LIVER DISEASES: BACTERIAL AND AMOEBIC ABSCESSES AND JAUNDICE IN LIVER CIRRHOSIS

Abstract

Liver diseases represent a major global health concern, encompassing infectious, inflammatory, and chronic degenerative conditions. Among these, bacterial and amoebic liver abscesses are significant causes of hepatic suppuration, while cirrhosis remains a final common pathway of chronic liver injury, frequently accompanied by jaundice. This article provides a comprehensive review of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies of bacterial and amoebic liver abscesses, as well as the mechanisms and clinical significance of jaundice in liver cirrhosis. Differential diagnostic considerations and a comparative analysis of disease presentations are also discussed.
