    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_liver_disease

    Testing for chronic liver disease involves blood tests, imaging including ultrasound, and a biopsy of the liver. The liver biopsy is a simple procedure done with a fine thin needle under local anaesthesia. The tissue sample is sent to a laboratory where it is examined underneath a microscope. [3]

  3. Budd–Chiari syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd–Chiari_syndrome

    It is generally reserved for patients with fulminant liver failure, failure of shunts, or progression of cirrhosis that reduces the life expectancy to one year. [23] Survival rates in Budd–Chiari syndrome after liver transplantation are 76%, 71% and 68% after 1, 5 and 10 years respectively. [2]

    [6] [10] The disease typically develops slowly over months or years. [1] Stages of cirrhosis include compensated cirrhosis and decompensated cirrhosis. [11] [12]: 110–111 Early symptoms may include tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, nausea and vomiting, and discomfort in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. [13]

  5. Portal vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_vein_thrombosis

    Cirrhosis alters bleeding pathways thus patients are simultaneously at risk of uncontrolled bleeding and forming clots. [3] A long-standing hindrance in flow as in chronic PVT, also known as portal cavernoma, can cause an increase in the hepatic venous pressure gradient (portal hypertension) and increased blood flow through subsidiary veins. [1]

  6. 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/Metabolic_dysfunction...

    Weight loss is the most effective treatment for MASLD and MASH. A loss of 5% to 10% body weight is recommended and has shown regression of liver damage, with 10% to 40% weight loss completely reversing MASH without cirrhosis. A weight loss of greater than 10% was associated with resolution of MASH in 90% of people in a biopsy based study.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_veno-occlusive_disease

    Doppler ultrasound of the liver is typically utilized to confirm or suggest the diagnosis. Common findings on liver doppler ultrasound include increased phasicity of portal veins with eventual development of portal flow reversal. The liver is usually enlarged but maintained normal echogenicity. A liver biopsy is required for a definitive diagnosis.

  9. LI-RADS - Wikipedia

    The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (aka LI-RADS) is a quality assurance tool created and trademarked by the American College of Radiology in 2011 to standardize the reporting and data collection of CT and MR imaging patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or primary cancer of the liver cells.
