    Functions of the Liver1.Metabolism Fats ,Proteins,Carbohydrates,Hormones

    2.Storage (as Glycogen)

    3.Interconversion=Glucose-Fat-Amino acids

    4.Production:Fatty acids,Triglycerides,Phos --pholipids,ketones,Cholesterol,Albumin,Fibrinogen

    5.Exocrine:Bile-Bilirubin-Helps digestion

    6.Detoxification of ciculating toxins.

    7. Drug metabolism and excretion.

    Pathophysiology Jaundice = Bilirubin staining of tissue @ level

    greater than 3

    Mechanisms:

    production of bilirubin (Hemolysis)

    hepatocyte transport

    conjugation

    Impaired excretion of bilirubin(Hepatitis,drugs,sepsis,

    Dubin-Johnson )

    Impaired delivery of bilirubin into intestine

    surgically relevant jaundice orobstructive jaundice

    Cholestasis refers to the latter two,

    impaired excretion and obstructive jaundice

    Definition of Jaundice

    Jaundice is yellow discoloration of the sclera,skin and mucous membranes resulting fromaccumulation of bilirubin.

    Normal bilirubin levels are 0.4+0.2 mg per dl, with> 95% unconjugated.

    Hyperbilirubinemia is separated into two classes :unconjugated (> 80% of total bilirubin) and

    conjugated (>30 % of total bilirubin)

    68/76

    Liver biopsy- indications Assessment of abnormal liver function tests

    Diagnosis and prognosis of chronic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis

    Confirmation and prognosis of alcoholic liver disease

    Detection of systemic disorders involving the liver, including fever ofunknown origin

    Assessment and severity of drug inducted liver injury

    Confirmation of suspected hepatic malignancy, primary or metastatic

    Confirmation of multisystem infiltrative disorders

    Screening of relatives of patients with familial disease

    Tissue of culture

    Evaluation of response to therapies for liver disease (e.g. Wilsonsdisease, hemochromatosis, autoimmune hepatitis, chronic viral hepatitis)

    Exclusion of graft rejection, reinfection, or ischemia after liver transplant

    Evaluation of the Jaundiced Patient

  • 8/4/2019 38257492 Jaundice Master PPT

    74/76

    Evaluation of the Jaundiced Patient

    Ultrasound:

    More sensitive than CT for gallbladder stones Equally sensitive for dilated ducts

    Portable, cheap, no radiation, no IV contrast

    CT:

    Better imaging of the pancreas and abdomen

    MRCP:

    Imaging of biliary tree comparable to ERCP

    ERCP:

    Therapeutic intervention for stones

    Brushing and biopsy for malignancy

    Utility of Liver Function Test

    Sensitive and non invasive method of screening forthe presence of liver dysfunction

    The pattern of test abnormalities may allow to

    recognize type of liver disorder

    To assess the severity of liver disorder

    To follow the course of disease
