Video Summary
Meena Bansal from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai discusses liver diseases, focusing on outcomes of patients with abnormal liver tests. She explains possible outcomes of acute hepatocellular injury, transition to chronic liver injury, fibrosis assessment methods, and monitoring. Prognostic markers like the King's College Criteria aid in predicting outcomes of acute liver failure, with importance on timely liver transplant evaluation. Chronic liver injury leads to fibrosis progression, with reversible fibrosis possible through disease-specific therapy. The significance of identifying and treating the underlying cause of liver injury is stressed. Complications and staging of cirrhosis, including compensated and decompensated stages, are discussed, along with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The assessment of fibrosis is crucial for tailoring individualized therapy and monitoring disease progression to prevent irreversible cirrhosis.
