Vascular changes in diseases of the liver and biliary tract (Russian)

The authors report 130 patients with different disorders of the liver and biliary tract where there were also cerebro vascular disturbances of a paroxysmal type (cephalic, vestibular, cardialgic, syncopal, acrospastic) and crises in the form of dynamic disorders of circulation (diapedetic hemorrhages). In more severe forms of hepatic lesions (cirrhosis) repeated circulatory disturbances lead to the development of a syndrome of chronic encephalopathy. The paper contains clinical, biochemical and pathomorphological characteristics of these vascular changes and their differences from atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease.
