Q

cirrhosis commonly causes portal HTN which causes varices and ascites

what is portal HTN?

what is varices?

what is ascites?

A

portal HTN = high blood pressure in the portal vein, which is the large blood vessel that carries blood to the liver.

Varices are abnormally enlarged blood vessels. ex: Varicose veins, Rectal varices/hemorrhoids, Esophageal varices

ascites is accumulation of excess fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Q

T/F
cirrhosis is…

-Irreversible, inflammatory, fibrotic liver disease

-Structural changes from injury like alcohol, hep virus

-Structural changes from fibrosis

  • structural changes leads to obstructive biliary channels and blood flow = jaundice and portal hypertension

-Regeneration is disrupted by hypoxia, necrosis, atrophy, and liver failure

-Fibrosis can reversed if treated soon enough

A

all true except

  • Fibrosis can be halted, but not reversed

decreased =
5. check Prothrombin time (liver makes PT)
increased PTT =
decreased PT =

A
