Liver Congestive

Congestive liver (lat. Hepatum congestivum) is a very rare disease that occurs due to a violation of the outflow of blood in the hepatic artery and associated with difficulty in the normal outflow of bile through the ducts into the gallbladder. The term "congestive liver" or "nutmeg liver" falls under the term "acute/chronic hepatic venous insufficiency". Hemodynamic abnormalities in venous insufficiency lead to stagnation of venous blood in the underlying veins of the esophagus and stomach. The causes may be cirrhosis of the liver or chronic hepatitis, which is accompanied by the destruction of liver cells and degeneration of veins. In the second case, the hemodynamic disorder is associated with insufficient outflow of bile due to obstruction of the bile ducts due to a large stone in the bile duct.

Symptoms of congestion in the hepatic ducts are usually pronounced, depending on the speed of the disease. Symptoms of chronic venous liver failure: - nausea and vomiting; - minor pain in the right side with intermittent attacks of severe dull pain; - an increase in the volume of the abdomen towards the bottom due to dilation of blood vessels and stretching of the lower segment of the esophagus. Symptoms common to the disease include: yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes, abnormal stool, flatulence, yellowing of urine, increased temperature. The danger of this disease is that it can pose a threat to the patient’s life, and if it develops, treatment in a hospital is required.

Pinching of the hepatic efferent vessels can only be treated conservatively. You should immediately contact a medical facility for
