2 I. Decompensated liver cirrhosis & associated complications II. GI Bleeding

3 Liver cirrhosis Compensate liver cirrhosis Decompensate liver cirrhosis

4 Prognosis of Liver cirrhosis Child pugh classification

5 Prognosis of Liver cirrhosis Child pugh classification HE None Gr 1~2 Gr 3~4 Ascites Absent slight Moderate Bilirubin <2 2~3 >3 mg/dl Albumin > ~3.5 <2.8 mg/dl PT prolong <4 s ( INR <1.7) 4~6 s( INR 1.7~2.3) >6 s (INR>2.3) Child A Child B Child C Total 5~6 7~9 10~15 1 year-survival 100 % 80 % 45 %

6 Complications of liver cirrhosis Variceal bleeding Ascites/ Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis Hepatic encephalopathy Hepatorenal syndrome Hepato-pulmonary syndrome / Hepatic hydrothorax

7 SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS

8 Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis Ascites fluid infection without an evident intra-abdominal surgically treatable source

9 Clinical manifestations Fever Abdominal pain Altered mental status Diarrhea/ paralytic ileus / Hypotension /Hypothermia

10 Diagnosis Paracentesis Ascites fluid PMN 250 Before any antibiotics What if traumatic paracentesis? Ascites routine: RBC 30 cells/mm3, WBC 500 cells/ mm3, 60 % Neutrophils ; monocyte 10 %, lymphocytes : 20 % SBP? RBC cells/mm3, WBC 500 cells/ mm3, 60 % Neutrophils ; monocyte 10 %, lymphocytes : 20 %, SBP?

11 In traumatic/bloody paracentesis Corrected neutrophil counts= Corrected PMN = PMN counts (RBC counts/250) RBC cells/mm3, WBC 500 cells/ mm3, 60 % Neutrophils ; monocyte 10 %, lymphocytes : 20 %, WBC: 500 * 0.6 = 300 Corrected PMN counts: 300 (60000/250) = 60 PMN/mm3

12 Diagnosis Paracentesis Routine Culture Gram stain Albumin Protein/Glucose/LDH Amylase Bilirubin

13 SAAG 1.1 g/dl Cirrhosis/ Heart failure, Portal hyperension SAAG < 1.1g/dL Peritoneal carcinomatosis, TB peritonitis, pancreatitis, nephrotic syndrome..

14 Diagnosis Protein/ LDH /Glucose Amylase (?) / Bilirubin (?) Runyon s criteria ( 2/3) Total protein > 1 gm/dl Glucose < 50 mg/dl (2.8 mmol/l) LDH > upper limit of serum

17 Treatment Antibiotics Tx Cefotaxime /3 rd cephalosporin Fluoroquinolone Discontinue non-selective beta-blocker

19 HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY

20 Reversible syndrome of impaired brain function in advanced liver failure

21 Severity of HE Stage Mental status Asterixis EEG I Euphoria or depression, mild confusion, slurred speech, disordered sleep +/- Usually normal II Lethargy, moderate confusion + Abnormal III Marked confusion, incoherent speech, sleeping but arousable + Abnormal IV Coma; - Abnormal Delta activity

22 Finding precipitating causes GI bleeding Infection Electrolyte/ fluid status Sedative / transquilizer use Constipation Others

23 Common precipitants of Hepatic Encephalopathy Increase nitrogen load Gastrointestinal bleeding Excess dietary protein Azotemia Constipation Electrolyte and metabolic imbalance Hypokalemia Alkalosis Hypoxia Hyponatremia Hypovolemia Drugs Narcotics, tranquilizers, sedatives, Diuretics Miscellaneous Infection Surgery Superimposed acute liver disease Progressive liver disease Portal-systemic shunts

24 Treatment rationale Ammonia hypothesis Decrease ammoniagenic substrate Inhibition of ammonia production Metabolic ammonia removal False neurotransmitter hypothesis Branched chain amino acid supplementation Increased dopamine GABA hypothesis

25 Treament Control predisposing factors Decrease NH3 Lactulose / lactitol / rifaxim General supportive tx Fluid : adequate, avoid dehydration Electrolyte Pharmacologic restrain (haloperidol safer then BZD )

26 Lower Blood [NH3] Lactulose /lactitol / 30~45 ml BID ~ QID / day 2~3 stools / day Lactulose enemas Rifaximin (Gr 2C, 本院目前無藥 ) rifampin 400 mg TID / 550 mg BID in addition to lactulose Neomycin Ototoxicity / nephrotoxicity ; 500 mg TID / 1 gm BID ; metronidazole

29 Bar code HE IVF with D5W 1000 ml run 60ml/hr F/S stat CBC/DC Bun/Cr/Na/K/ Bil(T)/AST/ALT/NH3 CXR

30 HEPATORENAL SYNDROME

31 Diagnosis Renal failure in patient with advanced liver disease Type I Rapid decline renal function Cr elevated >2X (from baseline) to > 2.5 mg/dl <=2WKS Usually triggered by precipitating event with other organ dysfuction Type II Steady & progressive Characterized by refractory ascites & Na retension Average Cr around 2 mg/dl

32 Epidemiology Who is most affected With decompensated cirrhosis, precipitating as alcohol, hepatitis, or infection Incidence/Prevalence 4 % PT with decompensated cirrhosis 30 % PT with cirrhosis & SBP 45.8 % of PT with cirrhosis & renal failure

33 Pathogenesis Peripheral arterial vasodilation theory by cirrhosis/portal hypertension Splanchnic vasodilation, reduced arterial blood volume, decreased MAP RAA system activitaty renal vasoconstriction --< shift in renal autoregulatory curve Impaired CO due to cirrhosis cardiomyopathy Increased synthesis of vasoactive mediators affects renal blood flow or glomerular microcirculatory hemodynamics

34 Diagnosis Excluding other causes of AKD with advanced liver disease Major diagnositc criteria Cirrhosis with ascites Cr > 1.5 mg/dl No sustained improvement in Cr after 2 days of diuretic withdrawal and plasma volume expansion with albumin Absence of shock No current/recent use of nephrotoxic drugs No parenchymal renal disease (Proteinuria < 0.5g/d, no microhematuria, normal renal ultrasound

35 Tx Fluid restriction of 1L/day Prevent progression of dilutional hyponatremia in Type I hepatorenal dz Liver transplant / liver & renal transplant Tx prior to liver transplant Vasoconstriction + albumin Terlipressin level I» May increase CV events Large-volume paracentesis + albumin TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portacaval shunts)
