Laennec's Liver Cirrhosis

Laennecken liver cirrhosis is a rare pathology. Its cause is considered to be alcohol etiology, against the background of which chronic viral hepatitis develops, followed by the “launch” of the cirrhotic process and portal vein thrombosis.

In approximately 2% of cases of liver cirrhosis, the cause is hepatitis C. The main function of the liver is to remove harmful substances from the blood. With its pathology, multiple disturbances of both central and peripheral hemodynamics occur. Veins are also included in the pathological process. Thrombosis occurs with venous insufficiency. It is characterized by the appearance of nodes in the portal vein. The decrease in hepatic blood flow in liver cirrhosis progresses relatively slowly. The nitrogen excretion function of the liver gradually deteriorates. Against this background, bilirubin intoxication develops. The portal vein acts as an intermediary for the removal of bile and neutralization of harmful substances that affect systemic blood flow.

Laennecian liver cirrhosis is a form of liver cirrhosis that is characterized by the destruction of liver cells and the formation of scar tissue. It can be caused by various reasons, including viral infections, alcoholism, excess weight and other factors. Symptoms of Laennec liver cirrhosis may include fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, jaundice and other symptoms. Treatment for this form of cirrhosis includes lifestyle changes, drug therapy, and sometimes a liver transplant. It is important to remember that cirrhosis of the liver can be a life-threatening disease, so it is important to see a doctor at the first sign of illness.
