METHODS: We compared the exhaled breath of 40 controls, 32 cirrhotic patients, and 12
cirrhotic patients with HCC using the Breath Biopsy platform. Breath samples were analyzed …

Methods To identify candidate biomarkers we compared 46 breath samples from cirrhosis
patients and 42 from controls. Collection and analysis used Breath Biopsy OMNI™ …

Background The burden of liver disease in the UK has risen dramatically and there is a need
for improved diagnostics. Aims To determine which breath volatiles are associated with the …

Breath samples were taken from 31 patients with liver disease and 30 controls in a clinical
setting and proton transfer reaction quadrupole mass spectrometry (PTR-Quad-MS) used to …

Early diagnosis of liver cirrhosis may prevent progression and development of
complications. Liver biopsy is the current standard, but is invasive and associated with …

OBJECTIVES: Analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the exhaled breath can
identify markers for alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of this pilot study …

The diagnosis of asymptomatic cirrhosis in patients with liver disease is of importance to
start screening for complications in due time. Liver biopsy is neither sensitive nor practical …

Background & Aims Selected-ion flow-tube mass spectrometry can precisely identify trace
gases in the human breath, in the parts-per-billion range. We investigated whether …

As part of an effort to examine the relationship between chemosensory disturbance and oral
chemistry, we analyzed expired lung air samples from a series of 24 patients with liver …
