Talk:Congestive hepatopathy

The
The Treatment section seems to be written from a distinctly homeopathic or western herbalistic perspective rather than a mainstream medical approach. I believe it is fine to do so but it should should be identified as such.

As well, isn't the notion of a "nutmeg liver" confined to the realm of post-mortem pathology? In other words, since "nutmeg liver" is secondary to heart failure it is unlikely that the treating physician would be focussed on it. Rather they would be trying to manage the heart failure that caused it.

Nutmeg liver is purely of pathological interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.151.146 (talk) 18:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Nutmeg liver is a gross pathology descriptor for congestive hepatopathy, which is what I renamed the article. Cardiac cirrhosis is a fashionable term that is widely used and a descriptor for the (end-stage) fibrosis associated with the process. Technically speaking, cirrhosis is not correctly used in the term cardiac cirrhosis. Nephron  T|C 03:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Picture?
Can someone provide a picture...this article begs to have one. -- Bubbachuck (talk) 16:42, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

my father has cor pulmonale, secondary to cirrhosis. as of tonight, he was admitted to brigham womens in boston for an experimental drug study on pulmonary hypertension. although he has multi system failure, i hope the risks and pain he will undergo will be a worthwhile contribution to medicine.

Gastrointestinal catarrh
What exactly does "gastrointestinal catarrh" mean in the Symptoms section? The Catarrh article primarily describes upper respiratory symptoms and does not mention "gastrointestinal" and/or trivial synonyms of the word. Does this refer to an excessive secretion of mucus from the gastrointestinal mucous membranes or some other symptom comparable to a gastrointestinal infection? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:57, 30 December 2014 (UTC)


 * From my understanding, gastrointestinal catarrh is another word for diarrhea, i.e. gastrointestinal secretions. Catarrh simply means secretions. P37307 (talk) 18:13, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
