Introduction • The term cirrhosis was first used by Rene Laennec

(1781-1826) to describe the abnormal liver color of

individuals with alcohol induced liver disease.

• Derived from Greek word Kirrhos means

Yellowish brown color.Cirrhosis is among the top 10 causes of death in the Western world.

Definition• Cirrhosis is defined as a diffuse process

• characterised by fibrosis &

• the conversion of normal liver architecture into structurally abnormal nodules.

Common Causes1. Chronic alcoholism & NASH2. Chronic hepatitis B& C3. Biliary disease4. Hemochromatosis (Iron oveload)5. Cryptogenic 10% 6. Wilson's disease, 7. Alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency.

Causes of Liver Cirrhosis• Obesity• Autoimmune hepatitis• Diseases that damage or destroy bile ducts.• Inherited diseases• Drugs & toxins

Page 8: Liver cirrhosis for students n

Types of Cirrhosis• 1. Alcoholic Cirrhosis (Laennec)• 2. Post necrotic Cirrhosis (macronodular)• 3. Billiary Cirrhosis• 4. Cardiac Cirrhosis

Pathogenesis1. Hepatocellular death2. Regeneration3. Progressive fibrosis4. Vascular reorganization

Three processes are central to the pathogenesis of cirrhosis:

•death of hepatocytes, •extracellular matrix deposition, and •vascular reorganization.

Page 12: Liver cirrhosis for students n

Morphology• Its three main morphologic characteristics are:• 1.Bridging fibrous septa (delicate fibrous bands/broad scars)

• 2. Parenchymal nodules- micro (<3mm) & macro (>1cm)

• 3. Disruption of the architecture of the entire liver.

4. It occurs following hepatocellular necrosis of varying etiology so that there are alternate areas of necrosis and regenerative nodules. However, regenerative nodules are not essential for diagnosis of cirrhosis since biliary cirrhosis and cirrhosis in haemochromatosis have little regeneration.

Clinical manifestations Early manifestations • No symptoms• GI disturbances: anorexia, dyspepsia,

flatulence, weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation

• Abdominal pain, dull and heavy feeling• Fever, lassitude, weight loss, enlargement of

liver and spleen.

Page 14: Liver cirrhosis for students n

Clinical manifestations Cont…Later manifestations: Results from liver failure and portal hypertension

• Jaundice• Peripheral edema• Ascites • Others: Skin lesion, hematological disorders,

endocrine disturbances, and peripheral neuropathy• Advanced stage: small and nodular liver

Clinical Manifestations

Page 16: Liver cirrhosis for students n

Complications

• The ultimate mechanism of deaths in most cirrhotic patients is

• (1) progressive liver failure, • (2) a complication related to portal hypertension, or • (3) the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

AscitesEsophageal variceal bleedingHepatic encephalopathyHepatorenal syndromeSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Portal hypertensive gastropathyInfectionLiver failureHepatocellular carcinoma

Annual Exame 2013• A biopsy report of a 55 years old lady, admitted to

hospital for complaints of abdominal distension and palor, reveals loss of normal lobular architecture with replacement of liver parenchyma by haphazardly regenerating nodules surrounded by coarse fibrous septa

• a. Name the disease, the lady is most probably suffering from. 2• b. Enlist only o5 important causes of this disease 2.5• c. Enumerate only five complications of this disease 2.5• d. What is the most important complications of ascites in this disease 1• e. Name only four poor prognostic signs of this disease 2

International normalized ratio (INR)• The prothrombin time (PT) and its derived measures of

prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR) are measures of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This test is also called "ProTime INR" and "PT/INR". They are used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in the measure of warfarin dosage, liver damage, and vitamin K status. PT measures factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, and X. It is used in conjunction with the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measures the intrinsic pathway.

International normalized ratio: A system established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee on Thrombosis and Hemostasis for reporting the results of blood coagulation (clotting) tests. Abbreviated INR. Under the INR system, all results are standardized. For example, a person taking the anticoagulant warfarin (brand name: Coumadin) would regularly have blood tested to measure the INR. The INR permits patients on anticoagulants to travel and obtain comparable test results wherever they are.

• A known patient of chronic Hepatitis B presents with ascites, weight loss, and splenomegaly. Biopsy was performed. External surface is irregular and it is firm in consistency. It showed loss of normal tissue architecture and fibrosis.

• TASK• What is your diagnosis?• Name different etiological factors leading to this

condition.• What is the most common cause of fatty liver?• What are various types of this disease entity?
