  2. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transjugular_intrahepatic...

    Thus, in people with advanced liver disease the shunting of portal blood away from hepatocytes is usually well tolerated. However, in some cases suddenly shunting portal blood flow away from the liver may result in acute liver failure secondary to hepatic ischemia. [6] Acute hepatic dysfunction after TIPS may require emergent closure of the shunt.

  3. Liver injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_injury

    A liver injury, also known as liver laceration, is some form of trauma sustained to the liver. This can occur through either a blunt force such as a car accident, or a penetrating foreign object such as a knife. [1] Liver injuries constitute 5% of all traumas, making it the most common abdominal injury. [2]

  4. Hepatic encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_encephalopathy

    The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy depends on the suspected underlying cause (types A, B, or C) and the presence or absence of underlying causes. If encephalopathy develops in acute liver failure (type A), even in a mild form (grade 1–2), it indicates that a liver transplant may be required, and transfer to a specialist centre is advised ...

  5. Acute liver failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_liver_failure

    Impaired liver synthesis of clotting factors, low-grade fibrinolysis, and intravascular coagulation are typical of ALF. Thrombocytopenia is common and may also be dysfunctional. Replacement therapy is recommended only in the setting of bleeding or prior to an invasive procedure.

  6. Portal vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_vein_thrombosis

    It is responsible for approximately three-fourths of the liver’s blood flow, transported from much of the gastrointestinal system as well as the pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen. [3] Cirrhosis alters bleeding pathways thus patients are simultaneously at risk of uncontrolled bleeding and forming clots. [3]

  7. Cirrhosis - Wikipedia

    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 a 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. Perihepatic packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perihepatic_packing

    The main purpose of hepatic packing is to prevent the bleeding so trauma triad of death can be avoided. [3] Under- or over-packing of the liver can cause adverse outcomes, and if the bleeding cannot be controlled through this surgical method, the Pringle manoeuvre is an alternate technique that can be utilized temporally. [4]

  9. Gastrointestinal bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_bleeding

    Despite treatment, re-bleeding occurs in about 7–16% of those with upper GI bleeding. [3] In those with esophageal varices, bleeding occurs in about 5–15% a year and if they have bled once, there is a higher risk of further bleeding within six weeks. [13] Testing and treating H. pylori if found can prevent re-bleeding in those with peptic ...
