| Abstract | Background Esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) is a common and ominous complication of cirrhosis and represents the degree of portal hypertension progression and cirrhosis decompensation, desiderating investigation into sensitive and specific markers for early detection and prediction. The purpose of this study is to characterize unique metabolites in serum of cirrhotic EVB patients and identify potential noninvasive biomarkers for detecting and assessing risk of variceal bleeding and cirrhosis progression through metabolomics-based approaches, as well as explore possible pathophysiological mechanisms. Methods We used ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to profile serum metabolome. In one discovery cohort (n=26, 13 cases of EVB), univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed to demonstrate separation between two groups and identify differentially expressed metabolites. Potential biomarkers were screened by Boruta and logistic regression analysis, further evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis and tested in two validation cohorts (n=34, 17 cases and n=10, 5 cases). Results Bioinformatic analyses demonstrated that EVB patients possessed distinct metabolic phenotypes compared with nEVB controls, characterized by 7 elevated and 6 downregulated metabolites, indicating that EVB-related metabolic disturbance might be associated with vitamin metabolism and fatty acid metabolism. Eight potential biomarkers were selected among which citrulline and alpha-aminobutyric acid with moderate AUC values, tested in the validation cohorts, were identified as specific biomarkers of EVB. Conclusion Our metabolomic study provides an overview of serum metabolic profiles in EVB patients, highlighting the potential utility of UPLC-MS/MS based serum fingerprint as a feasible avenue for early detection of EVB. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
