AbstractBackground and objectives. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a very important outcome in patients with chronic liver disease. Thus, the present study attempts to assess the family quality of life of these patients, since it is well known that families have always represented the primary environment of most people.Matherial and methods. A sample of 30 participants with a family member who had CLD were recruited to be interviewed through the Romanian adaptation of the Family Quality of Life Survey – general version 2006 (FQOLS-2006), an evaluation tool developed in Canada with the purpose of studying families’ quality of life among. Primary caregivers completed the FQOL Survey. The data was analysed to describe population characteristics and to explore the relationship between the main domains and dimensions of QoL and the patients and caregivers characteristics.Results. The findings showed highest domain scores for Support from services and Family relationships and lowest for Support from others. Dimension scores were highest for Importance and lowest for Stability. Overall FQOL approximated average (78.5±13.4). Younger patients scored lower rates of FQOL domains. Alcohol-related liver disease led to lower rates of all the domains, except from Support from others and Leisure and Recreation activities. Patients with liver cirrhosis or liver cancer negatively influence their caregiver’s success in career. Also, families of liver cirrhosis patients reported the lowest level of satisfaction among all respondents.Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that there are some significant areas of family life highly influenced by a chronic liver disease diagnosis in one of their members.

Diagnosis And Management

Portal biliary ductopathy (PBD) is a condition in which biliary and pancreatic ducts are extrinsically compressed by collateral branches of the portal venous system, which in turn have become dilated and varicosed due to portal hypertension. While the majority of patients with PBD are asymptomatic, a minority can present with symptoms of biliary obstruction and cholangitis with the potential of developing secondary chronic liver disease. This paper reports the case of a 29 year old male presenting with acute cholangitis, in whom PBD was diagnosed radiologically. A brief review of current literature regarding the diagnosis and management of this condition will also be presented.
