Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease

Abstract: The characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accompanying chronic liver disease (CLD) were investigated in ICH patients hospitalized between 1998 and 2008 divided into the CLD group (55 ICHs in 49 patients) and the idiopathic group without CLD (668 ICHs in 648 patients). The CLD group included a subgroup with liver cirrhosis (LC). Age, sex, history of hypertension, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission, and hematoma locations were reviewed. Outcomes on discharge and causes of inhospital death we… Show more

“…8 In contrast to our cohort, this study was a single-center cohort of patients. 8 With respect to ischemic stroke outcomes, unlike a limited analysis of mono-ethnic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, 9 our findings suggest that liver disease is also associated with a worse outcome after ischemic stroke.…”

“…Poor outcomes after ICH in this population may in part be due to increased hematoma size and/or expansion in patients with liver disease. 10, 11 Alternatively, patients with liver disease may be otherwise prone to decompensation due to non-neurological conditions, 8 such as alcohol withdrawal or frailty. Last, possible interactions between liver disease and stroke treatment may play a role directly or limit provision of therapies.…”

“…While the clinical characteristics of ICH in cirrhosis have been described (7, 8), the two available studies on ICH risk in liver disease, including cirrhosis, produced conflicting results (9, 10). Further, a recent study, though not designed to assess the degree of ICH risk associated with liver disease, revealed ICH to be an infrequent cause of altered mental status in cirrhotic patients (11).…”

“…But thrombocytopenia does not always require platelet transfusion. Hypertension was less frequent in patients with chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis [7]. This may suggest that patients with liver dysfunction are more vulnerable to developing ICH than those without such background pathology.…”
