'I was told I could die in hospital'- liver disease sufferer warns of killer condition
LIVER DISEASE can be caused by a number of things. Chronic alcohol consumption, fat accumulation in the liver or infection such as hepatitis A,B or C are just a few. The liver is an organ around the size of an American football and is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances. Once badly damaged, liver disease can lead to scarring known as cirrhosis which in turn can lead to the liver not being able to function properly. (Source: Daily Express - Health)

Extremity risk factors of sepsis for gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Background: Liver cirrhosis is a well-known risk factor of sepsis after emergent gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Elective GI endoscopy before living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), however, may also carry the septic risk among these patients.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 642 cirrhotic recipients who underwent GI endoscopy from 2008 to 2016. We analyzed the incidence and risk factors of post-endoscopy sepsis during 2008-2012 (experience cohort). Our protocol changed after 2013 (validation cohort) to include antibiotic prophylaxis.
Results: In experience cohort, 36 cases (10.5%) of...

Study finds that patients with alcohol-associated cirrhosis have worse outcomes in recovering from critical illness, compared with other cirrhosis patients

Synthetic Alcohol Promises to Make Drinking Safer. But Experts Are Wary
Our ancestors started drinking booze millions of years ago, and we never stopped. Alcohol is embedded in nearly every culture in the world as a social lubricant, marker of taste and cornerstone of celebrations.
If companies tried to bring it to market for the first time today, however, U.S. regulators would almost certainly forbid it.
