[edit] Liver diseases

[edit] Viral hepatitis

Acute hepatitis A
Acute hepatitis B
Acute Hepatitis D -this is actually a superinfection with the delta-agent in a patient already infected with hepatitis B
Acute hepatitis C
Acute hepatitis E
Chronic viral hepatitis
Other viral hepatitis virusses may exist but are not so firmly established as the previous ones: hepatitis G.

[edit] Liver dysfunction in other infectious diseases

Hepatitis:
- cytomegalovirus infection
- herpesviral: herpes simplex infection
Toxoplasmosis
Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis
Portal hypertension in schistosomiasis
Liver disease in syphilis
Epstein-Barr virus infection
yellow fever virus infection
rubella virus infection
leptospirosis
Echinococcosis
Amoebiasis

[edit] Other inflammatory liver diseases

liver abcess
autoimmune hepatitis
phlebitis of the portal vein
granulomatous hepatitis
Hepatic granulomas in:
- berylliosis
- sarcoidosis

[edit] Alcoholic liver disease

This may cause fatty liver, hepatitis, fibrosis and sclerosis leading to cirrhosis and finally hepatic failure.

[edit] Toxic liver disease

This includes mostly drug-induced hepatotoxicity, which may generate many different patterns over liver disease, including

cholestasis
necrosis
acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis of different forms,
cirrhosis
other rare disorders like focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatic granulomas, peliosis hepatis and veno-occlusive disease.

Liver damage is part of Reye's syndrome.

[edit] Liver tumours

Malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile ducts. The most frequent forms are metastatic malignant neoplasm of liver)

liver cell carcinoma
- hepatocellular carcinoma
- hepatoma
cholangiocarcinoma
hepatoblastoma
angiosarcoma of liver
Kupffer cell sarcoma
other sarcomas of liver

Benign neoplasm of liver include hepatic hemangiomas, hepatic adenomas, and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).

[edit] End-stage liver disease

Chronic liver diseases like chronic hepatitis, chronic alcohol abuse or chronic toxic liver disease may cause

hepatic failure and hepatorenal syndrome
fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver

Cirrhosis may also occur in primary biliary cirrhosis. Rarely, cirrhosis is congenital.

[edit] Metabolic diseases

metabolic diseases (chapter E in ICD-10)

[edit] Vascular disorders

chronic passive congestion of liver
central haemorrhagic necrosis of liver
infarction of liver
perliosis hepatis
veno-occlusive disease
portal hypertension
Budd-Chiari syndrome

[edit] Cysts

congenital cystic disease of liver
Cysts caused by Echinococcus

[edit] Others

Amyloid degeneration of liver

[edit] Gallbladder and biliary tract diseases

malignant neoplasm of the gallbladder
malignant neoplasm of other parts of biliary tract
- extrahepatic bile duct
- ampulla of Vater

cholelithiasis
cholecystitis
others (excluding postcholecystectomy syndrome), but including
- other obstructions of the gallbladder (like strictures
- hydrops, perforation, fistula
- cholesterolosis
- biliary dyskinesia
K83: other diseases of the biliary tract:
- cholangitis (including ascending cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis)
- obstruction, perforation, fistula of biliary tract
- spasm of sphincter of Oddi
- biliary cyst
- biliary atresia

[edit] Diagnosis

In hepatology, important signs and symptoms include:

[edit] Treatment

Includes:

motivate patient to stop drinking alcohol
vaccination for hepatitis
eradication of causative pathogens
|liver transplantion
cholecystectomy
