,Chapter 49: Assessment and Management of Patients with Hepatic Disorders
OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the metabolic functions of the liver and the alterations that occur with hepatic disorders.
2. Explain liver function tests and the clinical manifestations of liver dysfunction in relation to pathophysiologic
alterations of the liver.
3. Relate jaundice, portal hypertension, ascites, varices, nutritional deficiencies, and hepatic encephalopathy
and coma to pathophysiologic alterations of the liver.
4. Describe the medical, surgical, and nursing management of patients with esophageal varices.
5. Compare the various types of hepatitis and their causes, prevention, clinical manifestations, management,
prognosis, and home health care needs.
6. Use the nursing process as a framework for care of the patient with cirrhosis of the liver.
7. Differentiate between the nonsurgical and surgical management of patients with cancer of the liver.
8. Specify the postoperative nursing care of the patient undergoing liver transplantation.
GLOSSARY:
ascites: an albumin-rich fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity asterixis:
involuntary flapping movements of the hands
cirrhosis: a chronic liver disease characterized by fibrotic changes, the formation of dense connective tissue within
the liver, subsequent degenerative changes, and loss of functioning cells
constructional apraxia: inability to draw figures in two or three dimensions
endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL): procedure that uses a modified endoscope loaded with an elastic rubber band
passed through an overtube directly onto the varix (or varices) to be banded to ligate the area and stop
bleeding
fetor hepaticus: sweet, slightly fecal odor to the breath, presumed to be of intestinal origin; prevalent with the
extensive collateral portal circulation in chronic liver disease
fulminant hepatic failure: sudden, severe onset of acute liver failure that occurs within 8 weeks after the first
symptoms of jaundice
hepatic encephalopathy: central nervous system dysfunction frequently associated with elevated ammonia levels
that produce changes in mental status, altered level of consciousness, and coma
jaundice: condition where the body tissues, including the sclerae and the skin, become tinged yellow or greenish-
yellow, due to high bilirubin levels
orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT): grafting of a donor liver into the normal anatomic location, with removal of
the diseased native liver
portal hypertension: elevated pressure in the portal circulation resulting from obstruction of venous flow into and
through the liver
sclerotherapy: the injection of substances into or around esophagogastric varices to cause constriction,
thickening, and hardening of the vessel and stop bleeding xenograft: transplantation of organs from one species
to another

laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy.
