptors. However, some lines of data suggest caffeine-independent effects as well. This review examines the biological plausibility for caffeine-independent effects in the context of a recent publication in this journal.

    Abstract A variety of observational studies have demonstrated that coffee, likely acting through caffeine, improves health outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease. The primary pharmacologic role of caffeine is to act as an inhibitor of adenosine receptors. Because key liver cells express adenosine receptors linked to liver injury, regeneration, and fibrosis, it is plausible that the biological effects of coffee are explained by effects of caffeine on adenosinergic signaling in the liver. This review is designed to help the reader make sense of that hypothesis, highlighting key observations in the literature that support or dispute it.

    Abstract Coffee is acknowledged as the most widely used drug worldwide. Coffee is also a foodstuff, so its use is often used to satisfy dietary urges. When used as a drug, coffee is normally consumed as a stimulant rather than to treat or prevent particular diseases. Recently, coffee consumption has been inversely related to progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma. Experiments in cellular and animal models have provided biological plausibility for coffee as an antifibrotic agent in the liver. A recent article examined one of the key questions regarding the antifibrotic role of coffee-specifically what is the primary antifibrotic agent in coffee? This article briefly reviews the relevant issues with regard to coffee as an antifibrotic agent for patients with chronic liver disease.

    Abstract Novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic that has spread across the globe. The virus primarily infects type-2 pneumocytes in alveoli and causes lung disease, with severity ranging from mild pneumonia to acute respiratory distress syndrome. The virus also invades gastrointestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes, and biliary epithelial cells. Derangement of liver function tests is noted in about one third of patients and appears to correlate with more severe disease. There are multiple mechanisms by which the virus can cause liver injury; immune-mediated inflammation and direct viral cytotoxicity are believed to be the predominant mechanisms. Liver injury appears to be transient, usually recovering with resolution of illness. Limited available studies and experience from prior corona virus pandemics seem to suggest that immunosuppressed patients have similar outcomes compared to non-immunosuppressed patients. Age and comorbid conditions seem to influence outcome, irrespective of immune status. Additionally, patients with preexisting comorbid conditions are more prone to acquire infection and should strictly adhere to travel and social distancing advisories. Telemedicine should be utilized to provide uninterrupted care for patients with liver disease, and clinic or hospital visits should be advised only in sick patients with advanced liver disease. In conclusion, liver dysfunction is not uncommon in COVID-19, it generally improves with resolution of disease, and patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) need continued follow up, uninterrupted by the ongoing pandemic, preferably in virtual clinic settings.

    Abstract Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common liver disease in children, is strongly associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Although type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by insulin deficiency, increasing obesity rates among children with T1D is a major risk factor for NAFLD in this patient population. Predisposing factors for NAFLD in children with T1D are not known.
    Study design: This is a cross-sectional study comparing children with T1D across the range of body mass index (BMI) to the BMI-matched obese group without T1D. Hepatic steatosis was semi-quantitatively measured via the vibration-controlled transient elastogram (VCTE) method. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between controlled-attenuated parameter (CAP) scores and clinical parameters. Receiver-operator curve (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of several clinical parameters against NAFLD status determined via CAP.
    Results: Two-thirds of subjects with obesity had CAP scores suggestive of NAFLD, while 16 % (n = 6) of T1D patients without obesity had elevated CAP. Obese subjects were different from non-obese subjects in many laboratory and clinical characteristics, regardless of T1D status. CAP score was significantly associated with BMI, HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-c), and HbA1c in all subjects as well as the T1D-only subgroup. Among subjects with obesity only, age, HDL-cand ALT were the most significant predictors. Diagnostic performance of BMI, HDL-c, and BMI/HDL ratio were in the good to the excellent range for predicting NAFLD among all subjects, while performance varied for T1D-only or obesity-only groups.
    Conclusion: The clinical and imaging findings of children with T1D and obesity are comparable to non-diabetic children with a similar degree of obesity. Obesity is the major risk factor for NAFLD in pediatric T1D. BMI, HDL-c, and BMI/HDL ratio may be helpful markers to determine further workup for NAFLD in children with T1D, particularly those with obesity.
