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 ...

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...
and Dupuytren's contracture in alcoholic cirrhosis is found to be 72%. Paper-money skin and Dupuytren's contracture are more distinct lesions for alcoholic cirrhosis.53 Recognizing these skin changes contribute to the diagnosis and staging of liver cirrhosis.54 J of Evolution of Med and Dent Sci...
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...
摘要: Hemochromatosis, a remarkable disease from several standpoints, is associated with pigmentary changes of the skin in a high percentage of patients who have the disorder. For many years it was thought that this discoloration was caused by two pigments, hemosiderin and melanin. More关键词:...
8.6 Renal Impairment In subjects with renal impairment (mild, moderate or severe), there were no significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine. Nevirapine is extensively metabolized by the liver and nevirapine metabolites are extensively eliminated by the kidney. Nevirapine metabolites may ...
5.1.3 Liver tissue engineering The liver is one of the most important organs, with a complex structure and a variety of related diseases such as fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure, which are a serious health risk. Liver transplantation is one of the main treatment modalities for chronic live...
Subsequent studies revealed a lower frequency of autoimmune disease (∼ 10–16%) than in this initial trial (∼ 33%), possibly relating to changes in the dose and timing of alemtuzumab administration (Coles et al., 2006). The emergence of a number of other autoantibodies has also ...
