Hepatic ischemia
Alternate Names : Ischemic hepatitis, Shock liver
Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of the low blood pressure. Low blood pressure must be treated so that the liver receives enough blood. The illness causing the problem must also be treated.
Prognosis (Expectations)
Patients generally recover if the illness causing hepatic ischemia can be treated. Death from liver failure due to hepatic ischemia is very rare.
Complications
Liver failure is a rare but life-threatening complication.
Calling Your Health Care Provider
See your health care provider right away if you have persistent weakness or symptoms of shock or dehydration.
