Abstract Background: Decompensated cirrhosis is an illness that causes tremendous suffering. The incidence of cirrhosis is increasing and rates of liver transplant, the only cure, remain stagnant. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to perform the clinical trial on cirrhosis-ascites patient by the mineral pulse light stimuli on LV acupoints without any drugs use.Methods: Hepatic cirrhosis patient was stimulated by mineral pulse light stimulator (MPLS). Stimulus acupoints; LV3. LV14. SP6. The selected acupoints were stimulated by MPLS for 50~60 minutes once a day. The same method was performed on the patient for 40days without any drugs use (diuretics, Albumin, etc.).Results: After treatment, all the laboratory indicators and patient conditions were become normal.Conclusions: Cirrhosis-ascites patient was recovered by mineral pulse light stimulus on LV acupoints without any drugs use.

Background - Ascites can occur after hepatic diseases causing dyspnea, coughing and pain. When associated with pleural effusion it can also increase respiratory distress. In a bibliographic survey hydrothorax has been observed in up to 20% of the patients and the kind of treatment is still being discussed. Objective — This case report shows the occurrence of a large volume of ascites and pleural effusion in a cirrhotic patient and his treatment. Methods — Report the case of a patient with hepatic cirrhosis due to chronic alcoholism and massive pleural effusion and ascites. He was submitted to several pleural paracenteses without success. Scintigraphy showed the presence of ascites and confirmed a possible pleuroperitoneal communication. The thoracic surgery group was called and after evaluation it was decided to submit the patient to a pulmonary decortication and chemical pleurodesis. Results — These procedures were carried out with success. The pleural effusion was solved and the treatment of ascites was decided upon because the patient did not accept any surgical procedure. Conclusion - This treatment could be applied to patients with hydrothorax who could not be submitted to a liver transplantation.

Vascular Events

Vascular events are the most common clinical complication of essential thrombocythemia, leading to sign and symptoms of this disease. There are various sign and symptoms of essential thrombocythemia, such as thrombosis in artery or vein, and enlarged spleen. Portal hypertension and hepatic cirrhosis could be caused by essential thrombocythemia via intrahepatic thrombus. Anemia in essential thrombocythemia patient treated with hydroxyurea could be the side effect of bone marrow supression and also hydroxyurea induced hemolytic anemia. Association betweeen autoimmune hemolytic anemia and primary biliary cirrhosis or hepatic cirrhosis has been discussed. This case report presented an patient diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia. He later developed hepatic cirrhosis possibly caused by intra hepatic thrombus in the setting of hypercoagulabuility in myeloproliverative disorders. He also sufferred from anemia due to hydroxyurea induced hemolytic anemia. Association between autoimmune hepatic cirrhosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia should also be considered in this patient.
