  2. Budd–Chiari syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd–Chiari_syndrome

    Budd Chiari syndrome may present with elevated liver enzymes; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are often elevated in the acute phase and then decrease over time as chronic liver disease develops. [2] Liver dysfunction can be indirectly measured with labs such as an elevated INR, decreased albumin level, and an ...

  3. Hepatorenal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatorenal_syndrome

    HRS can affect individuals with cirrhosis, severe alcoholic hepatitis, or liver failure, and usually occurs when liver function deteriorates rapidly because of a sudden insult such as an infection, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, or overuse of diuretic medications. HRS is a relatively common complication of cirrhosis, occurring in 18% ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbilirubinemia_in_adults

    [28] [29] The risk of developing kernicterus in CN-2 patients increases during physiological stress, such as prolonged fasting or anaesthesia. [30] In infants, a bilirubin-albumin molar ratio of >0.8 reflecting insufficient bilirubin binding is considered at risk of developing kernicterus but the indicative value in adults remains unclear. [31]

  5. Gastrointestinal bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_bleeding

    Bleeding is typically divided into two main types: upper gastrointestinal bleeding and lower gastrointestinal bleeding. [2] Causes of upper GI bleeds include: peptic ulcer disease, esophageal varices due to liver cirrhosis and cancer, among others. [3] Causes of lower GI bleeds include: hemorrhoids, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease among ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis

    Cirrhosis, also known as liver cirrhosis or hepatic cirrhosis, chronic liver failure or chronic hepatic failure and end-stage liver disease, is an acute condition of the liver in which the normal functioning tissue, or parenchyma, is replaced with scar tissue and regenerative nodules as a result of chronic liver disease.

  7. Ischemic hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_hepatitis

    Ischemic hepatitis, also known as shock liver, is a condition defined as an acute liver injury caused by insufficient blood flow (and consequently insufficient oxygen delivery) to the liver. [5] The decreased blood flow ( perfusion ) to the liver is usually due to shock or low blood pressure.

  8. Alcoholic liver disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_liver_disease

    Continuation of alcohol use will result in a higher risk of progression of liver disease and cirrhosis. In patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis, clinical manifestations include fever, jaundice, hepatomegaly, and possible hepatic decompensation with hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding, and ascites accumulation. Tender hepatomegaly may ...

  9. Alcohol intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_intolerance

    Various genetic and environmental factors exist that can lead to an increased risk for developing alcohol intolerance. Individuals with two copies of the ALDH2*2 allele are known to have high blood acetaldehyde levels and experience “hangover” symptoms such as heart palpitations for longer durations, even with low alcohol consumption.
