Hepatic ischemia

Alternative Names:

Ischemic hepatitis; Shock liver
Treatment:

Treatment depends on the cause of the low blood pressure, which must be addressed to keep the liver's blood supply stable.


Expectations (prognosis):

Patients generally recover if the underlying illness can be treated. Death from liver failure as a result of hepatic ischemia is very rare.


Complications:

Liver failure is a possible but rare complication that can lead to death.


Calling your health care provider:

See your health care provider urgently if you have persistent weakness or signs of shock or dehydration.
