What is Cirrhosis?•A chronic, progressive disease of the liver•Extensive parenchymal cell degeneration & Destruction of parenchymal cells

•Normal lobular structure distorted by fibrotic connective tissue

•Lobules are irregular in size and shape with impaired vascular flow

• This is the external surface of a normal liver. The color is brown and the surface is smooth. A normal liver is about 1200 to 1600 grams.

Click on the portal triad and then on the central vein in the section of liver below

• Liver is divided histologically into lobules. The center of the lobule is the central vein. At the periphery of the lobule are portal triads. Functionally, the liver can be divided into three zones, based upon oxygen supply. Zone 1 encircles the portal tracts where the oxygenated blood from hepatic arteries enters. Zone 3 is located around central veins, where oxygenation is poor. Zone 2 is located in .between

What is the Function of the Liver?

•The liver extracts nutrients from the blood and processes them for later use.

•The liver makes bile, which is used by the digestive system to help absorb fat and certain vitamins.

•The liver also removes medications and toxic waste-products from the blood and excretes them into bile.

•The liver is the body’s main factory for blood proteins, including the proteins involved in normal blood clotting function.

Etiology of Cirrhosis•Alcoholic liver disease 40-45%

•Viral hepatitis & Post necrotic cirrhosis 20-25%

•Biliary disease 10-15%•Cardiac cirrhosis 5%

•Primary hemochromatosis 5-10%

•Cryptogenic cirrhosis 10%

•Wilson’s, α1AT def rare

Alcoholic liver

• This is an example of a micronodular cirrhosis. The regenerative nodules are quite small, averaging less than 3 mm in size. The most common cause for this is chronic alcoholism. The process of cirrhosis develops over many years.

13

Viral hepatitis •Here is another example of macronodular cirrhosis. Viral hepatitis (B or C) is the most common cause for macronodular cirrhosis. Wilson's disease and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency also can produce a macronodular cirrhosis.

14

Post necrotic cirrhosis

• Ongoing liver damage with liver cell necrosis followed by fibrosis and hepatocyte regeneration results in cirrhosis. This produces a nodular, firm liver. The nodules seen here are larger than 3 mm and, hence, this is an example of "macronodular" cirrhosis

Biliary disease• A close-up view of a micronodular cirrhosis in a liver with fatty change demonstrates the small, yellow nodules. Micronodular cirrhosis may also be seen with Wilson's disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, and hemochromatosis.

What are the Complications of Cirrhosis

•Ascites•Varices•Hepatic Encephalopathy•Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)

•spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

21

What Treatments for Cirrhosis are Available

•total avoidance of alcohol•updating vaccinations •Dietary salt restriction and diuretic medications

•blood-pressure reducing medications

•TIPS shunt•liver transplantation
