Diseases of the liver and biliary tract

Fulminant (malignant) hepatitis

Fulminant hepatitis is a special clinical form of acute hepatitis, resulting from submissive or massive liver necrosis caused by an etiological agent and characterized by a complex of clinical and biochemical symptoms of progressive hepatic insufficiency.

Hepatitis caused by herpes simplex viruses

The pathogenesis of HSV-hepatitis has not been studied to date in immunocompromised or immunocompetent patients. There is reason to believe that in a number of cases reactivation of latent HSV infection occurs against the background of cytostatic therapy.

Varicella-Zoster Hepatitis

The pathogenesis of VZV-hepatitis has not been studied. For the first time the idea of hepatitis of the herpesvirus type 3 virus originated in the development of a live vaccine against varicella, when it was convincingly shown that he had a marked tropism for hepatocytes.

Hepatitis caused by human herpes virus types 6 and 7

Possible development of acute cholestatic febrile HHV 6-hepatitis in organ transplant patients. HHV 6-infection can cause transplant rejection in patients who underwent liver transplantation.

Epstein-Barr virus viral hepatitis

Epstein-Barr virus viral hepatitis is a term that implies not involving the liver in the pathological process in general, as, for example, in infectious mononucleosis, but an independent form of Epstein-Barr virus infection, in which liver damage appeared in isolation and was not accompanied by a clinical picture of infectious mononucleosis.

Cytomegalovirus hepatitis

Cytomegalovirus hepatitis is an independent form of CMV infection, in which liver damage occurs in isolation if cytomegalovirus has tropism not to the epithelium of the bile ducts, but directly to the hepatocytes.

Acute liver failure in children

Acute liver failure (ARF) is a rapidly developing disorder of the synthetic function of the liver, characterized by pronounced coagulopathy and hepatic encephalopathy.

Hepatic coma

The hepatic coma is the most severe condition diagnosed in hepatic encephalopathy (PE). PE is understood as the whole spectrum of neuropsychic disorders developing in hepatic-cell insufficiency or portosystemic shunting of blood.

Acute liver failure

Acute liver failure is of two types - large and small. The treatment of this disease is complex and long-term, involves the use of an etiological and pathogenetic approach.

Liver cyst

The liver cyst is considered a benign disease of the body, which is rightfully called the "protector" of the human body. The influence of the liver on normal human activity is invaluable, and lesions, such as hepatosis, adenoma, cirrhosis or cyst of the liver, can lead to serious consequences
