Natural history of Cirrhosis
• 50 % over 10 years
Compensated Cirrhosis
Decompensated Cirrhosis
Which is……
Ascites
50 % die in 2 years
Variceal hemorrhage
Hepatic Encephalopathy
• Varices develop in 50-60 % of cirrhotics • Annual rate of development 2-5 %• 30% of them develop UGIB• Risk of rebleeding (2nd bleeding ) 60-70%
over 24 months• Death in cirrhotics 1/5 – 1/3 ,due to
variceal bleeding
Stigmata of Chronic Liver disease
• Clubbing • Leukonychia • Palmar erythema • Dupuytren's contracture • Asterixis• Spider angiomata• Purpura • Gynaecomastia or Feminizing Hair Re-distribution • Testicular atrophy • Hepatomegaly • Splenomegaly • Ascites• Distended abdominal veins in which flow is away from the
umbilicus (caput medusae)
Clinical features
SymptomsComplications: Portal hypertension• Hepatic encephalopathy• GI bleeding• Ascites• Lower limbs edemaIncidental abnormality of LFT
Clinical features
SymptomsComplications: Portal hypertension• Hepatic encephalopathy• GI bleeding• Ascites• Lower limbs edemaIncidental abnormality of LFT
• Gynecomastia due to hypersestogenemia state
• Also noted in spironolactone use
Flapping tremor due toFalse neurotransmittersCausing imbalance at the cerebellar function
• Caput medusa • due to portal • hypertension with collateral • formation between paraumbilical veins that arise from the umbilical
portion of the left portal vein that connect to the epigastric and and internal mammry veins
through the round ligament
