Macronodular Cirrhosis

Hepatocellular carcinoma is rare in infancy. This report describes the first documented case of congenital hepatocellular carcinoma associated with macronodular cirrhosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cryptogenic Cirrhosis

Abstract Some patients diagnosed with cryptogenic cirrhosis may have "burned-out" nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL). To test this hypothesis, we used our liver transplant database (November 1984 to November 1998) to assess the incidence of NAFL in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis after orthotopic liver[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Portal Vein Thrombosis

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is being recognized with increasing frequency with the use of ultrasonography. Reduced portal blood flow caused by hepatic parenchymal disease and abdominal sepsis (ie, infectious or ascending thrombophlebitis) are the major causes. Transient PVT is also being recognized with increasing[…] [emedicine.com]

Czeizel Springer Science & Business Media, ٠٥‏/٠٧‏/٢٠١٠ - 532 من الصفحات The major objective of our studies in the last decade was a systematic analysis of maternal diseases during pregnancy to reveal their possible adverse effects on birth outcomes.

Presinusoidal Portal Hypertension

Abstract This study evaluates systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics and the effect of propranolol in 15 patients with presinusoidal portal hypertension (portal vein obstruction, n = 11; schistosomiasis, n = 4). These patients exhibited a hyperkinetic circulatory syndrome characterized by high cardiac index (4.4 +/-[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cardiac Cirrhosis

Hepatocellular carcinoma has been commonly associated with multiple etiologic factors including hepatitis B and C, alcoholic liver disease, and more rarely congenital metabolic liver diseases. 'Cardiac cirrhosis' is the cirrhosis resulting from prolonged passive liver venous congestion secondary to right-sided congestive[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Secondary Biliary Cirrhosis

We report a case of systemic phaeohyphomycosis in a 13-year old girl. The clinical presentation was with fever, weight loss, cholestatic jaundice with hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy. The patient was diagnosed initially as tuberculous adenitis and was on antituberculous therapy, but with worsening[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hepatic Vein Occlusion

BACKGROUND: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) with hepatic vein (HV) occlusion is manifested by severe liver damage in acute cases and esophageal variceal bleeding or refractory ascites in chronic cases, which is difficult to differentiate from cirrhotic portal hypertension. AIMS: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Indian Childhood Cirrhosis

Abstract We previously demonstrated decreased metallothionein (MT) synthesis in cultured fibroblasts obtained from an American boy with findings typical of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (ICC). We now report normal basal, copper-induced, and zinc-induced MT synthesis in the fibroblasts of two Indian boys and one Irish[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Obstetrical Misadventure

Also possible, but as far as I can find still unproven, is that in vivo the umbilical cord surface over the rigid scaffold of the distended circulation can protect the vein [obstetricalpathology.com]

The anatomical structure does suggest that the helical collagen attachment may favor patency of the vein lumen, since after delivery the empty umbilical vein typically has [obstetricalpathology.com]
