The head of the Hepatology Research Group at IRB CatSud, Dr. Jordi Gracia-Sancho, took part as an invited speaker at the International Congress on Coagulopathy in Liver Disease, held in Castellana Grotte (Italy) from 8 to 10 April. The international meeting focused on the mechanisms of coagulopathy associated with liver disease.
In this context, Dr. Gracia-Sancho delivered the opening lecture of the congress, centred on the development of endothelial dysfunction in chronic liver disease. His presentation placed special emphasis on the molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to endothelial alteration —which regulates blood flow— as well as on the key role of the hepatic vascular compartment in disease progression.
Another topic addressed at the International Congress on Coagulopathy in Liver Disease was the emerging therapeutic opportunities aimed at restoring endothelial function and modulating hepatic microcirculation, with the goal of slowing disease progression and promoting its regression. The lecture highlighted the importance of the endothelium as a therapeutic target in liver pathology.
