Venous hums in hepatic cirrhosis.
from Post-mortem Record (Bland-Sutton Institute, No. 228/47). Nothing abnormal was found in the heart, great vessels, or lungs. Blood clots were present in the lumen of the cesophagus, and dilated tortuous veins in the submucosa, extending from the cardia to the level of the aortic arch. A circular perforation, 5 mm. in diameter, was found in a vessel 8 cm. from the cardia. There was no-free fl...
متن کاملPulmonary arterio-venous fistulae in hepatic cirrhosis.
Cyanosis, clubbing, and arterial oxygen desaturation may occur in patients with liver disease, and are attributed to the presence of pulmonary or peripheral arterio-venous shunting. Cardiac catheterisation and angiocardiography in a patient with a normal heart did not demonstrate the presence of abnormal arterio-venous anastomoses. Pulmonary shunting was proved when intravenous technetium-label...
متن کاملMinimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients with Cirrhosis by Measuring Liver Stiffness and Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient
BACKGROUND/AIM Transient elastography (TE) of liver and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) allows accurate prediction of cirrhosis and its complications in patients with chronic liver disease. There is no study on prediction of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using TE and HVPG in patients with cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive cirrhotic patients who never had an episode of...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of TLR4 in endotoxin-induced hepatic encephalopathy in rats with biliary cirrhosis
Background: Hepatic encephalopathy is defined as a neuropsychiatric brain dysfunction in acute or chronic liver failure. Infection and inflammation have crucial role in its pathophysiology. The purpose of our study was to demonstrate the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression and the encephalopathy induced with endotoxin in biliary cirrhotic rats. Methods: The present stud...
متن کاملChanges in human hepatic metabolism in steatosis and cirrhosis
AIM To understand the underlying metabolic changes in human liver disease we have applied nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics analysis to human liver tissue. METHODS We have carried out pilot study using 1H-NMR to derive metabolomic signatures from human liver from patients with steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or alcohol-related liver damage (ARLD) to identify species...
