Hepatic dysfunction secondary to heart failure

R M Ross

    The American Journal of Gastroenterology
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Severe heart failure can cause liver injury, leading to centrilobular necrosis (CLN). Liver function normalized quickly in patients, even without full cardiac recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Hepatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Heart failure, particularly left ventricular dysfunction, can lead to systemic complications.
    • Hepatocellular injury is a recognized, though less common, manifestation of severe cardiac compromise.

    Observation:

    • Five patients presented with severe hepatocellular injury directly linked to heart failure.
    • All patients exhibited signs of severe left ventricular dysfunction and low cardiac output.
    • Clinical signs of right heart failure were inconsistent across the patient cohort.

    Findings:

    • Liver histology confirmed centrilobular necrosis (CLN) in affected patients.
    • Biochemical liver abnormalities resolved rapidly in all cases.
    • Biochemical normalization occurred independently of the degree of cardiac status improvement.

    Implications:

    • This highlights the critical link between cardiac function and liver health.
    • Early recognition of cardiac-induced liver injury is crucial for timely management.
    • Liver function tests can serve as indicators of cardiac compromise severity.
