Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Chronic liver disease (Cirrhosis) is a progressive disease, develops slowly over many years. If it is untreated and allowed to continue, results in scar tissue formation and finally stoppage of liver function. When healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, blocking the flow of blood through the liver and the condition becomes serious. The common and serious problem that the patients with the chronic liver disease is Renal dysfunction. Patients with chronic liver disease are more prone to kidney disease than the normal individuals. Chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, is characterized by functional renal disturbance without much changes in renal histology. Cirrhosis was generally thought to be irreversible but recent studies have shown that treatments aimed at the underlying cause of the disease can improve or even reverse fibrosis. So care should be taken for the identification of renal dysfunction in chronic liver disease or liver cirrhosis patients. Hence; the present study was done to assess the relation of renal profile with the liver cirrhosis patients. Material and methods: The present study included evaluation of liver cirrhosis patients and finding of correlation of severity of disease with the renal profile. A total of 50 liver cirrhosis patients were included in the present study. Demographic and clinical details of all the patients were obtained. Physical examination was done to look for any evidence of cardiac or renal involvement in each and every patient. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: A total of 50 liver cirrhosis patients were included in the present study. Out of 50, 40 male patients, 10 female patients. Alcohol was the most common cause the other causes include liver infection, immune system abnormality, genetic etc.
