Pica Pseudocirrhosis of the Liver

Pick's Liver Cirrhosis Pseudo-cirrhosis of the Liver Pick's Pseudo-Cirrhosis of the Liver is a rare liver disease in which patients experience symptoms in the form of pain and other liver dysfunction. This rare disease is named after the Czech doctor F. Pick.

F. Pick was a pediatrician who worked between 1887 and 1915. He collaborated with practicing pediatrician Alexander Yuzer and other doctors. He also attracted a lot of attention to childhood diseases. Peake studied physiological processes in the body, as well as the fields of pharmacology, neurology and psychiatry of children. He was interested not only in the treatment of diseases in children, but also in establishing the diagnosis, causes and symptoms of diseases. Today, as we look at the peak of pseudocirrhosis, it has a lot of new data in the medical field. Although Peake believed that the causes and symptoms of the disease were quite clear, there were several contradictions in his theory. Yet Peake's theory is based on extensive knowledge of how the body

The liver is one of the most important organs of our body. It has many functions, including clearing toxins and nutrients from the blood, producing bile, and regulating blood pressure. However, like any other organ, the liver can be subject to diseases and pathologies. One of these pathologies is pseudocirrhosis of the liver.

Pseudocirrhosis of the Liver (f. Pick, 1857-1826) is a Czech doctor who first described this disease. Currently, the term “pica pseudocirrhosis of the liver” is used to designate a specific syndrome in which a characteristic clinical picture is observed, combining signs of obstructive jaundice and cardiac syndrome.

Peak syndrome occurs mainly in men over 40 years of age who abuse alcohol. The symptoms of this syndrome can be very dangerous, and the course of the disease is aggressive. The main symptom is a prolonged (more than six months) icteric symptom with persistence of hyperbilirubinemia, bradycardia (as far as is known, at the moment this syndrome is not considered or used by any doctor in the world.). A characteristic symptom of the disease is prolonged jaundice in the absence of signs of a tumor process in the liver using all known research methods. Diagnosing this syndrome is difficult, but possible. Instrumental techniques such as EFGS, ultrasound and MRI, used today, do not confirm the presence of liver tumors, so their effectiveness is minimal. It is extremely important that treatment for the syndrome is prescribed as early as possible and takes place in a hospital setting by an experienced gastroenterologist surgeon. At the present stage, the history of the development of therapy for the syndrome remains poorly documented.
