Liver cirrhosis can cause different semiological signs. Palmar erythema, vascular spiders, arteriovenous (facial) hemangioma, colateral circulation (medusa head pattern), flushing, plethoric facies, angioendotheliomatosis, pruritus, nail changes, hair loss, thinning of body hair, vasculitis, urticarial...
BACKGROUND: The high level of susceptibility of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) to septicemic infection is thought to be due to decreased reticuloendothelial function and irnpairment of several components of cell mediated and humoral immunity. It is well known that LC may cause many ...
Changes in Blood Coagulation: Before and After Hepatectomy or Transplantation in Dogs and Man CommentPathologically increased fibrinolytic activity has been demonstrated in a variety of clinical and experimental states 14 including thoracic and hepatic surgery,* cirrhosis of the liver, shock from various ...
Cutaneous changes occur in deficiency states of many nutritional elements; ascorbic acid, retinol, protein-energy, cyanocobalamin, phytonadione (vitamin K), biotin, ribroflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, essential fatty acids, and zinc. There are also inherited disorders of copper, bi-otin, zinc, and tr...
The Tisza River section was differentiated by a high intensity of histopathological changes in liver and skin as well as by high concentrations of Zn in intestine and Mn in the liver.Fig. 4. Results of canonical discriminant analysis applied to the three studied localities (ellipses show 95% ...
Fibrosis itself causes no symptoms, and it can be difficult to diagnose as imaging tests often fail to detect any changes until the scarring is extensive. The only indication at this stage may be abnormalities in blood tests used to evaluate liver function.2 Cirrhosis As scar tissues increas...
Liver conditions including cirrhosis, cholestasis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and drug-induced liver damage often cause pruritus. This type of itch usually gets worse at night. It can also be exacerbated by heat, hormonal changes, or contact with wool. Kidney failure can also be an underl...
it is poorly understood how triggering of the same receptor with ligands of different affinity can induce these different outcomes. Since it is known that thymocytes which cannot fulfill their energy demands undergo apoptosis [3] we hypothesized that changes in the metabolic profiles in activated T ...
Hepatitis C is an important and common cause of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Cutaneous manifestations are often the first signs of infection. Dermatologists must be aware of these manifestations, because early diagnosis is the best treatment. HCV Ab by ELISA should be ordered in patients with ...
Inflammation early in life can prime the local immune milieu of peripheral tissues, which can cause lasting changes in immunological tone that confer disease protection or susceptibility1. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that prompt changes in immune tone in many nonlymphoid tissues remain largely...
