This document discusses cirrhosis and its complications over two parts. Part I covers what cirrhosis is, its etiologies, clinical presentations, physical exam findings, laboratory tests, liver biopsy, and prognosis for different etiologies. Part II covers complications of cirrhosis including portal hypertension, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatopulmonary syndrome, and hepatocellular carcinoma screening and treatment. Liver transplantation is also discussed as a treatment option.

Cirrhosis and Its Complications
1. Cirrhosis and Its Complications
Prof. Dr.Osman Cavit Özdoğan
Chief of the Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Marmara University School of Medicine
2. Goals of This lecture
• Part I:
– What is cirrhosis?
– Etiology of cirrhosis
– Clinical presentation of cirrhosis
– Pyhsıcal examination findings
– Laboratory tests and liver biopsy
– Prognosis of different etiologies
3. Part II: Complications
• What is portal hypertension
– Etiologies of portal hypertension
– Results of portal hypertension
• Occurence of varices
– Acuta variceal bleeding
• Hepatic encephalopathy
• Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
• Hepatorenal Syndrome
4. Part II
• Hepatopulmonary syndrome
• Hepatocellular carcinoma and screening
procedure
• Liver transplantation
• Discussion
Part I-II will last 1.5 hours: I am sorry for you
5. 46 yrs old, man presented with ascites and
jaundice , started 3 months ago, has been
diagnosed HBS Ag carrier 20 years ago but had
no follow up
6. What is liver disease?
• Chronic injury
• Chronic İnflammation
• Fibrosis nodulation…..Cirrhosis

12. So what happens when cirrhosis
occurs?
• Synthesis function
– Hypoalbuminemia
– Decrease of coagulation
factors
• Conjugation function
– High bilirubin
• Detoksification function
– Drug metabolism
– Estrogen metabolism etc.
13. At early stages of cirrhosis there are no
spesific symptoms or mostly no
symptoms
• Chronic fatique
• Decrease in functional capacity
• History of jaundice
• Pruritis
• Bleeding after teeth brush or shaving etc.
• Positive tests for viral hepatitis
• History of elevated liver enymes
14. Decrase in Coagulation factors
• Easy bleeding
– Nose
– Gum
– Ecchymosis, petechias and purpuras
– Easy brusing
– Bleeding after the minor surgeries
15. Bilirubin
• Its the product of hem
metabolism
• Conjugates at the hepatic cells
• Excreted by the biliary paths
• Increases and causes
icterus/jaundice
22. Radiological findings
• Abdominal ultasonography
– Irregular and nodular surface of the liver
– Splenomegaly
– Ascites
• Abdominal MRI and CT
– Sometimes better than USG
23. How about liver biopsy
• Its highly invasive
• %1-2 severe bleeding and sometimes
mortality
• Hematologic problems at cirrhosis
• So when biopsy?
– if clinically, radiologically and laboratuary findings
do not clearly indicate cirrhosis
– If we do not clarify the etiologic factor and
suspect of treatable condition
28. Treatment At Early Stage
• Early treatment may affect prognosis
– Stop alcohol drinking
– Eradication of viruses
– Treatment of the cause
– Autoimmune
– Wilson
– Hemachromatosis
– Sclerozing Cholangitis
– Very good followup
– Prevention of complications
• Low Na Diet

46. Hepatic Encephalopathy History
Hipocrates (460-370 BC): A patient with
hepatitis who barked like a dog, could not be
held and said things which could not be
comprehended.
Özdoğan: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex,Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex,
potentially reversible neuropsychiatric condition thatpotentially reversible neuropsychiatric condition that
occurs as a consequence of acute or chronic liveroccurs as a consequence of acute or chronic liver
disease.disease.
47. Hepatic Encephalopathy
• Acute liver failure
• Hyper acute: In a week
• Acute: ın 4 weeks
• Subacute: İn 4-12 weeks
• Chronic Liver Failure
• Acute on chronic
• Chronic
