Hepatitis C virus prenatal diagnosis benefits both the mother and the unborn child. Compared to people who contract HCV as adolescents, children who are perinatally infected develop cirrhosis earlier in life. Poor maternal and newborn outcomes are more likely to occur in pregnant women with cirrhosis than in those without it. Most women with hepatitis C who become pregnant have a healthy pregnancy in which the hepatitis C virus (HCV) does not pass to the foetus. Hepatitis C, however, may increase the dangers of pregnancy. There is a 5% possibility that an unborn child will contract HCV from a pregnant woman. Pregnancy difficulties may also be more likely in those with cirrhosis, a condition where the liver has developed scar tissue. HCV , a virus that transmits through direct contact with blood, causes hepatitis C, a liver condition. Those with HCV should take care to prevent transmission because the virus is contagious. Hepatitis C can be acute, which means that it only lasts

Fetor hepaticus , commonly referred to as "breath of the dead," is a disorder where a patient's breath has a sweet-musky, and occasionally faecal, aroma. It is connected to portosystemic shunts and portal hypertension. Fetor Hepaticus: Fetor hepaticus, one of the clinical symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy , is a late indicator of liver failure in which portal hypertension with portosystemic shunting allows thiols to enter directly into the lungs generating a sweet, musty, or even faintly faecal scent of the breath. Ammonia and ketones in the breath are two other potential causes. More than 5.5 million Americans and hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide are affected by chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Dimethyl sulphide and ketones (acetone), to a lesser extent, have been linked to fetor hepaticus, suggesting that there may be an objective, noninvasive way to detect liver failure. In addition, some researchers believe that the volatile dimethyl sulphide

  Chronic liver disease of any origin can cause typical skin findings. Jaundice, spider nevi, leuconychia and finger clubbing are well known features . Palmar erythema, “paper-money” skin, rosacea and rhinophyma are common but often overlooked by the busy practitioner. Liver Pruritus: When an itchy rash causes the patient to feel uncomfortable or a rash on the skin, it causes an itchy sensation that may appear in patches similar to urticaria. Depending on the severity of the disease and the person's location, it will cause different persistent itchiness. This condition is common in exposed skin such as limbs, face and can itch throughout the body in severe cases. Patients often have natural reflexes using broken hands and causing the itchy papules to spread, causing itching and loss of aesthetics on the skin. So, what is the itchy rash? In itchy liver disease is one of the warning signs of liver toxin function is problems. When these toxins remain in the body because they are

  Endoscopic ultrasound -guided fine needle aspiration (EUS FNA) carries a low risk of causing pancreatitis . Those who have sampling done through the pancreatic duct or the normal pancreatic parenchyma, however, may develop pancreatitis more frequently. Here, we identify the elements that raise the risk of acute pancreatitis in individuals with a normal pancreatic parenchyma/pancreatic duct FNA. A minimally invasive method called endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is used to diagnose conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system and other surrounding organs and tissues. An instrument that uses sound waves to create images and a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) placed into the digestive tract are used in endoscopic ultrasonography (ultrasound). The lungs, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, lymph nodes, and other nearby organs and tissues, as well as the digestive tract itself, are all produced in fine detail by the high-frequency sound waves. Each organ throughout the course of the
