Concept
List of hepato-biliary diseases
Summary
Hepato-biliary diseases include liver diseases and biliary diseases. Their study is known as hepatology.
Acute hepatitis A
Acute hepatitis B
Acute hepatitis C
Acute hepatitis D – this is a superinfection with the delta-agent in a patient already infected with hepatitis B
Acute hepatitis E
Chronic viral hepatitis
Other viral hepatitis viruses may exist but their relation to the disease is not firmly established like the previous ones (hepatitis F, GB virus C, hepatitis X)
Hepatitis:
cytomegalovirus infection
herpesviral: herpes simplex infection
Toxoplasmosis
Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis
Portal hypertension in schistosomiasis
Liver disease in syphilis
Epstein–Barr virus infection
yellow fever virus infection
rubella virus infection
leptospirosis
Echinococcosis
Amoebiasis
liver abscess
autoimmune hepatitis
primary biliary cholangitis (primary biliary cirrhosis)
phlebitis of the portal vein
granulomatous hepatitis
berylliosis
sarcoidosis
nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
This may cause fatty liver, hepatitis, fibrosis and sclerosis leading to cirrhosis and finally liver failure.
This includes mostly drug-induced hepatotoxicity, (DILI) which may generate many different patterns over liver disease, including
cholestasis
necrosis
acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis of different forms,
cirrhosis
Effects of Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
other rare disorders like focal nodular hyperplasia, Hepatic fibrosis, peliosis hepatis and veno-occlusive disease.
Liver damage is part of Reye syndrome.
Malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile ducts. The most frequent forms are metastatic malignant neoplasm of liver)
liver cell carcinoma
hepatocellular carcinoma
hepatoma
cholangiocarcinoma
hepatoblastoma
angiosarcoma of liver
Kupffer cell sarcoma
other sarcomas of liver
Benign neoplasm of liver include hepatic hemangiomas, hepatic adenomas, and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).
Chronic liver diseases like chronic hepatitis, chronic alcohol abuse or chronic toxic liver disease may cause
liver failure and hepatorenal syndrome
fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver
Cirrhosis may also occur in primary biliary cirrhosis.
