Chronic passive congestion of liver - what does this mean
Chronic passive congestion of the liver occurs when there is an obstruction to the flow of blood from the portal vein, which carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. this obstruction can be caused by a variety of conditions, including cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis, and portal hypertension. as a result, blood accumulates in the liver, leading to an increase in pressure and a decrease in the oxygen supply to the liver cells, which can cause inflammation and scarring of the liver tissue.
What happens during the disease - chronic passive congestion of liver
Chronic passive congestion of the liver is a condition caused by a disruption in the normal flow of blood through the liver. this disruption can be caused by a variety of factors, including increased pressure in the portal vein, increased pressure in the hepatic veins, and obstruction of the hepatic veins. these factors can lead to an increase in the amount of blood that is not adequately processed by the liver, causing an accumulation of toxins and fluid in the liver. this can lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring of the liver, resulting in impaired liver function.
