Background: To clarify the clinical use of sonography for differentiation of edema we tried to answer the question whether a group of doctors can differentiate lymphedema from cardiac, hepatic or venous edema just by analysing sonographic images of the edema. Patients and methods: 38 (70 ± 12 years, 22 (58 %) females) patients with lower limb edema were recruited according the clinical diagnosis: 10 (26 %) lymphedema, 16 (42 %) heart insufficiency, 6 (16 %) venous disorders, 6 (16 %) chronic hepatic disease. Edema was depicted sonographically at the most affected leg in a standardised way at distal and proximal calf. 38 sets of images were anonymised and send to 5 experienced doctors. They were asked whether they can see criteria for lymphedema: 1. anechoic gaps, 2. horizontal gaps and 3. echoic rims. Results: Accepting an edema as lymphedema if only one doctor sees at least one of the three criteria for lymphatic edema on each single image all edema would be classified as lymphatic. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see at least one of the three criteria on the distal image of the same patient 80 % of the patients supposed to have lymphedema are classified as such, but also the majority of cardiac, venous and hepatic edema. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see all three criteria on the distal image of the same patients no edema would be classified as lymphatic. In addition we separated patients by Stemmers’ sign in those with positive and negative sign. The interpretation of the images was not different between both groups. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that it is not possible to differentiate lymphedema from other lower limb edema sonographically.

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease represents an increasing cause of chronic hepatic disease in recent years. This condition usually arises in patients with multiple comorbidities, the so-called metabolic syndrome. The therapeutic options are multiple, ranging from lifestyle modifications, pharmacological options, to liver transplantation in selected cases. The choice of the most beneficial one and their interactions can be challenging. It is mandatory to stratify the patients according to the severity of their disease to tailor the available treatments. In our contribution, we review the most recent pharmacological target therapies, the role of bariatric surgery, and the impact of liver transplantation on the NAFLD outcome.

Somatic Status

Cardiac affectation is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Rhythmic disorders such as ventricular extrasystoles, atrial extrasysoles, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter represent a major risk factor with a gloomy progression and prognosis. Our goal was to analyze the existing arrhythmia risk in patients with chronic hepatic disease. Being known the alteration of the somatic status of the patient with liver cirrhosis or other chronic liver disease in the presence of comorbid cardiac symptoms, we consider vital to prevent arrhythmia risk in hepatic pathology.

Abstract The liver has a central role in the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, elimination, etc.) of drugs. With hepatic insufficiency, the metabolism of drugs decreases, which accumulates metabolically or toxic active products. Some medicines can aggravate a pre-existing liver disease. Medicines used in this group of patients (especially diuretics and centrally acting preparations) can often cause impaired renal function or hepatic encephalopathy. The general principles of assessment, pain management and analgesia should be prescribed taking into account the Word Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for these patients, with careful and frequent monitoring of patient progress during treatment administration. Key words: hepatotoxicity, hepatic dysfunction, cirrhosis, pain medication,
