Cirrhosis and multiple organ damage

Abstract

Chronic and progressive cirrhosis of the liver, which can have many different causes, is distinguished by excessive fibrosis of liver tissue and changes in lobular architecture. Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction are linked in a negative feedback loop that develops as cirrhosis worsens, eventually resulting in cell damage and hepatocellular death. The term "multi-organ dysfunction syndrome in cirrhosis" (MODS) was created as evidence for the involvement of organs other than the liver in cirrhotic patients. Due to the dysfunctional release of inflammatory, endothelial, and coagulation mediators by the liver, bacterial translocation, and the immune response, this syndrome involves a number of changes in systems, including the renal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and brain systems, among others. others. The morbidity and mortality of patients with cirrhosis are significantly affected by multi-organ dysfunction, which also affects quality of life, complicates liver transplant evaluation, increases the risk of surgery, and increases surgical risk. The clinical management and quality of life of people with cirrhosis will improve with a deeper understanding of the interactions between the various organs and systems.
