ENDOCRINE LIVER CIRRHOSIS ↳ replacement of normal liver tissue i diffuse Fibrosis that disrupts the structure and function of the liver CAUSES 1 2. BiliaryObstruction alnutrition. 3 Alcohol Abuse 4. Infection 5. Drugs SIS : a. Fever b. Anorexia c. Esophageal varices. d Jaundice e. Weight loss. Ascites f. g Palmar erythema DIAGNOSTIC : · decreased total serum cholesterol protein , " phospholipids · prolonged PT , PTT · elevated serum ammonia , total serum bilirubin unconjugated/indirect bilirubin · elevated SGOT , SGPT , LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) · LIVER BIOPSY left lateral position , exhale deeply and hold breath for 5-10 seconds during needle insertion to prevent trauma to the diaphragm · PARACENTESIS check V/s , empty the bladder , upright or sitting position to localize the Fluids = monitor for signs of hypovolemic shock , Fever , pain , rigidity of the abdomen DIAGNOSTIC · elevated GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase) UTZ of the liver COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT * HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY give osmotic laxative : sign of effectivity : improve LOC give NEOKAN (Neomycin & Kanamycin) ESOPHAGEAL VARICES insertion of Sengstaken - Blakemore Tube Portal Hypertension limit H20 intake , treat the cause Ascites Food high in albumin Paracentesis-invasive , Dr. secures informed consent , nurse checks ; Upright position Administer Diuretic as prescribed Spironolactone - To avoid rupture of the varices , advice pX to avoid : 1. Screaming, shouting. 2 Straining at stool. 3 Bending stooping , 4. Coughing sneezing , * Supportive measures for variceal bleeding : Vit K Antibiotics Avoid ASA Frozen plasma - Fresh , , , PANCREATITIS inflammation of the pancreas ACUTE can be medical emergency I high risk of life-threatening complication s mortality CHRONIC often undetected bes classic clinical diagnostic Findings are not always present in the early stages of the disease FUNCTIONS OF the Pancreas 1. Produces pancreatic enzymes a Lipase for fat absorption b Amylase for carbohydrate absorption c. Trypsin For protein absorption. 2 Insulin production CAUSES severe alcoholism increase fat intake S/S : alcohol a.
