Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder worldwide, affecting up to 25% of the general population. It is strongly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The pathogenesis involves insulin resistance leading to fatty infiltration of the liver followed by oxidative stress causing inflammation and fibrosis. Clinical features are often asymptomatic, though elevated liver enzymes and hepatomegaly may be seen. Diagnosis relies on excluding other causes of liver disease and imaging or biopsy. Potential therapies focus on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise and weight loss as well as treatments targeting underlying conditions and antioxidants.
The liver plays a vital role in many metabolic functions, but can fail due to disease, toxicity, or other stress factors. Early liver failure involves inflammation and scarring of the liver tissue, while advanced failure occurs when compensatory mechanisms are overwhelmed and toxic substances build up. Acute liver failure has many potential causes including viral hepatitis, toxic drugs, and shock. Medical tests like bloodwork and imaging can help identify the underlying cause and extent of damage. Key nursing priorities include monitoring for complications like fluid imbalance and hepatic encephalopathy. Treatment focuses on supportive care, dietary modifications, and addressing any underlying triggers.

Another liver disorder is cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that is difficult to treat and often fatal.
Liver function is complex, and liver dysfunction affects all body systems.
For this reason, the nurse must understand how the liver functions and must have expert assessment and clinical management skills to care for patients undergoing complex diagnostic and treatment procedures.
The liver plays additional roles in detoxification of chemicals and synthesis and storage of important nutrients and The liver is especially important in the regulation of glucose and protein metabolism .
Anatomy and Physiology of the GI System, Hormonal Control, Upper GI Tract Disorders, Gallbladder Disorders, Liver Disorders, Pancreatic Disorders, Lower GI Tract Disorders
Acute renal failure and chronic renal failure are discussed. Acute renal failure can be prerenal, renal, or postrenal and is characterized by a sudden reduction in urine output. Chronic renal failure is a permanent loss of kidney function that progresses to end stage renal disease. It has multiple etiologies including glomerular diseases. Both present with electrolyte imbalances, fluid retention, and other complications. Treatment focuses on fluid management, diet modification, and dialysis or transplantation as needed.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that can result in its self-digestion. It is commonly seen in middle-aged men and women, with about 5000 cases per year in the US. Risk factors include abdominal trauma, alcohol use, gallstones, hyperlipidemia, and certain medications. The pancreas releases enzymes that normally break down food but in pancreatitis can damage the pancreas itself. Treatment focuses on pain relief, preventing shock, and suppressing pancreatic enzymes through NPO, NG suction and medications while correcting electrolyte imbalances and maintaining hydration.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable.

2. Objectives:
-understand nutritional modification in different
stages of liver diseases .
-discuss the importance of adequate nutritional
monitoring in end stage liver diseases
-support maintenance of as much normal liver
function as possible
3. Metabolizes CHO, proteins, fat
Synthesizes plasma proteins
Stores vitamins and minerals
Forms blood clotting factors
Detoxifies drugs & toxins
Produces & excretes bile
Regulates hormone function
Phagocytic activities
Acts as reservoir for blood volume
Functions of the Liver
4. Liver Damage
1-Fatty Liver
Accumulation of fat in the liver,
Most common of liver disorders
Usually mild & reversible, but can progress to serious illness &
liver damage
Causes
Alcoholic liver disease
Exposure to drugs & toxic metals
Associated with
Obesity
Diabetes mellitus
Marasmus & kwashiorkor
Gastrointestinal bypass surgery
Long-term TPN
6. Types of viral Hepatitis
Hepatitis A
Extremely contagious
Most common
Cause: fecal-oral
Hepatitis B
Blood contact
Sexual contact
Vaccinations available
Hepatitis C
Blood contact
Major cause of chronic hepatitis
8. Acute Viral Hepatitis
Widespread inflammation of the liver
that is caused by hepatitis viruses A, B,
C, D and E
Hep A: oral-fecal route
Hep B and C: body fluids
Hep D: occurs only in pts with Hep B
Hep E: oral-fecal route; seen more often in
Asia, Africa, Mexico
Hasse JM et al. ASPEN Nutrition Support Practice Manual, 2nd edition, 2005
9. Hepatitis
Treatment
Supportive care; bed rest & appropriate diet
Avoidance of substances that aggravate liver (alcohol, drugs or dietary
supplements that cause liver damage)
Hepatitis A usually resolves without medications
Hepatitis B & hepatitis C infections may require antiviral agents
Nonviral forms: treated with anti-inflammatory & immunosuppressant
drugs
Nutrition therapy
May require high-kcalorie, high-protein diet to replenish nutrient stores
Liquid supplements may improve nutrient intakes
Small, frequent meals easier to tolerate for patients with anorexia or GI
discomfort
Fluid & electrolyte replacement necessary in case of vomiting
Sodium & fat restriction may be recommended
Nutrition & Diet Therapy, 7th Edition
10. •Lean meat & egg Wight
•Skim milk
•more fluid intake
•meals should be attractive and well cooked
• give boiled or grilled food
• more vegetable and fruit or high fiber diet .
