- Acute hepatic necrosis. Drug induced liver injury can resemble an acute ischemic or toxic injury to the liver with rapid onset of hepatocellular injury and marked elevations in serum ALT and just as rapid decline once the agent is stopped.rug induced liver injury can resemble acute viral hepatitis with prominence of hepatocellular injury and marked elevations in serum ALT. Symptoms may also be identical those of viral hepatitis, with a prodomal period of fatigue, nausea and poor appetite followed by abdominal discomfort, dark urine and jaundice.

Pretranslational modulation of acute phase hepatic protein synthesis by murine recombinant interleukin 1 (IL-1) and purified human IL-1. Pretranslational modulation of acute phase hepatic protein synthesis by murine recombinant interleukin 1 (IL-1) and purified human IL-1. Ramadori G, Sipe JD, Dinarello CA, Mizel SB, Colten HR. During the acute phase response to tissue injury or inflammation, the concentration of several plasma proteins change. Previous work (29-34) suggested a role for interleukin 1 (IL-1) in the acute phase response.

- If you have forms of hepatitis that are usually chronic (hepatitis B and C), you may not have symptoms in the beginning. Symptoms may not occur until liver damage occurs. Signs and symptoms of acute hepatitis appear quickly. They include: 1  fatigue. 2  flu-like symptoms. 3  dark urine. 4  pale stool. 5  abdominal pain. 6  loss of appetite.

- Clinically, toxic hepatitis can resemble any form of acute or chronic liver disease, such as viral hepatitis or bile-duct obstruction. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, jaundice as well as abnormal liver blood tests and liver biopsy findings are often identical to viral hepatitis.

MODULE 2 - Diseases and Malfunctions MODULE 2 - Diseases and Malfunctions. MINICOURSE 4 - THE ACUTE ABDOMEN INTRODUCTION. There are few situations in clinical medicine which demand prompt and decisive action as frequently as does acute abdominal pain. Acute conditions of the abdomen are produced by inflammatory, obstructive, or vascular. mechanisms and are manifested by sudden onset of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal symptoms and varying degrees of local and systemic reaction. They require urgent treatment, often including emergency operation.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) and Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) and Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) NOTE: This is the Professional Version. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) are acute, fulminant disorders characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Other manifestations may include alterations in level of consciousness and kidney failure.

Acute liver failure (Redirected from Fulminant hepatic failure) Acute liver failure is the appearance of severe complications rapidly after the first signs of liver disease (such as jaundice), and indicates that the liver has sustained severe damage (loss of function of 80–90% of liver cells).

- BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular ballooning is a key finding in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is conventionally defined by hemotoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showing enlarged cells with rarefied cytoplasm and recently by changes in the cytoskeleton.ONCLUSIONS: These results indicate a relationship between cellular ballooning, fat droplet accumulation, and cytoskeletal injury in NASH. We speculate that injury to multiple, organelles including fat droplets and endoplasmic reticulum, contribute to this characteristic finding.

Liver Transplant Status 1 (acute severe disease) is defined as a patient with only recent development of liver disease who is in the intensive care unit of the hospital with a life expectancy without a liver transplant of fewer than 7 days, or someone who received a liver transplant and the donor organ never worked properly.

The bleeding manifestations of ITP are highly heterogeneous; however, patients usually experience mild mucocutaneous hemorrhage (severe hemorrhage is uncommon when the platelet count is > 30 × 109/L).

- Henoch-Schönlein purpura is an acute, systemic, immune complex-mediated, leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It is characterized by a clinical triad of palpable purpura (without thrombocytopenia), abdominal pain, and arthritis. Glomerulonephritis and gastrointestinal bleeding are common complications.

- The key histological features of NASH accepted by most pathologists include steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning and lobular inflammation, whereas, like in other chronic liver diseases, the presence of fibrosis is not considered a requirement for the diagnosis.he rearrangement of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton can be demonstrated by the loss of keratin 8/18 immunostaining of the cytoplasm, and may thus be evaluated in the future as a marker for the more objective detection of hepatocellular ballooning in NASH.

CT of Acute Bowel Ischemia Acute bowel ischemia may involve the small or large bowel, be segmental or diffuse, and be only partial mural (meaning that it involves only the mucosa and submucosa, with or without parts of the muscularis) or transmural (meaning that it leads to continuous necrosis of all bowel wall layers [ie, infarction]).
