Introduction

Research in hepatology and liver medicine encompasses complex interactions between chronic liver disease, portal hypertension, transplantation, vascular interventions, and complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding. Contemporary clinical investigation in these areas frequently combines patient outcomes, procedural variables, diagnostic imaging, and translational approaches. The publications supplied for this profile place Adnan Said within this multidisciplinary research environment, with several studies examining outcomes associated with TIPS and liver transplantation. [2]

Research Profile

The supplied bibliometric information identifies Adnan Said as a medicine researcher with a Scopus author identifier of 35582909600. The stated profile includes 107 documents, 5,510 citations, and an h-index of 35. These indicators describe the publication and citation record supplied for this recognition page and should be interpreted in the context of the coverage, indexing practices, author-disambiguation procedures, and update timing of the relevant database. [1]

The supplied publications demonstrate substantial collaborative authorship. The listed studies involve investigators from different clinical and research specialties and include multi-author ALTA Group investigations. Such collaboration is particularly relevant to complex liver-care research, where procedural outcomes, patient characteristics, imaging, transplantation, and clinical management may require integrated expertise.

Research Contributions

The supplied publications identify several recurring research themes. One area concerns outcomes following TIPS, a procedure used in the management of selected complications of portal hypertension. A 2025 ALTA Group study examined portal hypertensive gastropathy and MELD-Na score in relation to recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding after TIPS. [1]

Another contribution concerns changes in platelet count following TIPS creation. The 2023 study was conducted by the ALTA Group and investigated platelet-count changes after the procedure, contributing to the broader evaluation of physiological and clinical outcomes associated with TIPS. [2]
