title: [Pathogenetic mechanisms of chronicity in liver diseases in patients with circulatory failure].
abstract: Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) can often develop such diseases as hepatitis of viral etiology, alcoholic hepatitis, drug affection of the liver and other diseases masked as congestive liver. In most cases CHF concomitant liver diseases have an atypical course with a tendency to a chronic course. CHF is one of the important pathogenetic mechanisms lying in the basis of chronicity of concomitant liver diseases. Refractory CHF, inconsistency of the hemodynamic indices of persistent hepatomegaly must lead a physician to the detection of probable independent liver diseases complicating the syndrome of heart failure. CHF is a factor causing an enhanced fibrosing liver reaction. An important diagnostic test of fibrinogenesis lying in the basis of chronicity of liver diseases, is the determination of enzymatic markers reflecting synthesis and catabolism of the main substance of connective tissue. Change in the levels of haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and glutamic acid dehydrogenase is an indirect sign of damage of the liver parenchymal endoplasmic reticulum. These indices can serve as differential criteria of the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in the liver or concomitant independent liver diseases.
