Online Resources Digestive disorders affecting infants and children range from simple problems that most children experience from time to time, such as vomiting or diarrhea, to more serious (and possibly life-threatening) birth defects such as tracheoesophageal fistula, or illnesses such as appendicitis. Digestive and liver disorders can have significant effects on the health of a child. A healthy digestive system processes the foods and liquids that we eat, replenishing vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are vital for the body to function properly. Occasional vomiting or diarrhea may lead to dehydration, however, long-term problems with the digestive system and/or liver can deplete these important nutrients, causing malnutrition that affects a child's physical and mental growth and development. Some digestive disorders, such as vomiting or diarrhea, may be effectively treated by your child's physician. Other times, your child's physician may refer you to a physician who specializes in children's digestive and liver disorders. This specialist is known as a Pediatric Gastroenterologist.

What is portal hypertension? What are some common liver disease symptoms? When diagnosing liver disease, the physician looks at the patient's symptoms and conducts a physical examination. In addition, the physician may request a liver biopsy, liver enzyme tests, an ultrasound, or a CT scan (computed tomography scan). Some common liver disease symptoms include the following, each of which are described briefly below: jaundice, cholestasis, liver enlargement, portal hypertension , ascites, liver encephalopathy and liver failure. Return to top What is jaundice? Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes due to an abnormally high level of bilirubin (bile pigment) in the bloodstream, which is then excreted through the kidneys. High levels of bilirubin may be attributed to inflammation or other abnormalities of the liver cells, or blockage of the bile ducts. Sometimes jaundice is caused by the breakdown of a large number of red blood cells, which can occur in newborns. Jaundice is usually the first sign, and sometimes the only sign, of liver disease.

Home Medical Departments Digestive Disorders Liver Disorders FOR PORTAL VEIN THROMBOSIS What is portal hypertension? The cause of the problem Signs and symptoms Diagnosis ... Outcomes What is portal hypertension? Portal hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure in the portal vein. The portal vein is the blood vessel that brings all of the blood from the intestines to the liver. It supplies the liver with 75% of its blood supply and 50% of its oxygen. Much of the food we eat is broken down in the stomach and intestines and is brought to the liver by the portal vein for further processing. Portal hypertension can happen because of a sick liver that is slowly being replaced with scar tissue. Portal hypertension can also happen after a blood clot forms in the portal vein and acts like a dam. This is called portal vein thrombosis. Blood backs up behind the blockage and leads to the formation of abnormal blood vessels called varices. Return to top The cause of the problem Portal vein thrombosis is only one cause of portal hypertension, and usually happens in children whose liver is otherwise normal. Often the high blood pressure is due to a blockage, typically a large clot, in the large vein to the liver, and as a result, blood no longer flows normally (this blockage is known as extra-hepatic portal vein thrombosis, EHPVT). In an attempt to get around the blockage, the body grows new blood vessels (called varices) that connect blood flow from the intestine directly to the general circulation, bypassing the liver. The new blood vessels are commonly found near the stomach, esophagus and spleen. When this liver bypass occurs, waste products that are normally removed by the liver pass into general circulation.

Cage Johnson, M.D. Director, Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Southern California University of Southern California Health Sciences Center Los Angeles, CA Revised January 10, 2001 Gall Bladder and Liver Disorders in Sickle Cell Disease: a Critical Review Introduction Liver and biliary tract dysfunction are common complications of sickle cell anemia and its variants. Early reports described jaundice, hepatic infarcts, acute and chronic viral hepatitis, choledocholithiasis, and cirrhosis. The pathophysiology of hepatic dysfunction was attributed to the classic histologic features of Kupffer cell erythrophagocytosis and engorgement of sinusoids by aggregates of sickled cells. More recent reports have emphasized the importance of hepatic disease as a consequence of conditions not necessarily related to hemoglobinopathy. Despite nearly 200 reports in the last 15 years on the hepato-biliary aspects of the sickling disorders, the frequency and pathophysiology of hepatic lesions remain unclear. The hepato-biliary complications of the sickling disorders can be separated into broad categories of disorders related to hemolysis, the problems of anemia and transfusion management, the consequences of sickling and vaso-occlusion, and defects unrelated to hemoglobin S. These complications of the sickling disorders are most common in sickle cell anemia (Hb SS), but also occur to a lesser extent in the doubly heterozygous sickle diseases, including

Blood Proteins CV Profile CV Overview Body Mass Index Heart Disease Risk Factors Healthy Living Disorders of the Liver - An Overview The liver is the largest organ in the human body. The liver can best be described as a complex chemical factory which performs many functions that are essential for life. A few of these include: changing food into energy, clearing alcohol and poisons from the blood and producing chemicals that the body needs for proper functioning. There are many diseases that can affect the liver. Common among these diseases are various forms of "hepatitis". Hepatitis is a general term that denotes "inflammation" or "irritation" of the liver. Hepatitis can result from infection (viral hepatitis), chemicals or drugs (toxic hepatitis) or immunologic abnormalities (autoimmune hepatitis). Sometimes hepatitis resolves in a matter of weeks to months with little or no permanent damage to the liver. However if the inflammation last for six months or longer, it is known as chronic hepatitis. Chronic hepatitis, like multiple other liver disorders, can exist for many years in the absence of symptoms. These disorders can remain undetected until the liver is severely damaged. Hepatitis C and hemochromatosis are just two examples. For additional and more complete information on liver disorders, the following web sites are suggested:
