Alcoholic Liver Disease (Laennec Cirrhosis)
Cirrhosis
Nodules of normal hepatocytes surrounded by fibrosis.
Damage / death of hepatocytes →
- Cell regeneration → nodules of functional hepatocytes +
-
Scar tissue formation →
- replaces functional liver cells → liver failure
- distorts liver structure, obstructs flow in vascular and biliary channels (kinks)
Assessment Findings:
- inflammation
- Abdominal, right upper quadrant pain, hepatomegaly.
- Portal hypertension
- Ascites, edema, dyspnea, anemia.
- Liver failure
- End Stage Liver Disease
- Anorexia, Steatorrhea
- Vitamin A deficiency = vision problems.
- Vitamin D deficiency = weak bones, hypocalcemia.
- Vitamin K deficiency = no clotting factors (bleeding).
- High or low glucose levels.
- Liver is not making albumin → causes edema.
- Bleeding tendencies.
- Hepatic encephalopathy → Asterixis
- Seizures / Coma (Hepatocoma).
- Drug toxicities
- Hormone imbalances
- Sepsis (unfiltered blood)
- Hepatorenal failure
- End Stage Liver Disease
P/C Factors:
-
Postnecrotic Types:
- Viral hepatitis
- Exposure to toxic drugs / chemicals
-
Primary Biliary Types:
- Autoimmune attack on small bile ducts → inflammation / damage to hepatocytes from leakage of bile.
-
Alcoholic Liver Disease (Laennec Cirrhosis)
- Increased alcohol consumption (metabolites of alcohol can damage liver cells), plus other genetic / environmental factors.
-
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- Changes in uptake/synthesis/break down of hepatic lipids (due to obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, etc.) cause fatty changes in liver cells, and impairs ability to detoxify free radicals → damage to hepatocytes.
