7 Bile acids Cholic acid Chenodeoxycholic acid glycine taurine Jejunum Colon (small amount) Cholic Deoxycholic acid ] feces Chenodeoxycholic Lithocholic acid

8 Investigations: Bilirubin Enzymes- ALT (SGPT) AST(SGOT) ALP ᴕ-gt 5 -nucleotidase enzyme combinations Plasma proteins Immunoglobulins Coagulation factors α-feto protein copper ceruloplasmin ferretin Fe & IBC Serology- ANA ALKMA ASMA SLP-PA AMA

9 Imaging: U/S Radiography CT + MRI + MRCP Radionucleotide imaging TC 99 ERCP Cholangiography Arteriography Venography -Portal venography (Portal pressure = free hepatic vein pressure- wedged hepatic vein pressure = 3-5 mmhg) Endoscopy Ascitic fluid studies Liver biopsy & FNA Laproscopy

10 Jaundice > 3 mg/dl 1. Hemolytic 2. Hepatocellular 3. Obstructive [Cholestatic] - Intrahepatic- canalicular (hepatocyte) - Biliary Obstruction - Extra hepatic Clinical features Cholestasis of pregnancy Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis

11 Congenital Hperbilirubinemia Unconjugated- Gilbert s Syndrome (Dominant) Criggler-Najar- (I) recessive (II) dominant Conjugated- Dubin-Johnson (recessive) Rotor (dominant)

12 Portal hypertension Causes: (I) Pre-hepatic (II) Hepatic (III) Post-hepatic - Portal vein obstructions 50%? - splenic vein thrombosis - massive splenomegaly ( Banti s Syndrome) - Pre sinosoidal - Sinusoidal Cirrhosis Myoproliferative diseases Drugs Sarcoid - Post-sinosoidal - Budd-Chiari - Cardiac causes

13 Clinical features: - Splenomegally - Hypersplenisim - Collateral vessels - Fetor hepaticus Complications: - Bleeding - Hypersplenisim Contributary factor in: Ascites Encephalopathy Hepato renal syndrome Hepatopulmonary syndrome

14 VARICEAL BLEEDING Recurrent Risk factors Other sites Management: - Supportive - Confirm 1. reduction of portal pressure 2. Local measures 3. Prevention of recurrent bleeding Primary prophylaxis:

15 Ascites 1. Increased hydrostatic pressure 2. Decreased oncotic pressure 3. Increased portal pressure 4. Inflammation 5. Malignancy Causes: Investigations:

16 Ascites in chronic liver disease Poor prognostic sign Commonly with leg edema 10% right pleural effusion Ascites in CLD doesn t exclude other causes (HCCA or PUTH ) Exudative ascites infection, malignancy, H-V obstruction.

17 Cirrhosis Incremental resistance to portal flow Portal hypertension Increased splanchnic capillary pressure Splanchnic vasodilatation Ascites Arterial underfilling Activattion of vasoconstrictar + antinaturetic factors Na & water retention Impaired free water excretion Renal vasoconstriction Expansion of plasma volume Dilutional hyponatremia Hepatorenal syndrome

18 Management: - Decrease Na & water by restriction - Increase urine output - Removal of ascetic fluid if necessary - TIPSS

19 Spontanous bacterial peritonitis Recurrent Hepatorenal syndrome Hepatopulmonary syndrome

20 Hepatic encephalopathy - Definition - Causes- Liver cell failure - Features - Precipitating factors - Differential diagnosis - Management - P-S shunting

21 Fulminant hepatic failure - Definition Acute - absence of CLD - Causes - Pathology - Presentation - Investigations - Complications - Management - Prognosis

22 Acute Hepatitis - Pathology - Causes: - Viral - Non-viral infections - Drug - Immune Hepatitis - Post-viral - Metabolic- Wilson - α1-antitrypsin deficiency - Pregnancy -Ischemic- Shock - Tamponade- severe heart failures - Budd-Chiari syndrome - Clinical features Frequently anicteric or asymptomatic - Investigations - Management - Complications - Prognosis

23 HEPATITIS A VIRUS - Incubation 2-4 wks - Diagnosis - No chronic carrier - Vaccine - Immune serum globulin

24 HEPATITIS E VIRUS - Incubation 4-8 wks - Water borne epidemics fecal -oral - High mortality in pregnant woman - Incubation 4-20 wks - Not cultured - Only man-man - Carrier - Vaccine HEPATITIS B VIRUS hyperimmune serum globilin - HBsAg - HBe Ag - Anti HBs Ab - Anti-HBeAb - Anti- HBcAb IgM IgG

25 Chronic HBV infection Activity HBsAg HBeAg Anti HBeAb Viral load (PCR) HD virus Incubation 6-8 wks Increased enzymes Anti-HBcAb Incomplete RNA Infection Con-comitant Super infection of chronic causes of HBV

26 HC virus - Incubate 2-26 wks - Chronic carrier > 50% - Anti-HCV Ab? - PCR HCV-RNA in blood

27 CHRONIC HEPATIC + CIRRHOSIS - 6/12 - Causes Viral Drugs and alcohol Metabolic o Wilson o Hemochromatosis o α1 anti-trypsin deficiency Immune Nutritional (intestinal bypass) Biliary obstructiono Primary biliary cirrhosis o Sclerosing cholangitis o Secondary biliary cirrhosis Hepatic congestiono Budd-Chieri o Veno-occlusive disease o Cardiac failure NAFLD Cryptogenic
