Q

What can lead to ascites and development of acquired portosystemic shunts?

A

Portal Hypertension

17
Q

When does lipidosis occur?

A

When hepatocyte triglyceride accumulation exceeds the rate of lipoprotein release

Increased mobilization of body fat-DM, Starvation, etc

Hypoxia or mitochondrial damage

Increased glucose and insulin

Impaired secretion of lipoprotein from the liver due to secretory defects produced by hepatotoxins or drugs
