  2. 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 ...

    [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]

  4. 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 ...

    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% ...

  6. Liver failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_failure

    Liver failure is the inability of the liver to perform its normal synthetic and metabolic functions as part of normal physiology. Two forms are recognised, acute and chronic (cirrhosis). [ 1 ] Recently, a third form of liver failure known as acute-on-chronic liver failure ( ACLF ) is increasingly being recognized.

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    Other causes include: infiltrative liver diseases, granulomatous liver disease, abscess, amyloidosis of the liver and peripheral arterial disease. Mild elevation of ALP can be seen in liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and congestive cardiac failure. Transient hyperphosphataemia is a benign condition in infants, and can reach normal level in 4 months.
