Liver Transplants – Before and After



A healthy liver is a vital part of digesting food, filtering toxins from the bloodstream, producing important proteins and hormones, and just staying alive in general. Fortunately for humans, this organ has an incredible ability to repair itself when it is damaged by exposure to viruses, bacteria, or harmful toxins. Sadly, if the damage is too extensive, self-repair may not be possible.

In this case, there is nothing doctors can currently do to reverse the damage done; their best hope is to stop the spread of any damage. In the most severe cases, the patient may need a transplant from a healthy donor just to survive. Unfortunately, these surgeries are very expensive, difficult to arrange, and available only to people who meet specific requirements.

Who Is Eligible?

Healthy organs come from deceased people who volunteered to donate them, or from living people in certain circumstances. For example, a portion of a person’s liver can be transported from him or her to another person, allowing both of them to live. Despite this interesting technology, the number of people who need new organs far exceeds the number of organs available.

Because of this, hospitals must ration their resources by only performing transplants on the patients who are most likely to survive. The theory is that the medical care we can offer should be spent on those who will benefit from it most. At time same time, priority is given to people who are in immediate danger of dying if they do not undergo the operation.

A person may be found ineligible if he or she has a condition that is likely to make the procedure unsuccessful. Examples of such conditions include:

Metastasized (spread throughout the body) cancer Addiction to alcohol or other drugs Illness such as HIV or other life-threatening infections Co-morbid and likely terminal heart or lung conditions Severe brain injury associated with the original condition

While it is not necessarily impossible for a person with one of these conditions to receive a donated organ, his or her struggle will be much more difficult.

Aftereffects

After the surgery is complete, the patient still has a long recovery period in front of him or her. He or she will likely have a full regimen of medications to reduce the risk of infection and his or her body’s rejection of the new organ. It may also be three months or longer before he or she feels well enough to resume normal life activities.

Fortunately, the long-term survival rate for this procedure is high. Many people who have undergone it go on to live long and productive lives.

Bronchiectasis Causes Symptoms Information With Treatment



Bronchiectasis is a lung condition in which some of the bronchi and bronchioles have lost their elasticity and have expanded and filled with fluid. With bronchiectasis, these natural cleaning mechanisms have become damaged or destroyed. Although bronchiectasis can develop at any age, it generally begins during childhood. The mucus is then normally wafted away by the beating of tiny hairs called cilia which line the tubes see figure.

Normally the airways in the lung are sterile – they are not infected. Also, inflammation and an increased number of blood vessels in the bronchial wall can result in a person coughing up blood. Blockage of the damaged airways can lead to abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood. Typically, bronchiectasis causes widening of medium-sized bronchi, but often smaller bronchi become scarred and destroyed. Occasionally, a form of bronchiectasis affecting larger bronchi occurs in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, a condition caused by an allergic response to the Aspergillus fungus.

Causes of Bronchiectasis

The common Causes of Bronchiectasis:

Inhaling stomach acid which has been regurgitated back into the gullet

Healing of the tubes resulting in puckering and scarring, causing obstruction

Underlying genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis, where the mucus in the bronchial tubes is too thick, and primary ciliary dyskinesia, where the cilia lining the bronchial tubes do not beat properly

Immunodeficiency disorders, such as HIV infection and AIDS.

Cystic fibrosis, which leads to almost half of the cases of bronchiectasis in the United States.

Tuberculosis (TB) and other similar infections

Mechanical obstruction of the bronchial tubes by inhaled foreign bodies, for example, peanuts

Too little immunity to infection, for example after infantile pneumonia from whooping cough or measles, or lack of antibodies which occasionally occurs after a virus infection in adult life.

Symptoms of Bronchiectasis

Some Symptoms of Bronchiectasis:

Fatigue.

Paleness

Weight loss

Shortness of breath worsened by exercise.

Coughing up blood

Wheezing

Skin discoloration, bluish

Cough worsened by lying on one side.

Breath odor

Treatment of Bronchiectasis

If you are able, a daily exercise such as running, walking, swimming, dancing, aerobics, etc, helps to clear the mucus too.

Smoking makes symptoms worse and smokers are very strongly advised to stop.

Surgery may be an option if you have a small local area of lung damage causing symptoms. Cutting out the damaged airway may cure the problem. Surgery may be considered even if you have widespread bronchiectasis. This may be to cut out a particularly bad area of lung that is acting as a reservoir for mucus and infection. Occasionally, a lung transplant may be considered in severe cases.

Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation in your lungs. They work best when you take them with an inhaler.

Mucus thinners , such as acetylcysteine, loosen the mucus.

treatment of nose or sinus infection and runny nose using nasal drops and sprays.

If you have mild bronchiectasis, you may need a course of antibiotics every ‘now and then’ to clear chest infections as and when they occur. A change of the colour of your sputum to green and feeling unwell usually indicates that you have a chest infection. If you have severe bronchiectasis, you may find that chest infections return quickly once you stop taking antibiotics. In this situation you may be advised to take antibiotics every day to keep chest infections away.