17. Treatment of Cirrhosis
Individualized according to disease severity & complications
Supportive care
Appropriate diet
Avoidance of liver toxins
Abstinence from alcohol
Drug therapy
Medications for portal hypertension, varices
Diuretics
Appetite stimulants
Medications to reduce or control blood ammonia levels
Nutrition therapy
Customized for each patient’s needs
Avoidance of substances that can cause further liver damage
Enteral & Parenteral nutrition support as indicated
Nutrition & Diet Therapy, 7th Edition
21. IV. Gallbladder Disease
Gallstones (cholelithiasis)
Gallbladder stores the bile made by the
liver
Disorders of gall bladder & bile ducts
result in formation of gallstones
Results from excessive concentration &
crystallization
Two Types
1. Cholesterol gallstones: majority of
cases of gallstones; composed primarily
of cholesterol; precipitation of
cholesterol out of solution eventually
forms stones
2. Pigment gallstones: composed
mainly of calcium salt of bilirubin;
often result of bacterial infection
Nutrition & Diet Therapy, 7th Edition
Bile: solution of bile
salts, cholesterol,
proteins, phospholipids
& bilirubin
22. Gallbladder Disease
Consequences of gallstones
Many asymptomatic
Other symptoms—usually occur
when gallstones block cystic duct
Steady & severe pain
Nausea, vomiting, bloating
Symptoms mainly occur after meals,
especially fatty foods
Complications
Cholecystitis
Peritonitis
Blockage of common bile duct
Infection
Risk factors for gallstones
Ethnicity
Age & gender
Pregnancy
Obesity & weight loss
Other risk factors
Long-term TPN
Medications
High TG levels
Treatment
Low fat diet
Cholecystectomy
Non-surgical
Capsule urso-deoxycholic acid
(cholesterol production; used on
small stones)
Shock-wave lithotripsy (used on
few and larger stones)
Nutrition & Diet Therapy, 7th Edition
23. Jaundice
Inability of liver to conjugate
bilirubin
Bilirubin- bile pigment from
breakdown of Hb from RBC’s
by macrophages
Skin & sclera – jaundice
Excreted in urine – tea colored
urine
Blocked from flow into
intestines – clay colored stools
Hyperbilirubinemia >1.2mg/dl
24. II. Cirrhosis
End-stage condition resulting from
chronic liver disease
Gradual destruction of liver tissue,
leading to scarring
Progressive disease results in
increased scarring, few areas of
healthy tissue
Impairs liver function & can lead to
liver failure
Causes
Alcohol abuse & hepatitis C
infection most common causes
Chronic hepatitis
Drug-induced
Inherited disorders
Bile duct blockages
Consequences
Initial disease: mild or
asymptomatic, fatigue,
weakness, anorexia, weight loss
Later disease: decline in liver
function, anemia, impaired
blood clotting, increased
susceptibility to infection,
jaundice, fat malabsorption
Advanced disease: disruption of
kidney & lung function
Altered liver enzymes, bilirubin
levels
Lowered albumin levels,
extended clotting times
Elevated blood ammonia levels
Nutrition & Diet Therapy, 7th Edition
25. Cirrhosis
Consequences (con’t)
Portal hypertension
Scarred tissue of cirrhotic liver impairs
blood flow through liver
Resistance to blood flow increases
pressure in portal vein: portal
hypertension
Collaterals & gastroesophageal varices
Collateral circulation-smaller blood
vessels enlarge to allow alternative
pathway for blood flow because (in GI
tract & near abdominal wall)
As a result, varices form (collaterals
become enlarged & engorged with
blood)
Ruptured esophageal or gastric varices
can result in massive bleeding, often
fatal
Ascites
Accumulation of fluid in the
abdominal cavity; indicates critical
stage of liver damage
Thought to be consequence of
portal hypertension, reduced
albumin synthesis & altered kidney
function
Hepatic encephalopathy:
characterized by abnormal
neurological functioning
Changes in personality, mental
abilities & motor function
Amnesia, seizures
Hepatic coma
Elevated blood ammonia levels
Malnutrition & wasting
