CIRRHOSIS
CIRRHOSIS cause
- Alcohol
- Cystic fibrosis
- Hepa B C

1. mc due to alcohol
2. dt hepa B C
3. dt gall stone obstruction
4. dt to RSHF
- LAENNEC’s
- POST NECROTIC
- BILIARY
- CARDIAC
LIVER 4 RESPONSIBILITIES

CIRRHOSIS hepa-j sx and ano sx under nila.
Hepatic Encepalopathy (ammonia)
* Asterixis
* LOC
* Constructional apraxia
Esophageal varices
Portal HPN
* Pre renal failure
* Hepatomegaly
* hemorrhoids
* Caput Medusae
* SPIDER ANGIOMA
Ascites
Jaundice
* Pruritus
CIRRHOSIS other sx
- Dec Ca and Platelet dt to albumin (trousseau and chvostek, bleeding)
- > 20 BUN
- Inc AST & ALT
CIRRHOSIS interventions for:
- Hepatic Encepalopathy (ammonia):
- Esophageal varices:
- Portal HPN:
- Ascites:
- Jaundice:
- Dec Ca and Platelet dt to albumin:
- Hepatic Encepalopathy (ammonia): LIMIT PROTEIN, no SEDATIVES, ✅NEOMYCIN & LACTULOSE
- Esophageal varices: no NGT/ STRAINING and coughing , and no NGT, ✅Balloon Tamponade
- Portal HPN: BETA BLOCKERS, TIPS/ transjugularhepatic portosystemic shunt
- Ascites: PARACENTESIS, low NA, ✅reverse trendelenburg, ALDACTONE
- Jaundice: cool moist skin, moisturizing cream, long sleeved cotton gloves, trim nails
- Dec Ca and Platelet dt to albumin: iron rich foods, Vitamin ADEK, bleeding prec, Spirinolactone, ALBUMIN IV (egg white)
CIRRHOSIS considerations of paracentesis
- Empty bladder
- Measure abd circumference/ wt
- High fowlers
CIRRHOSIS giving albumin effective if?
⬆️BP and pulse
CIRRHOSIS dx and considerations
Liver biopsy
- Before and during: supine c pillow sa head and R side
- After procedure: R side lying to prevent bleeding
CIRRHOSIS y insert balloon tamponade? What kind of tube? Ano prio at ilalagay sa bedside
- to apply pressure kasi nag rupture na, compress stomach dt bleeding, and decompress gastric/air
- Sengstaken Blakemore Tube (triple lumen)
- Airway. Scissor
CIRRHOSIS neomycin and lactulose is effective?
⬆️LOC
CIRRHOSIS lactulose’s stool na masasabi effective eto? Monitor for?
Soft stools c 2-3 bowel movt
HYPOKALEMIA
CIRRHOSIS Hepatic Encephalopathy stages
- Stage 1: confused
- Stage 2: lethargy
- Stage 3: stupor
- Stage 4: coma
CIRRHOSIS 3 complications
- Primary peritonitis: ANTIBIOTICS
- HEPATORENAL SYNDROME: dialysis
- HEPATIC ENCEPALOPATHY
Inflammatory cond of liver caused by viral or non viral (alcohol autoimmune)
HEPATITIS
HEPATITIS types
hepa TAE
BC- blood and body fluids
D- co-infection c B
HEPATITIS ABA sx
⬆️bilirubin
- Jaundice & pruritus
- Clay colored/ pale stools
- Dark or tea-colored urine
⬆️aPTT and PT
- bruising
⬇️Albumin
- edema
HEPATITIS mngt and DIET
- low PROTEIN (all liver dse)
- low FAT (kc my nausea)
- ❌acetaminophen (tylenol), alcohol
HEPATITIS pruritus mngt
- Moisturizer
- Cool compress
- Avoid sun
Enzymes begin to digest the pancreas (autodigestion)
PANCREATITIS
PANCREAS fxns
- Exocrine: produce digestive enzymes
- Endocrine: insulin & glucagon
