II. Pathophysiology

  1. Irreversible liver injury and inflammation leads to Hepatic Fibrosis and altered hepatic architecture
    1. Diffuse fibrotic bands
    2. Nodular regeneration (Micronodular and Macronodular)
    3. Decreased hepatic metabolic and synthetic function
      1. Decreased Clotting Factors and Thrombocytopenia
      2. Increased Bilirubin
  2. Results in increased Portal Hypertension

  2. Hepatocellular Carcinoma screening
    1. Serum Alpha-fetoprotein every six months
    2. Liver Ultrasound every 6 to 12 months

XVI. Evaluation: Coagulation abnormalities

  1. Pathophysiology
    1. End-stage liver disease patients have mixed Coagulation Disorders (both hypocoagulable and Hypercoagulable)
    2. Liver failure results in deficiency of pro-coagulant factors (increasing risk of bleeding)
      1. Procoagulant Factors: I (Fibrinogen), II (Prothrombin), V, IX, X (Thrombin) and XI
      2. Increased risk of Gastrointestinal Bleeding (especially Variceal Bleeding)
    3. Liver failure also results in deficiency of Anticoagulant factors (increasing risk of clotting)
      1. Anticoagulant Factors: Protein C, Protein S and Antithrombin
      2. Increased risk of Portal Vein Thrombosis, Deep Vein Thrombosis
    4. INR is a poor marker for bleeding risk in liver failure
      1. INR is specific for Warfarin which affects all Vitamin K dependent factors (II, VII, IX and X) equally
      2. Liver failure, in contrast, affects both procoagulants and Anticoagulants inconsistently
    5. More accurate markers of bleeding risk in liver failure
      1. Fibrinogen
      2. Thromboelastogram (limited availability)
  2. Active bleeding management
    1. Replace blood losses with Packed Red Blood Cells
      1. Aim for systolic Blood Pressure >90 mmHg (permissive Hypotension)
      2. Exercise caution with blood replacement in Variceal Bleeding
        1. May increase bleeding due to increased pressure
        2. Villanueva (2013) N Engl J Med 368(1):11-21 [PubMed]
    2. Manage bleeding source (e.g. Variceal Bleeding)
    3. Reversal of Coagulopathy is based on expert opinion only
      1. Increased INR reversed with PCC4 or FFP is commonly used but may not alter bleeding risk
      2. Cryoprecipitate indications
        1. Fibrinogen <150 mg/dl
        2. Fibrinogen increases 100 mg/dl with 10 units of Cryoprecipitate
      3. Platelet indications
        1. Platelet Count <50,000
    4. Invasive procedures
      1. Bleeding complications are most reduced when procedure is performed by most skilled provider
        1. In contrast to risk based on degree of Coagulopathy
        2. Deloughery (1996) Transfusion 36(9): 827-31 [PubMed]
  3. Anticoagulation
    1. Consult hepatology and adjust regimen for severe liver disease (e.g. Child-Pugh C), Esophageal Varices
    2. Decreasing portal pressure (e.g. Beta Blockers) may reduce bleeding risk on Anticoagulation
    3. Warfarin may be used if baseline INR (before Warfarin) is <1.7
    4. Direct Oral Anticoagulants or DOACS (e.g. Apixaban) may be used in Child-Pugh A, and some Child-Pugh B cases

      3. Compensated Cirrhosis with no Varices
        1. Upper endoscopy screening for Varices q2-3 years
        2. Targeted screening of those with findings suggestive of Portal Hypertension is replacing general screening
      4. Compensated Cirrhosis with small Varices
        1. Upper endoscopy screening for Varices every 1-2 years

        2. Hypovolemic Hypoosmolar Hyponatremia (most common acutely)
          1. Stop Diuretics
          2. Gentle rehydration with Intravenous Fluid
        3. Hypervolemic Hypoosmolar Hyponatremia (typically chronic)
          1. Free water restriction limited to 1 to 1.5 Liters daily
          2. Avoid rapid correction outside severe acute Hyponatremia
          3. Consider albumin infusion
    6. Hepatocellular Carcinoma screening
      1. Ultrasound liver every 6-12 months
      2. Also consider alpha fetoprotein test every 6-12 months
    7. Coagulopathy
      1. Results from impaired hepatocyte synthetic function of both Anticoagulant and procoagulant factors
      2. Elevated INR (aside from Warfarin use) does not reflect bleeding or Hypercoagulable risk in Cirrhosis
        1. Do NOT correct INR with FFP or PCC prior to procedures in patients not on Warfarin
        2. Increased INR without Warfarin does not protect against Venous Thromboembolism
  8. Comorbid conditions and symptoms
    1. Leg Cramps are common (esp. with Diuretic use)
      1. Monitor serum Electrolytes
      2. Baclofen 5-10 mg up to three times daily

Ontology: Liver Cirrhosis (C0023890)

Definition (MSHCZE) Jaterní onemocnění, při němž bývá poškozena krevní mikrocirkulace v játrech a normální stavba jaterní tkáně je pozměněna vláknitými septy, která obklopují regenerované nebo regenerující se parenchymové uzliny.
Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver. Scar tissue forms because of injury or long-term disease. Scar tissue cannot do what healthy liver tissue does - make protein, help fight infections, clean the blood, help digest food and store energy. Cirrhosis can lead to

  • Easy bruising or bleeding, or nosebleeds
  • Swelling of the abdomen or legs
  • Extra sensitivity to medicines
  • High blood pressure in the vein entering the liver
  • Enlarged veins called varices in the esophagus and stomach. Varices can bleed suddenly.
  • Kidney failure
  • Jaundice
  • Severe itching
  • Gallstones

A small number of people with cirrhosis get liver cancer.

Your doctor will diagnose cirrhosis with blood tests, imaging tests, or a biopsy.

Cirrhosis has many causes. In the United States, the most common causes are chronic alcoholism and hepatitis. Nothing will make the scar tissue disappear, but treating the cause can keep it from getting worse. If too much scar tissue forms, you may need to consider a liver transplant.

NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
Definition (NCI) A disorder characterized by replacement of the liver parenchyma with fibrous tissue and regenerative nodules. It is usually caused by alcoholisms, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Complications include the development of ascites, esophageal varices, bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy.
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A type of chronic, progressive liver disease in which liver cells are replaced by scar tissue.
Definition (MSH) Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.
Definition (CSP) liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.
