" evidence of liver cirrhosis with corkscrew arteries and periportal

and portacaval as well as retroperitoneal adenopathy. "

The impression " cirrhosis with periportal and portacaval

retroperitoneal subcentimeter lymph nodes "

Can anyone tell me more what this means?

Thanks...

Well, I think portacaval has to do with high blood pressure in the liver and is

treated with a procedure called portacaval shunt.

So I would think that the statement below is talking about portal hypertension.

" evidence of liver cirrhosis with corkscrew arteries and periportal

and portacaval "

Adenopathy is large lymph glands.

I've heard of retroperitoneal fibrosis which is a disorder in which the tubes

that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder are blocked by a fibrous mass

in the back of the abdomen.

Does that help at all?
