Hepatic Ischemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hepatic ischemia is the reduction of blood flow reaching the liver, which decreases the supply of oxygen needed for the organ to function normally.
Possible causes: It may be related to drops in blood pressure, blockages in the vessels that supply the liver, or other situations that compromise circulation.
Manifestations: At times it presents with discomfort in the upper right part of the abdomen, fatigue, or abnormalities detected in liver studies.
Specialists who treat it: The gastroenterologist evaluates liver function, while the general surgeon and the vascular surgeon step in when the problem directly affects the blood vessels. If you have persistent abdominal discomfort, consulting one of them will help clarify the origin and the most suitable management.
