Alcoholic cirrhosis is charactered by the replacement of the destroyed liver cells with the scar tissue (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1167). The increased liver scar tissue result in the failure of liver function to synthesis protein, clotting factors, the substances and manifestation of portal hypertension (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1168). In liver cirrhosis, the live tend to be large and its cells loaded with fat, that it causes the liver become firm and sharp edge noticeable on palpation (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1168). Moreover, as the rapid enlargement of the liver, the tension on the fibrous covering of the live is produced and may causes the abdominal pain (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1167). The late manifestation are due partly to chronic failure of liver function is the obstruction of the portal circulation as the blood cannot passage through the liver and back up into the spleen and Gastrointestinal (GI) tract (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1168). Therefore, the GI tract cannot function properly which result into the decreasing ability of indigestion and altered bowel function (Farrell & Dempsey, 2009, p.1168). Fluid rich in protein may be moved from the vascular system to the peritoneal cavity and…

* ALT 120 IU/L * ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), if elevated can also be an indication of liver damage. ALT is an enzyme that is normally in the liver and kidneys. If the individual is healthy, the ALT is low, between 7-56 IU/L. Elevated ALT is an early indicator of liver damage usually elevating prior to a patient becoming jaundice (Hepatitis B, 2011).…
Diabetic Retinopathy, which is loss of vision and blindness, happens when tiny blood vessels grow in the eye, and the high concentration of glucose in fluid that are around the eye makes them fragile. Tiny bulges can be developed in the retina and it can develop in other areas in the eye, and if they start to leak or burst, the fluid and blood can spread throughout the eye. After it starts spreading, blood clot and scar tissue can start to form in front of the retina, which prevents light from hitting the retina, causing blindness. If the fluid is released it can cause swelling which leads to blurred vision. There is no treatment when this occurs ,but the prevention of the build up of glucose surrounding the blood vessels in the eye and the…

The terminally ill have many options. They have the Right to Try, which means the patients get the chance to try drugs not passed by federal testing. They also have the option of palliative care. Palliative care is patient and family centered care that focuses on easing suffering. Hospice is the palliative care given near the end of life. If their condition is very poor, they could choose acute medical care, which is palliative care in an acute setting. With acute care comes long term care. Palliative care is usually given in a long term care facility like a nursing home (Assisted Suicide Debate). Palliative sedation provides medications to keep the terminally ill unconscious and free of pain. The nutrition is stopped and the patient normally dies…
