The incidence and prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is growing worldwide, leading to high mortality rates. The disease occurs mainly in cirrhotic patients, and the cure can be reached only when it is diagnosed early or when the tumor is submitted to adjuvant therapies to reduce the tumor size, being the transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) the most used approach to achieve th…
Osteoporosis is the only complication of liver cirrhosis that persists even after liver transplantation. It is a common complication among cirrhotic patients, increasing the risk of fractures and thus affecting morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are needed to avoid fractures and disability. The treatment requires nutritional supplementation of calcium and …
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious complication of cirrhosis. The swelling of astrocytes, caused by the conversion of ammonia to glutamine into the brain, is a leading cause of persistent HE, impairing the cerebral blood flow. It has been shown that alkalemia is a trigger for HE, but few studies have evaluated the serum pH in these patients.The use of branched chain amino acids (BCA…
Cholelithiasis is the most common biliary disease, affecting approximately 20% of the world's population. It is prevalent in obese individuals, women and elderly people, but has increased in adults aged 20 to 40 years due to lifestyle changes and genetic factors. A specific cause of symptomatic cholelithiasis in young patients is LPAC syndrome (low-phospholipid associated cholelithiasis),…
Introduction: Gallstone disease is a huge health problem that tends to growth with the increasein obesity, overweight and other risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle and Western diet. Oneof the less common causes is low phospholipids associated cholelithiasis (LPAC), caused by agenetic mutation and diagnosed by the presence of at least two of three criteria: symptomaticcholelithiasis b…
Cirrhosis is a serious disease that usually remains asymptomatic until decompensating events, which occurs after development of portal hypertension. Among these events, one of the most serious is upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), an emergency that causes hematemesis, melena and/or hematochezia. UGIB incidence is up to 25%-40% among these patients, with mortality reaching up to 30% …
Introduction: Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis, and it is estimated that more than half of such patients will have ascites at some time in their lives. Low-sodium diet and diuretics are the mainstay treatments, but in 10% of cases the ascites turns out refractory and the patient begin to be submitted to large-volume paracentesis. A relevant complaint of these patients …
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and prevalent liver disease, with high mortality that is difficult to predict, which can lead to serious complications such as esophageal varices,ascites, hepatic encephalopathy and hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, the Child-Pugh and MELD scores are the most important prognostic predictors for patientswith liver cirrhosis. Recently, a new predictor of mort…
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become one of the main causes of cirrhosis in the West world. However, the hospitalization reasons in this population are still not well understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the proportion of hospitalizations due to cirrhosis secondary to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the Botucatu Medical School/UNESP in the last ten years, to evalua…
