LIVER Flashcards
CIRRHOSIS
SCAR TIISSUE OF THE LIVER
ETIOLOY OF CIRRHOSIS
alcohol, virus, nonalcoholic fatty liver, biliary duct obstruction, autoimmunine, toxins, metabolic
alcoholic cirrhosi
etoh is toxic to the liver cells
fatty liver
tissue chanes
inflammation
Alcoholic Cirrhosis
Compensated
Uncompensated:
Compensated
asymptomatic, intermittent mild fever, vascular spider, palmar erythema, unexplained epistaxis, alkel edema, vaue morning indiestion, flatulent dyspepsia, abdominal pain, firm enlarged liver, splenomegaly.
epistaxis
NOSE BLEEDING
Uncompensated
Ascites, Jaundice, Weakness, muscle wasting, weight loss, continuous mild fever, clubbing of fingers, purpura, spontaneous bruising, epistasis, hypotension, sparse body hair, white nails, gonadal atrophy,
liver function
Bile: Secreted by liver, temporarily stored by gallbladder
coomon bile duct
Glucose: Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and storage of glycogen; and gluconeogenesis.
protein: protein synthesis and degradation, AA synthesis
Clotting-factor synthesis:coagulation factorsI (fibrinogen), II(prothrombin),V,VII,VIII,IX,X,XI,XIII, as well asprotein C,protein Sandantithrombin.
Lipid: cholesterol, triglycerol, lipoprotein

Albumin synthesis
the most abundant protein inblood serum. It is essential in the maintenance ofoncotic pressure, and acts as a transport forfatty acidsandsteroid hormones.
angiotentionogen
produced in liver and transformed into angiotension 1 in liver by renin?
s/s Cirrhosis
Palmar erythema Spider nevi Gynecomastia Jaundice Caput medusa
Spider nevi
superior vena cava: The central red dot is the dilated arteriole and the red “spider legs” are small veins carrying away the freely flowing blood.
