Diagnostic consideration
#confirm the presence and type of liver disease a) compensated ---------may be asymptomatic
b) Decompensated ---------- presenc of liver failure and
complications c)End stage * persistent rise in bilirubin * INR more than 1.3, * persistent fall in serum albumin * Faltering growth, * severe hepatic complications such as chronic hepatic
encephalopathy, refractory ascites, intractable pruritis or recurrent esophageal varices despite medical treatment .

Chronic liver disease &and End stage liver failure
• Chronic liver diseases of childhood leads to cirrhosis and/or cholestasis. The resulting fibrosis and regenerative nodular formation distorts the liver architecture and compresses hepatic vascular and biliary structures, resulting in portal hypertension and a vicious cycle of events that worsen the hepatic injury.

Fulminant Hepatic Failure
• It is a clinical syndrome resulting from massive necrosis of hepatocytes or from severe functional impairment of hepatocytes.
• The currently accepted definition in children include:
1. Biochemical evidence of acute liver injury<8 weeks
2. No evidence of chronic liver disease
3. Hepatic –based coagulopathy—PT>15 sec or INR>1.5 not corrected by vitamin k in the presence of hepatic encephalopathy

ACUTE LIVER FAILURE ---CAUSES
• Infections (viral, bacterial, malaria) • Drugs NSAIDS, INH, carbamezapine , sodium
valporoate, ketokanazole,..) • Toxins • Metabolic –Wilson disease • Autoimmune • Vascular/ischemic (acute circulatory failure,
cardiomyopathy, acute cardiac failure) • Infiltrative(lymphoma, leukemia) • Herbal supplements • idiopathic
![Page 14: Liver failure &portal hypertension...Liver failure &portal hypertension •Objectives: by the end of this lecture each student should be able to : Diagnose liver failure (acute or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060718/607ec6c36360007b7e3b8a4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fulminant liver failure-Pathology
• Massive necrosis of hepatocytes
• Pathogenesis:
1. Increased serum level of ammonia, false neurotransmitters, increased circulating levels of endogenous benzodiazepine-like compounds.
2. Decreased hepatic clearance lead to CNS dysfunction

short attention span. • stage 2- • Drowsiness, confusion, intermittent disorientation of time and
place, gross deficit in ability to perform mental task. • stage 3- • Delirious but arousable, persistent disorientation of person and
place, hypereflexia. • stage4- • Comatose with or without decerebrate or decorticate posturing
response to pain(stage4a) or no response to pain(stage4b)

Management of Acute liver failure
• Refer to a liver centre
• Emergency liver transplantation is the only curative treatment
• Supportive treatment
• Involves treatment of the cause and complications
• Enteral feeding
![Page 20: Liver failure &portal hypertension...Liver failure &portal hypertension •Objectives: by the end of this lecture each student should be able to : Diagnose liver failure (acute or](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060718/607ec6c36360007b7e3b8a4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Management of acute liver failure
• Ventilate for respiratory failure • fluid balance • Fresh frozen plasma if there is bleeding • No sedation • Lactulose (laxative) • Intravenous broad –spectrum antibiotics as prophylaxis • Specific therapy in cases of poisoning • Continuous monitoring(saturation, neurological
observation, vital signs electrolytes ,acid base balance ,blood glucose ,urine output ,PT,PTT,INR,HB &platelets)

Portal hypertension
• Portal pressure>10-12mmHg—normal 7
1.Extra hepatic obstruction
Important cause in childhood.(umbilical infection/umbilical catheter)
• Portal vein thrombosis in neonatal dehydration & systemic infections

Etiology –portal hypertension 2.Intrahepatic obstruction
acute and chronic hepatitis, congenital hepatic fibrosis& schistosomiasis, infiltration by malignancy and granuloma, idiopathic
• Leads to splenomegally &port systemic collaterals
• Esophageal varices
• Cirrhosis is the predominant cause of portal hypertension

Ascitis --Treatment
• 50 percent of patients will die within 2 years of developing ascitis
• Treatment ---step 1 –sodium restriction
Step 2---spironolactone
Step 3---chlorthiazide/ frusemide and fluid restriction
*spontaneous bacterial peritonitis can occur with high mortality (pneumococci)

Prevention and treatment of
oesopheal variceal bleeding
• 1.sclerotherapy
• 2.variceal ligation
• 3.surgical (porto-systemic shunt)
• 4.oesophageal transection and devascularization
• 5.drugs e.g. Propanolol
