Acute Liver Injury Establishing the Aetiology Blood tests • routine biochemistry ‣hyperacute (high transaminases, lower bilirubin) • paracetamol, ischaemia, hepatitis B ‣subacute (lower transaminases, higher bilirubin) • seronegative hepatitis ‣Wilson’s disease (low alkaline phosphatase) • paracetamol detection • viral serology ‣IgM antibodies to HAV, HBV, HEV • liver immunology ‣autoantibodies, immunoglobulins
Acute Liver Injury Establishing the Aetiology Imaging • ultrasound ‣ liver size and texture ‣ spleen size ‣ ascites ‣ oedematous gall bladder ‣ infiltration • ? CT scan Biopsy • how will the histology influence management? • problems • bleeding • cerebral oedema • misinterpretation of histology (by the pathologist) • clinician over-reliance on histological diagnosis • delays definitive treatment
