Cirrhosis • Definition • Diagnosis • Pathogenesis • Treatment • Outlook
Cirrhosis • Definition • Distortion of hepatic architecture by fibrosis and attempted regeneration that leads to loss of function, portal hypertension, and potential hepatocellular malignancy.

Cirrhosis • Diagnosis • Laboratory • Synthetic defect • Albumen, INR • Thrombocytopenia • Ammonia • Bilirubin • AST / ALT • aFP
Cirrhosis • Diagnosis • Radiologic • Can rule in but not rule out • Sensitivity and specificity of 80% • Splenomegaly, varices, ascites
Cirrhosis • Diagnosis • Biopsy • 1% risk of complications • Often understages • Misdiagnosed in 10-30% • Optimal biopsy 40 mm • Average 16 mm
Cirrhosis • Diagnosis • Noninvasive • Fibroscan • Fibrosure • Actitest • AST/platelet ratio ( AST / ULN)/PLT (109/L)×100.
Cirrhosis • Pathogenesis
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat underlying disease • Treat manifestations • Screen for problems • Varices • HCC • Transplantation
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat underlying disease • HBV/HCV – slow progression • HHC – slow progression • AIH – slow progression • EtOH – slow progression
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • Encephalopathy • Varices
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • Tap • SAAG >1.1 • Culture • Cytology • Albumen • Lasix / aldactone • Salt restriction 2g/day • Tap / TIPS
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • SAAG • >1.1 Cirrhosis, CHF, Mets, FHF, Budd-Chiari • <1.1 Peritoneal Ca, TB, bile leak, nephrotic syndrome
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • Tap • 1100 LVP • INR 8.7 • Plt 19 • No major complications Hepatology 2004: 40:484-488
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • “Failure” • High salt diet • IV fluids • NSAIDS Hepatology 2004: 40:484-488
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Ascites • SBP • >250 PMN • Cefotaxime • Quinolones Hepatology 2004: 40:484-488
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Hepatorenal syndrome • GFR>1.5 or CrCl <40 • No shock, infection, etc • Urine protein <500 mg/day Hepatology 2004: 40:484-488
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Hepatorenal syndrome • Current treatment • Preventive • Transplant • Midodrine / octreotide Hepatology 2004: 40:484-488
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Varices • Predict with thrombocytopenia • Grading I-IV • Bleeding risk with III IV • Screen • Repeat in 1-2 years if grade I or II • Repeat in 6 months if III IV
Cirrhosis • Treatment • Treat manifestations • Varices • Bleeding carries up to 50% mortality • Transfusion to Hb 8 • Octreotide • Intubation • Endoscopy • b blockers • Antibiotics for SBP
Cirrhosis • Outlook • Bad • Mortality • Compensated • Decompensated • Variceal bleed 20% • Ascites 50% 2 year
Cirrhosis • Outlook • Hepatocellular carcinoma • Risk 1-5%/year • Increased with: • Male • Iron • HBV • a1AT
Cirrhosis • Outlook • Transplantation • HCV/alcohol • NASH • HCC • PBC/PSC
Cirrhosis • Outlook • Transplantation • MELD score • MELD Score = 10 {0.957 Ln(Scr) + 0.378 Ln(Tbil) + 1.12 Ln(INR) + 0.643}
Cirrhosis • Key points • Diagnosis • Anything fixable? • Management of manifestations • Screening for problems • Transplantation
