Diseases of the liver and biliary tract

Veno-occlusive liver disease: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Venousocclusion disease of the liver (sinusoidal occlusive syndrome) is caused by obstruction of terminal hepatic venules and sinusoids of the liver, rather than hepatic veins or inferior vena cava.

Badda-Chiari Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Badda-Chiari syndrome is an occlusion with a violation of venous outflow from the hepatic veins, which can be localized at the level from the right atrium to small branches of the hepatic veins.

Ischemic cholangiopathy

Ischemic cholangiopathy is a focal ischemia of the biliary tree of any etiology in which the peribiliary arterial plexus is destroyed.

Liver infarction: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A liver infarct is a focal hepatocellular necrosis resulting from focal ischemia of the liver of any etiology.

Ischemic hepatitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Ischemic hepatitis (acute liver infarction, hypoxic hepatitis, shock liver) is a diffuse lesion of the liver as a result of generalized liver ischemia of any etiology.

Fulpminant hepatitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fulminant hepatitis is a rare syndrome of massive necrosis of the liver parenchyma with a reduction in its size (acute yellow atrophy), which usually occurs with viral hepatitis or when exposed to toxic substances or medications.

Tuberculosis and liver disease

Disturbances in liver function and structure in patients with tuberculosis can be a consequence of the effect of tuberculosis intoxication, hypoxemia, antituberculous drugs, concomitant diseases, tuberculosis lesion of the hepatobiliary system.

Barrett's esophagus in children

The problem of Barrett's esophagus attracts the attention of clinicians around the world for half a century. This topic has been studied in sufficient detail and is described in no less detail in the "adult" literature.

Structures after liver transplantation

Complications from the biliary tract after liver transplantation develop in 10-20% of cases. These include strictures, the flow of bile, fistula and cholangitis. Strictures of anastomoses due to technical errors, inflammation due to bile flow and fibrosis, and strictures that are not associated with anastomoses, which form above the anastomosis in the direction of the gates of the liver, caused in some cases by ischemia of the ducts can be observed.

Gallbladder carcinoma

This tumor is rare. In 75% of cases it is combined with gallstones, in many cases - with cholecystitis. There are no convincing signs of an etiological relationship between these diseases. Any reason for the formation of gallstones predisposes to the development of a tumor.
