functional renal failure that develops as a complication of advanced liver disease
hepatorenal syndrome

late sx of hepatic encephalopathy
gallstone formation

gallstone sx
often asymptomatic or vague
rebound tenderness and abdominal muscle guarding are sx of
cholecystitis
oliguria is to
hepatorenal syndrome
asterixis is a sx of
hepatic encephalopathy
hepatic encephalopathy
cells in the NS are vulnerable to neurotoxins absorbed from the GI tract that, because of liver dysfunction, circulate to the brain
