Explain the management of patients with the hepatic disorder :
1) explain/define the jaundice (Define jaundice.)
=> Jaundice is also called icterus.
=> Jaundice is not a disease but it is seen as a sign of disease after many diseases.
=> Jaundice is a condition in which the skin, mucous membrane, and sclera of the body become yellow in color due to an increase in the amount of bilirubin in the body. It is called jaundice.
=> Jaundice occurs when the amount of bilirubin in the body increases above 2.5 mg/dl. The condition of jaundice is seen.
(Note:=normal bilirubin level is 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dl.)
( In jaundice := level of bilirubin is exced 2.5 mg/dl)
{ direct/unconjugated/fat soluable bilirubin level is 0.1 -0.3 mg/dl.}
{ indirect/conjugated / water soluable billirubin level is 0.2-0.8mg/dl.}
=> Bilirubin is a natural product that is released as a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells and is excreted out of the body by the liver.
=> The condition of jaundice arises when the amount of conjugated bilirubin is not excreted from the body by the liver using the biliary system and the bilirubin accumulates in the body, due to which the condition of jaundice arises.
2)explain the type of jaundice. (Describe the types of jaundice.)
=> Hepatocellular jaundice is called the most common type of jaundice.
=> Hepatocellular jaundice occurs when the liver cells are damaged for any reason, due to which the liver is unable to excrete bilirubin from the body and due to this, bilirubin increases in the blood.
Hepatocellular jaundice is mainly
Liver failure,
Liver disease,
Liver cancer,
Hepatitis,
Viruses such as,
Yellow fever,
Epstein Barr virus, caused by certain types of drugs.
4)Hereditary jaundice (Hereditary jaundice)
=> Hereditary jaundice is mainly seen in any person from his family in a hereditary way.
=> Hereditary jaundice is mainly due to impairment in bilirubin metabolism from birth itself, which causes excessive accumulation of bilirubin in the body.
=> It mainly occurs when excessive production of bilirubin or It occurs due to the body not being able to excrete it.
1) Dubin/Johnson syndrome
=> This is an inherited disorder.
=> In this jaundice, the level of conjugated bilirubin increases in the liver.
2)Gilbert’s syndrome

=> Due to the destruction of red blood cells,
=> Conditions in which red blood cells break down such as:= •Malaria, •Sickle cell anemia, •Thalassemia, •Glucose 6 phosphate, •Drugs and other toxins, •Autoimmune disorders.
2)hepatic ( the problem arising in the liver)
=> Hepatic jaundice is mainly seen when there is an inability of the liver to produce the condition of jaundice.
=> Due to hepatitis (alcoholic or viral), => Cirrhosis of the liver, => Due to certain types of drugs, => Gilbert’s syndrome, => Cancer
3)post -hepatic jaundice ( after bile has been made in the liver)

=> Liver is distorted, hardened and lumpy.
2) Explain the classification of hepatic cirrhosis. (Describe the classification of hepatic cirrhosis.
=> Hypertension or high blood pressure is a disease in which the pressure of the blood against the wall of the vessels increases.
=> The condition when blood pressure increases in the portal veins and their branches is called portal hypertension.
=> •••{ About the portal vein := Portal veins are large blood vessels that transmit blood from the abdominal organs (digestive system) to the liver. }•••
=> Portal hypertension is mainly seen due to liver cirrhosis or any other liver disease condition.
=> In portal hypertension, the portal pressure gradient is greater than 12 mmHg (portal pressure gradient:= the difference between the pressure in the portal vein and the hepatic vein.).
=> Portal hypertension causes conditions such as esophageal varices and ascites.
••{ meaning of varices := Varicose veins are a condition that occurs due to portal hypertension in which the veins in the lower part of the esophagus become enlarged and swollen. }•••.
=> •••{ Acities ( Ascites:= . Ascites is mainly seen due to portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis in which fluid collects in the abdominal area causing the abdominal area to become swollen and enlarged. )}•••.
2)explain the Etiology/cause of portal hypertension. Explain the etiology/cause of portal hypertension
prehepatic cause:=
1) thrombosis of the portal vein
=> The condition of portal hypertension is caused by blood clots in the portal vein, which obstructs blood flow.
2) Thrombosis of the splenic vein (Thrombosis of the splenic vein.
=> Obstruction is seen due to blood clot in the splenic vein, due to which the condition of portal hypertension is seen.
3) Congenital atresia or stenosis

5) Atriovenous fistula
=> Due to abnormal connection between the artery and vein.
6) Compression by tumor
=> Due to the formation of abnormal tumors, pressure increases on body parts, which also causes the condition of portal hypertension.
hepatic cause (Hepatic cause)
1)Liver cirrhosis (Liver cirrhosis)
=> In the condition of liver cirrhosis, fibrous scar tissues are formed in place of normal tissues of the liver, due to which blood flow is impaired and the condition of portal hypertension is seen.
2) Schistosomiasis
=> Schistosomiasis is a type of parasitic infection. This disease mainly converts the tissues of the liver into fibrous and scar tissues, due to which blood flow impairment is observed and a condition of portal hypertension occurs.
=> In this, the hepatic vein is occluded, due to which blood flow impairment occurs and the condition of portal hypertension is seen.
2) Congestive cardiac failure
=> Due to heart failure, pressure is seen in the hepatic vein. Due to this, the condition of portal hypertension is seen.
3) Constrictive pericarditis
=> Due to thickening and hardening of the pericardium layer of the heart, the heart cannot function properly, resulting in blood flow impairment.
4) Right side heart failure

=> The pancreas plays an important role in digestion, so now, due to pancreatic disease, instead of taking large amounts of food three times a day, the patient should be asked to take small but frequent amounts of food.
Tell the patient to avoid fatty foods.
4)control pain of the patient:=
Patient’s pain level is in different amounts, if the patient is experiencing mild level of pain then paracetamol should be provided and if the patient is experiencing severe pain then drugs like morphine should also be provided.
=> Due to the disease condition of the pancreas, the pancreas cannot release the enzyme, so the patient should be provided with insulin as a replacement.
surgical management
1)endoscopy surgery:=
=> In this surgery, a narrow, hollow flexible tube is inserted into the digestive system under ultrasound guidance.
=>This device has a small deflated balloon at the tip of an endoscope.
=> When the balloon reaches the duct, it is inflated, widening the duct.
=> Then a stent is placed in it so that the duct does not narrow again.
2)Pancreas Resection:
=> In this procedure, the head of the pancreas is surgically removed.
=> This procedure not only reduces pain but also reduces the pressure on the duct.
#beger procedure
=> In this procedure, the inflamed head of the pancreas is resected.
#Frey procedures
=> The Frey procedure is mainly performed when it is determined that the pain is caused by inflammation of the head of the pancreas as well as blockage of the duct.
=> In this procedure, the head of the pancreas is surgically removed and the duct is decompressed and connected directly to the intestine.
=> In this procedure, the gallbladder, duct, and head of the pancreas are surgically removed.
=> This is mainly done when there is severe chronic pain, in which the head of the inflamed pancreas and the blocked duct are removed.
=> This procedure is a very effective procedure for reducing pain.
=> But this procedure increases the chances of infection and internal bleeding.
3) Pancreatectomy
#partial pancreactomy
=> In partial pancreatectomy, some body parts of the pancreas are removed, mainly the pancreas body and tail.
#total pancreactomy (Total Pancreatectomy)
=> In total pancreatectomy, the entire pancreas is removed, so the patient has to rely on continuous medical treatment to perform some of the body’s vital functions of the pancreas.
