Liver Basics
The liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts make up the hepatobiliary tract. The liver is composed of lobules containing hepatocytes and receives blood from both the hepatic artery and portal vein. Bile produced by the liver is stored in the gallbladder and secreted through bile ducts. The liver has an incredible ability to regenerate even after losing 75% of its tissue. Liver damage progresses from inflammation to fibrosis to cirrhosis as regeneration is unable to keep up with injury over time. Common causes of hepatitis that can damage the liver include viral infections and toxins. Blood tests of liver enzymes and bilirubin can indicate liver injury and function.

Liver functions, disorders and diagnostic tests - ppt
The liver has many important functions including metabolism, synthesis of proteins and coagulation factors, and storage. Liver dysfunction can be caused by viral hepatitis, alcoholism, cirrhosis, cancer, genetic disorders, and other conditions. Liver function tests are used to detect and assess liver disease by measuring enzymes, bilirubin, albumin, and coagulation factors. While no single test fully evaluates liver function, together they can help distinguish between hepatocellular damage, cholestasis, and impaired synthetic function. Interpretation requires considering the clinical context along with multiple test results.

Alcoholic liver cirrhosis
This case study describes a 70-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital with abdominal distention, weakness, decreased appetite, and weight loss. His medical history revealed he was an alcoholic and smoker. Diagnostic tests showed signs of liver damage. Alcoholic liver cirrhosis occurs in stages from fatty liver to inflammation and scarring of the liver. Risk factors include quantity of alcohol consumed, genetics, and malnutrition. Treatment requires stopping alcohol consumption and may include vitamins, diet, and transplantation for severe cases.
Liver cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage and inflammation. It is irreversible and can develop from conditions like hepatitis, alcoholism, and genetic disorders. As fibrosis worsens and liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, it loses its normal structure and function. Late-stage cirrhosis complications include jaundice, ascites, bleeding, and liver failure. While cirrhosis cannot be cured, treatments focus on managing complications and underlying causes through lifestyle changes and medications. In some severe cases, liver transplantation may be required to survive.

liver cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver caused by long-term damage that impairs liver function. It has no cure. Heavy alcohol use is the leading cause of cirrhosis in the US. Symptoms may include fatigue, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Complications include fluid in the abdomen, easy bruising, and liver failure or cancer. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging, and biopsy to confirm liver damage and determine the cause and severity of cirrhosis.
acute pancreatitis
Based on current evidence and guidelines, enforced bed rest is no longer recommended for acute pancreatitis. The goals of treatment are to provide pain management and fluid resuscitation, prevent/treat complications, and maintain adequate nutrition while minimizing pancreatic stimulation. Resting the gut by withholding oral intake until symptoms resolve is still recommended, but complete bed rest does not provide additional benefits and may even be harmful by risking complications from immobility. Nurses should focus on supportive care, monitoring for complications, and early mobilization as tolerated.
Lecture 18 Hepatitis and liver disorders
The document discusses commonly used liver tests including aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, prothrombin time, and albumin. It then provides details on viral hepatitis types A, B, C, including symptoms, transmission, pathogenesis, and serological tests. Hepatitis A and E do not typically lead to chronic infection or liver cancer, while Hepatitis B, C, and D can become chronic and increase risk of liver cancer.
Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a condition characterized by fibrosis and architectural distortion of the liver that can be caused by various factors and lead to complications. When the underlying cause is removed, cirrhosis can sometimes be reversed as fibrosis decreases. Portal hypertension, which results from increased resistance to blood flow within the liver and increased blood flow into the portal vein, is a major complication of cirrhosis that can cause ascites, variceal bleeding, and other issues. Alcoholic cirrhosis is one of the most common types and is generally caused by long term, excessive alcohol consumption. Cessation of alcohol use is important for treatment.

Chronic_Liver_Disease.power point presentation
This document summarizes chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. It defines chronic liver disease as ongoing chronic liver damage that can progress to cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is characterized by diffuse hepatic cell injury, inflammation, fibrosis and nodular regeneration, resulting in the loss of normal liver architecture. Chronic liver disease can be compensated or decompensated. Compensated disease is asymptomatic while decompensated disease presents with jaundice, bleeding, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy. The causes, clinical features, investigations, grading scales like Child-Pugh, and management of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis are described.
Deseases of the liver
The document provides information on diseases of the liver including its anatomy, location, blood supply, functions, imaging techniques, and treatments for conditions like cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Specifically, it discusses:
1) The liver's key functions like synthesis of proteins, carbohydrate metabolism, and breakdown of toxins and drugs.
2) Causes of portal hypertension which can develop due to conditions like cirrhosis or extrahepatic issues blocking blood flow.
3) Treatment options for portal hypertension and esophageal varices including medications, endoscopic procedures, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts, and surgeries.
Cirrhosis of Liver

CKD: Uremia DAWFPIGZ
Uremia develops as a result of chronic kidney disease and deterioration of renal function. It causes fluid, electrolyte, and hormone imbalances which can damage multiple organ systems. As kidney function declines to a creatinine clearance below 10 mL/min, waste products like nitrogen cannot be removed from the body and accumulate, disrupting water and electrolyte balance and causing pathological changes. Patients with end-stage renal disease experience fatigue, nutritional issues, and anxiety from their condition and treatment.

Chronic liver disease in children22.pptx
This document discusses chronic liver disease and portal hypertension in children. It defines chronic liver disease as ongoing liver injury for at least 6 months that can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure. Cirrhosis is the end result of liver cell damage and destruction. The etiology of chronic liver disease in children varies according to age and includes infectious, metabolic, autoimmune, anatomical, and toxic/drug-induced causes. Some common chronic liver diseases in children discussed in detail include biliary atresia, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and Wilson's disease.
Hepatic disorder ! Cirrhosis, Jaundice
1. Hepatic disorders refer to diseases that affect the liver including jaundice, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy.
2. Jaundice is a condition where the skin and eyes become yellow due to high bilirubin levels in the blood and can be caused by liver damage or blockages in the bile ducts.
3. Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring of the liver caused by various conditions like hepatitis or alcoholism that disrupts liver structure and function. It can lead to complications like portal hypertension and ascites.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
