Cirrhosis

As population is aging, liver cirrhosis is progressively predominant, and more elderly population with already diagnosed liver disease will be seen by geriatricians. It very useful to understand predictive factors for survival in cirrhotic patients in order to help with therapeutic decision-making, including allocation for liver transplantation (Fox et al., 2011). There are associations between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and liver cirrhosis. The effect of cardiovascular diseases on the underlying

Hepatitis B is a serious liver virus, some people with Hep B can become chronic and it can last up to six months or longer. It increase risk of having liver failure, liver cancer, and cirrhosis. People that are infected with Hep B as adults recover fully however infant or children are the ones who are more likely to have chronic infections Hepatitis B has symptoms, cause, risk factor and complications although, there is vaccine that can prevent Hep B, but there is really not cure for it. If you are

chronic injury and destruction of the liver cells (Irshad el al., 2013). HCV eradication reserves the fibrotic state and according to recent studies suggest that cirrhosis may be reversed over time (Irshad el al., 2013). HCC is the ultimate complication of HCV infection aNd it occurs in 1-4% of HCV cirrhotic patients (Irshad el al., 2013). Cirrhosis is the main risk factor for HCC in addition to other exogenous factors such as alcohol consumption, viral co-infections, diabetes and obesity

Sexually transmitted infections/diseases (STIs/STDs) have been present in the human populous for centuries. Before modern medicine there was widespread transmission of infections/diseases with very little or no available treatment. Today we have antibiotics and a network of tracking STIs/STDs to help deter their spread. How these STIs/STDs were introduced into the United States, the domain for this work, is a point of debate but they are clearly present. The 2016 Sexually Transmitted Disease

Surgical Treatment Protocols for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common diseases, with an increasing incidence. With new and advanced surgical instrumentation and techniques, several curative therapies have become successful. The HCC patients are treated according to the stage of Liver tumor. For very early stage of HCC, the very first choice of therapy is liver resection but it is later being replaced by local ablative therapy which is useful as a bridging

Hepatitis C is an infection of the blood caused by the Hepatitis C virus. While the Hepatitis virus is widely known for damage caused to the liver, it can also cause damage to the kidneys and other body organs as well since it is an infection in the blood. Hepatitis C is both acute and chronic meaning it can last 6 months and resolve on it 's own or it can last a lifetime. The family name Hepatitis includes Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B in name while each is a completely separate disease. Each separate

Even the American Cancer Society does not have suggestions for liver tumor screening. In any case, on the off chance that you have any of the known danger elements, including substantial drinking, cirrhosis, or hepatitis, your specialist will prescribe testing. In the event that you have cirrhosis of the liver, you'll be nearly checked by your specialist, and this might request repeated blood tests for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). As AFP is a tumor indicator for liver cancer, its high regard can show

producing these extracellular matrix proteins. Over time patients with chronic hepatitis C infection experience an increase in the total collagen content, which contributes to the development of liver fibrosis, with the potential to progress to cirrhosis. This dynamic process also involves remodelling and regression of the fibrous tissue via breakdown of the matrix proteins by the protease enzymes matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). Balance of the remodelling

married with 4 children. He had a medical history of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and cirrhosis with two admissions in the last six months. He is a smoker and drinks beer, 5-6 bottles per day. As Carithers & McClain (2010) explained the patient’s medical history is another indicator of the risk for cirrhosis; the progression to cirrhosis is adaptable and may take time over weeks or many years. Cirrhosis is a liver disease characterized by permanent scarring of the
