Hepatic Artery occlusion caused by what in adults 6
- acute diverticulitits ABD infection —-> pyelophlebitis in spleen
- hypercoag. state (thrombosis)
- trauma
- pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer causing splenic vein thrombosis
- portal vein invades into it from HCC

small portal vein obstruction cause
schistosomiasis **
prothrombotic state, virus, drugs, chronic biliary obstr., autoimmune
small portal vein obstruction SX
upper GI bleed
splenomegaly
most common cause of impaired BF to liver
cirrhosis
sinusoidal BF occlusion caused by what 4
- Sickle cell
- DIC
- Eclampsia
- Diffuse intrasinusoidal tumor
sinusoidal BF occlusion can lead to what
massive necrosis, acute liver failure
Peliosis hepatis is what
- type of sinusoidal dilation, CAUSING —-I EFFLUX of hepatic blood
- blood filled cystic spaces in liver
Peliosis hepatis can cause what complication
ABD hemorrhage
Hepatic Vein thrombosis is what
Budd - Chiari Syndrome
= deadly if not tx
Budd - Chiari Syndrome TRIAD
- hepatomegaly
- ABD pain
- ascities
Budd - Chiari Syndrome associated conditions : 5
- myeloproliferative neoplasms
- inherited hypercoag.
- anti-phospholipid AB syndrome
- PNH (proxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
- HCC
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome is what
pyrrolizidine alkaloid in bush tea from Jamaica = veno-occlusive disease*
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome caused by what + mortality rate
- post hematopoietic stem cell transplant*
- chemo
= 80% mortality
= jamaican tea
= vano-occlusive disease
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome DX
- biposy gold standard only risky
- hepatomegaly, jaundice, ascitis, WG,
- attenuated hepatic venous flow (Doppler US)**
which organ is effected most after an organ transplant
liver
jaundice in preg caused by
Viral hep (20% fatal if HEV)
acute liver failure in preg also caused by
HSV
liver abscesses in preg caused by
Listeria
3 serious liver complications in preg.
- eclampsia / preeclampsia
- acute fatty liver
- intrahepatic cholestasis
4 sx of eclampsia / preeclampsia that happen
- maternal HTN
- proteinuria
- peripheral edema
- coagulation abnormal
eclampsia / preeclampsia what you see in pt with this (acronym)
HELLP
- Hemolysis
- Elevated Liver enzymes (AST /ALP)
- Low Plts
preeclampsia becomes eclampsia when
when hyperreflexia and convulsions happen
eclampsia / preeclampsia most dangerous in who
women with acute fatty liver of preg
acute fatty liver of preg sx and tx and complications
- bleeding, N/V, jaundice, coma
- termination of preg
- hepatic failure and death
intrahepatic cholestasis of preg sx
pruritus in 2nd or 3rd trimester, darkening urine, light color stools
intrahepatic cholestasis of preg labs, histology
- low bilirubin,
2. canicular cholestasis
intrahepatic cholestasis of preg tx and associated with what risk
- resolved 2-3 weeks after delivery
2. fetal loss, and recur in future preg
liver infarction risk
RARE (dual BS, 1/3 hepatic A, 2/3 portal vein)
= bile ducts can die if hepatic A obstructed since they get O2 from artery only)
most common cause of varices
portal vein occlusion
obliterative portal venopathy caused by
HIV
sinusoidal dilations caused by
peliosis hepatis
passive liver congestion caused by
right heart failure
chronic vs acute transplant rejection
acute : cellular
chronic : vascular
