So the patient had both complications of portal hypertension. Varices and ascites. Interesting.. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:42
Someone cracked a lupus joke the other day and it was an actual complication. hehe -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:17 7
- that was really interesting about the ascites. didn't know that could happen. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:19 6
  - Granted this was only like my second or third cirrhosis patient but I was pretty surprised too. There is also major itching from cirrhosis. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:20 5
    - that sounds familiar. do you know what causes the itching? toxins? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:21 4
      - My notes say bile acids (I believe there is bilirubin breakdown. Hence, the patient will so turn yellow. I saw one of those). - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:24 3
