42. Cirrhosis Explains liver functions, what causes this condition, how it progresses, and symptoms and treatment of specific complications. http://www.gicare.com/pated/ecdlv14.htm

Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Cirrhosis The liver is a large organ that sits in the right upper abdomen, just under the right lung. It is one of the body's most "intelligent" organs in that it performs so many different functions at the same time. The liver makes proteins, eliminates waste material from the body, produces cholesterol, stores and releases glucose energy and metabolizes many drugs used in medicine. It also produces bile that flows through bile ducts into the intestine where it helps to digest food. This remarkable organ also has the ability to regenerate itself if it is injured or partially removed. The liver receives blood from two different sources the heart and the intestine. All of this blood flows through the liver and returns to the heart. It is no wonder that the ancient Chinese viewed the liver, not the heart, as the center of the body. What Is Cirrhosis? Many types of chronic injury to the liver can result in scar tissue. This scarring distorts the normal structure and regrowth of liver cells. The flow of blood through the liver from the intestine is blocked and the work done by the liver, such as processing drugs or producing proteins, is hindered. What Causes Cirrhosis?

43. Liver Transplant Overview of reasons for transplant, evaluation, and transplant centers. Includes information about surgery, recovery, and organ donation. http://www.gicare.com/pated/epdlv44.htm

Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Liver Transplant The liver is the largest organ in the body. It is found high in the right upper abdomen, behind the ribs. It is a very complex organ and has many functions. They include: Storing energy in the form of sugar (glucose) Storing vitamins, iron, and other minerals Making proteins, including blood clotting factors, to keep the body healthy and help it grow Processing worn out red blood cells Making bile which is needed for food digestion Metabolizing or breaking down many medications and alcohol Killing germs that enter the body through the intestine The liver also has a remarkable power to regenerate itself. However, there are illnesses that can cause permanent and irreversible damage to the liver. Liver transplantation has become a standard treatment for a patient whose liver no longer functions well enough to maintain life. This revolutionary treatment has moved from research and the first actual transplant in the 1960s, to a standard form of therapy in the 1990s. There are two main reasons why liver transplants have become so successful. There have been major advances in surgical techniques, and new drugs are now available to prevent rejection of the new liver. Reasons for Liver Transplantation Medical treatment for liver diseases and liver damage is always the first choice of therapy. The only reason to perform a liver transplant is that all other forms of treatment have been unsuccessful, and the patient's liver can no longer support life. This is called end stage liver disease. There have been over 60 different liver diseases treated with liver transplantation. However, there are several conditions that are more commonly treated with this procedure. They are frequently conditions that cause chronic or continuing liver inflammation. As the inflammation heals, fibrous tissue forms, much like a scar forms when a cut in the skin heals. Severe and advanced scarring of the liver is called cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is not reversible and leads to end stage liver disease. The following conditions are the most common causes of end stage liver disease:
