William Bernal Professor of Liver Critical Care Liver Intensive Therapy Unit Institute of Liver Studies Kings College Hospital United Kingdom NHS Update on Acute Medical and Surgical Emergencies for Psychiatrists Royal College of Psychiatrists 21 st May 2018
2 Acute Liver Disease: what you really need to know. Liver Intensive Therapy Unit Institute of Liver Studies Kings College Hospital
3 Acute Liver Disease What you really need to know: Overview. Abnormal Liver Blood tests: What they mean, when to worry & what to do. Hepatic Medical Emergences: Liver Failure Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) Acute Decompensation (AD): what to do? Acute on Chronic Liver failure (ACLF): what is it? Acute Liver Failure (ALF) Recognition and response
4 Liver Blood Tests Panels vary by laboratory: Hepatobiliary Enzymes Alanine / Aspartate Transaminases (ALT/AST) Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Liver Synthetic Function Tests Bilirubin INR (or Prothrombin Time) Albumin Platelet Count
5 Liver Blood Tests Hepatobiliary Enzymes Enzyme Site Normal Range ALP AST/ALT Biliary Epithelium (Bone /Placenta) Hepatocytes (Muscle) GGT Hepatocytes / Biliary tract Reflects Elevation IU/l Biliary disease Cholestasis Obstruction Infiltration IU/l Hepatocyte injury / death 1-55 IU/l Enzyme Induction Cholestasis Hepatitis Hepatic necrosis Congestion Alcohol Steatosis Drugs
6 Liver Blood Tests Liver Synthetic Function Tests Test Normal Range Reflects Bilirubin 3-20 µmol/l Haem metabolism (Haemolysis) Albumin g/l Hepatic synthesis (Loss/Consumption) INR Hepatic Synthesis (Vitamin K Deficiency) Platelets x10 9 /l Splenic sequestration Bone marrow suppression Abnormal Gilberts Syndrome Parenchymal Liver disease Biliary Obstruction Parenchymal Liver disease Parenchymal Liver disease Portal Hypertension Alcohol toxicity
7 Liver Blood Tests Three Common Patterns of Abnormality Pattern Abnormal Tests Causes Clues Isolated Raised Bilirubin Bilirubin Gilberts Syndrome Otherwise Well Haemolysis Anaemia Cholestatic Elevated ALP / GGT Drugs / Alcohol Exposure Obstruction Jaundice Hepatocellular Hepatitic Elevated AST /ALT Liver Cell Injury Hepatic insult
8 Liver Blood Tests Response to abnormal liver blood tests Newsome et al Gut ;0:1-14
9 Liver Blood Tests History Alcohol / Metabolic syndrome & BMI Drug History / Viral risk factors Family history / comorbidity Isolated Raised Bilirubin Otherwise normal LBTs Isolated Cholestatic Liver Enzymes GGT & ALP Hepatitic Liver Enzymes AST / ALT Consider Magnitude Synthetic Failure Jaundice INR Albumin Further Review Concerns: Magnitude Haemolysis Further Review Concerns: Magnitude Absence of obvious cause Weight loss Other abnormal liver tests Urgent Discussion +/ - Urgent Review After Newsome et al Gut ;0:1-14

Obese (BMI 35), type 2 DM Teetotal Physically well Long term valproate Rx LBT on admission: Blood tests Albumin 39 Bilirubin 17 ALP 112 AST 45 GGT 289 INR g/l 3-20 µmol/l IU/L IU/L 1-55 IU/L Routine Review Hepatic Steatosis / enzyme induction
11 Hepatitic Liver Blood Tests 46 year old Male Psychiatric Inpatient Depression No stigmata CLD. Obese (BMI 30) Moderate EtOH Treated hypertension, cholesterol Statin, Amlodopine LBT on admission: Blood tests Albumin 40 Bilirubin 14 ALP 110 AST 150 GGT 46 INR g/l 3-20 µmol/l IU/L IU/L 1-55 IU/L Routine Review Statin-related Abnormal LBT

13 Acute Liver Disease: Liver Failure Two Distinct Clinical Scenarios Decompensated CLD / ACLF Common Pre-existing liver disease: often Cirrhosis Precipitant and decompensation Hepatic failure +/- encephalopathy Acute Liver Failure (ALF) Rare No pre-existing liver disease Acute hepatic insult: commonly Paracetamol Hepatic failure and encephalopathy Cerebral oedema and intracranial hypertension

Stable Compensated Cirrhosis (SC) No ascites or overt HE ~ 5-10% patients / year Recompensation of hepatic function Acute Decompensated Cirrhosis (AD) Jaundice, Ascites, HE, Variceal bleeding ~ 30% hospitalised patients Resolution of organ failures Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) Hepatic and Extra-hepatic organ failure? Up to 50% hospitalised patients Death After Bernal et al Lancet 2015;386:

24 Chronic Liver Disease Precipitants of Acute Decompensation Alcohol-related hepatitis Sepsis Sepsis Drugs (NSAIDs, Opiates, Benzos) Gastro-intestinal bleeding Ischaemic liver injury (sepsis or hypotension) Acute portal vein thrombosis Development of hepatocellular carcinoma
25 Chronic Liver Disease Acute Decompensation Actions Seek help and prompt bedside review or transfer. Impaired Consciousness / Cardiovascular instability: urgent. Seek / Remove precipitant and initiate Rx. Medication: minimise or discontinue. Benzoidepines / Zopiclone / Opiates Non-steroidals Volume depletion / Electrolyte anomalies: Rehydrate and correct. Renal dysfunction Hyponatraemia Seek / treat sepsis: empiric Rx if concerned. Don t delay

27 Chronic Liver Disease: AD/ACLF Escalation of care? NCEPOD 2013 Alcohol Related Liver Disease: Measuring the Units Both Advisors and clinicians identified patients in whom escalation of care was not received despite it being indicated....escalation of care should be actively pursued for patients with Alcohol-related Liver disease who deteriorate acutely and whose background functional status is good. There should be close liaison between the medical and critical care teams when making escalation decisions..
