Core Tip |
Patients with cirrhosis develop extrahepatic functional disturbances as a multiple organ failure that involves the heart, lungs, kidneys, the immune systems, and other organ systems. Fibrosis of the liver leads to a systemic vasodilatation that affects both the homeostasis of many organ systems. The circulation becomes hyperdynamic, which is often further aggravated by infections. Changes in organ function involve the heart as a cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, the kidneys such as the hepatorenal syndrome and the lungs with development of a hepatopulmonary syndrome. Liver transplantation is often the only radical treatment and as a bridge to this treatment, knowledge on the mechanisms of the pathophysiology of complications is essential. |
