Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Dear Jenny, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Cirrhosis of the liver is a chronic, diffuse (widely spread throughout the organ), degenerative disease in which the parenchyma (the functional organ tissue) deteriorates; the lobules are infiltrated with fat and structurally altered; dense perilobular connective tissue forms; and often areas of regeneration develop. The surviving cells multiply in an attempt to regenerate and form " islands " of living cells that are separated by scar tissue. These islands of living cells have a reduced blood supply, resulting in impaired liver function. As the cirrhotic process continues, blood flow through the liver becomes blocked; portal hypertension may occur (high blood pressure in the veins connecting the liver with the intestines and spleen); glucose and vitamin absorption decrease; the manufacturing of hormones and stomach and bowel function are affected; and noticeable facial veins may appear. Approximately one-third of cirrhosis cases are " compensated, " meaning there are no clinical symptoms. Compensated cases are usually discovered during routine tests for other problems or during surgery or autopsy. Cirrhosis is irreversible. Unless the underlying cause of cirrhosis is removed and the person takes measures to treat the condition, the liver will continue to incur damage, eventually leading to liver failure, ammonia toxicity, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, kidney failure, hepatic coma, and death. Cirrhosis can be caused by many things, some known and others unknown: -Alcohol: Using alcohol in excess is the most common cause of cirrhosis in the United States. -Chronic Viral Hepatitis: Type B and Type C hepatitis, and perhaps other viruses, can infect and damage the liver over a prolonged time and eventually cause cirrhosis. -Chronic Bile Duct Blockage: This condition can occur at birth (biliary atresia) or develop later in life (primary biliary cirrhosis). The cause of the latter remains unknown. When the bile ducts outside the liver become narrowed and blocked, the condition is called primary sclerosing cholangitis. This condition is often associated with chronic ulceration of the colon (colitis). -Abnormal Storage of Copper (Wilson's Disease) or Iron (Hemochromatosis): These metals are present in all body cells. When abnormal amounts of them accumulate in the liver, scarring and cirrhosis may develop. -Drugs and Toxins: Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or drugs can scar the liver. -Autoimmune Hepatitis: This chronic inflammation occurs when the body's protective antibodies fail to recognize the liver as its own tissue. The antibodies injure the liver cells as though they were a foreign protein or bacteria. -Cystic Fibrosis and Alpha l-antitrypsin Deficiency: These disorders are inherited. Signs and Symptoms: Cirrhosis takes years to develop. During this time, there are usually no symptoms, although fatigue, weakness and decreased appetite may occur and worsen with time. When cirrhosis is fully developed, a number of signs may be present: -Fluid retention in the legs and abdomen: The liver produces a protein, called albumin, that holds fluid in blood vessels. When the blood level of albumen falls, fluid seeps out of the tissues into the legs and abdomen, causing edema (fluid accumulation) and swelling. -Jaundice:The liver produces bile that normally flows into the intestine.With advanced cirrhosis, bile can back up into the blood, causing the skin and eyes to turn yellow and the urine to darken. -Intense Itching:Certain types of cirrhosis, such as chronic bile duct blockage, can produce troublesome itching. -Gallstones: Cirrhosis causes the abnormal metabolism of bile pigment. Because of this, gallstones develop twice as often in cirrhosis patients as in those without the disorder. -Coagulation Defects: The liver makes certain proteins that help clot blood. When these proteins are deficient, excessive or prolonged bleeding happens. -Mental Function Change: The liver processes toxins from the intestine. When these substances escape into the bloodstream, as occurs in severe cases of cirrhosis, a variety of changes in mental function can develop. -Esophageal Vein Bleeding: In advanced cirrhosis, intestinal blood bypasses the liver and flows up and around the esophagus (the food tube) to the heart. The veins in the esophagus dilate (widen) and may rupture, causing slow or massive intestinal bleeding. Perhaps 90 percent of cirrhosis is caused by excessive alcohol consumption or hepatitis viruses.
