[Ischemic hepatitis. Clinico-pathological presentation of 2 cases]
Congestive heart failure can lead to ischemic hepatitis, a condition also known as shock liver. This occurs due to liver perfusion failure, causing elevated liver enzymes and centrizonal necrosis.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Cardiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a complex cardiovascular condition.
- Viral hepatitis is a common differential diagnosis for elevated liver enzymes.
Observation:
- Two female patients with CHF presented with elevated cytolytic hepatic enzymes.
- Clinical presentation suggested viral hepatitis.
Findings:
- Autopsy revealed extensive ischemic centrizonal necrosis (shock liver) in both patients.
- This pathology indicated liver perfusion failure as the cause.
Implications:
- Ischemic hepatitis should be considered in patients with CHF and elevated transaminases.
- Understanding shock liver is crucial for managing critical care patients.
