Extractions: Portal-Systemic Encephalopathy by Sanjay Sandhir, MD Frederick L. Weber, Jr, MD Current Practice of Medicine Key Points Introduction Portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE) is a common disorder characterized by a mental disturbance that accompanies the portal-systemic shunting of blood. PSE usually occurs in patients with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension whose portal systemic shunts are either spontaneous or are created surgically, but the transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic shunt (TIPS) procedure accounts for an increasing number of portal-systemic shunts. PSE can be distinguished from other types of hepatic encephalopathy, most importantly from the encephalopathy that accompanies acute liver failure, which is termed fulminant hepatic failure PSE is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome with a wide range of signs and symptoms. Many clinical situations are grouped under the broad term hepatic encephalopathy , including PSE; inherited urea cycle enzyme deficiencies; fulminant hepatic failure due to viruses, alcohol, or toxins; and Reyes syndrome. PSE may present with different patterns, including acute, acute recurrent, chronic, or subclinical PSE. Each of these types is potentially reversible, except for certain motor abnormalities when associated with structural alterations in the brain or spinal cord [ Pathogenesis PSE is a metabolic encephalopathy that is thought to be precipitated when the brain is exposed to toxic metabolites of gut origin caused by poor hepatic clearance and portal-systemic shunts. Most interest has focused on nitrogenous metabolites, ammonia in particular, because of the dramatic effect of dietary protein in precipitating hepatic encephalopathy. Blood is usually elevated in patients with PSE [

Gastrointestinal disorders with prominent cutaneous features may be inherited or acquired. Liver disease commonly is associated with cutaneous abnormalities (Table above). Recently it has become evident that hepatitis C viral infection is associated with porphyria cutanea tarda, cryoglobulinemia, and possibly lichen planus. Recognition of this disease in various multisystem disorders with protean manifestations can lead to a change in the therapeutic approach. Because initial infection with hepatitis C is often asymptomatic and there may be a long latency period to the development of an associated condition, we predict that more patients with these cutaneous diseases will be seen in the future.
Extractions: 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: 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.

Some common liver disease symptoms include the following, each of which are described briefly below: What is jaundice? Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes due to abnormally high levels of bilirubin (bile pigment) in the bloodstream. Urine is usually dark because of the bilirubin excreted through the kidneys.

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.

Merrick III M.D., and Richard Gusberg, M.D. ASSUMPTIONS The student understands the anatomy of the liver. The student understands the anatomy of portal circulation. The student understands the pathology of liver cysts and neoplasms. Describe the treatment modalities available for Portal Hypertension Anatomy and Physiology of the Hepatic Circulation The liver has a dual blood supply, receiving blood from both the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The portal vein is formed behind the pancreas by the confluence of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins. It is the most posterior structure in the hepatoduodenal ligament (Fig. 24.1). The portal vein bifurcates into right and left branches just before entering the substance of the liver. The left gastric or coronary vein, which drains the lesser curvature of the stomach, enters the portal vein near its origin. The coronary vein is normally a minor branch of the portal vein but becomes a major collateral when portal venous pressure is elevated. The splenic vein lies behind the pancreas for most of its length and is usually joined by the inferior mesenteric vein just prior to entering the portal vein. Many of the hormones secreted into the portal venous circulation have a role in the regulation of hepatic metabolism. In addition, some hormones, particularly insulin, have trophic effects on the liver and contribute to maintenance of normal liver size, function, and capacity for regeneration.
