Infectious Diseases in End-Stage Liver Disease Patients
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2010Patients with chronic liver diseases sustain impairment to immune systems, which worsens over time. These defects in their host defense lead to risks of bacterial infections and increased morbidity. Providers should have heightened surveillance for infectious diseases and suspect one with any acute change in status.

Mortality in patients with end‐stage liver disease above model for end‐stage liver disease 3.0 of 40
Hepatology, 2023Background and Aims: Since the implementation of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score to determine waitlist priority for liver transplant (LT) in 2002, the score has been capped at 40. Recently, the MELD 3.0 score was proposed to improve upon MELD‐Na. Here, we examine waitlist mortality and LT outcomes in patients

Infections in Patients With End-stage Liver Disease
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2007Infections in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Abnormalities in their natural defense mechanisms, alterations in the enteric flora and the growing utilization of invasive procedures increase the risk of infections in these patients.

Management of End-stage Liver Disease
Medical Clinics of North America, 2014Patients with cirrhosis who experience hepatic decompensation, such as the development of ascites, SBP, variceal hemorrhage, or hepatic encephalopathy, or who develop HCC, are at a higher risk of mortality. Management should be focused on the prevention of recurrence of complications, and these patients should be referred for consideration of liver ...

End‐stage renal disease in liver transplants
Clinical Transplantation, 2001Renal dysfunction is one of the most significant problems following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). Since the major risk factor for delayed renal dysfunction following OLTx is presumed to be cyclosporine (CsA) nephrotoxicity, it has been suggested that CsA is the most probably cause of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) in this population of ...

Glomerulonephritis with end-stage liver disease in childhood
The Lancet, 1992Renal biopsies were done perioperatively in 18 children receiving liver grafts. All specimens showed glomerulonephritis, which was mesangial-proliferative in 15 and mesangio-capillary in 3. Of the 16 children who were alive four or more months after transplantation, only 1 showed progressive deterioration of renal function; 1 other had a subnormal but ...

Paediatrics and Child Health, 2013
Abstract Around 1200 children in the UK are under surveillance after liver transplantation for end stage liver disease (ESLD) and about 600 additional children have ESLD, but are not yet in need of transplantation. ESLD occurs in the context of extensive structural liver damage in which blood flow through the sinusoids, and the production and ...

Nutrition Support in End-Stage Liver Disease
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2010Protein-calorie malnutrition is common in end-stage liver disease, irrespective of cause, and adversely affects clinical outcomes. Early diagnosis is important to allow appropriate intervention to prevent malnutrition-associated complications. Correction of nutrient deficiencies through oral supplementation, enteral tube feeding, or parenteral feeding ...
