In this video I simplify and breakdown one of the most terrifying complication seen in patients with cirrhosis.
Welcome to the 6th episode of THE LIVER DOCTOR'S DIARY - an ongoing series (every week Wednesday) where we discuss interesting, mysterious, nerve-wracking and mind-boggling patient stories from my Department of Hepatology at the Liver Institute, Rajagiri Hospital, Aluva, Kerala (India). In this department, we deal with patient cases, mostly referred, that made other physicians sweat and fail over diagnosis or treatment or both. We diagnose cases no other doctors could and try to aggressively manage patients who were left to die - to fight for their right to life. And in that process, we find ourselves in the story of their lives. Some stories will break your heart, while some will make it race and others, stop it. But every story counts. Every story is a masterclass in medicine, science, life and death.
TheLiverDoc channel aims to provide the latest updates from scientific literature, through simple, easily understandable discussions, regarding general healthcare practices as well as those specifically related to liver disease.
