[Endocrinal dysfunctions in liver failure of different etiologies and during interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C].
Liver failure is decadent stage of its severe damage, in which, processes of detoxication, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, nitrogen balance and synthesis of high-energy compounds are significantly diminished or even totally blocked. Moreover, these incorrect metabolic pathways as well as oxygen deficiency in hepatocytes are implicated in the pathogenesis of endocrine system diseases. The different endocrinal dysfunctions make worse patient's prognosis.
