- Cirrhosis of the liver nursing NCLEX review over the symptoms, nursing care/management, pathophysiology, complications, and treatments.
Cirrhosis is a liver disease where liver cells become extremely damaged due to long-term/severe damage. This damage can be from a viral infection (Hepatitis B or C), heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, hyperlipidemia, bile duct problem, autoimmune etc. These damaged liver cells are replaced with fibrous tissue, and this leads to scarring of the liver.
The role of the liver is to filter the blood and perform the following functions to it: metabolizing, detoxifying, storing, producing etc. When liver cells are damaged these processes do not happen.
Complications of cirrhosis include: portal hypertension, splenomegaly, ascites, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, esophageal varices etc. All of these conditions are discussed in depth in the video.
During the early stages of cirrhosis the patient may be asymptomatic, however, in the late stages the patient will have signs and symptoms that include: asterixis, fetor hepaticus, jaundice, reduced platelets and white blood cells, spider angiomas, ascites, gynecomastia, increase ammonia level etc.
Nursing interventions for cirrhosis include monitoring for bleeding, abnormal glucose levels, implementing a proper diet: if patient has confusion (hepatic encephalopathy) they need a low protein diet, however, if patient isn't confused they need a high lean protein diet, low sodium, fluid restriction, assessing for rupture of varices, administering lactulose etc.
Treatment for cirrhosis includes a liver transplant and medications such as diuretics, blood products, vitamin K, beta blocker or nitrates. In addition to a paracentesis. which helps remove fluid from the abdomen, if ascites is present.

RegisteredNurseRN u're the best
Absolutely amazing.. Really enjoy your videos. You have the perfect voice and are extremely knowledgeable. I like the way you you recap on things. Thank for your hard work getting these videos together and presenting them for us. I look forward to watching many more. Kind regards Ken
Great videos. As an ER nurse, this is a common thing we see. I had a pt tonight with liver cirrhosis, with esphg varices that ruptured. Wish people realize how bad alcoholism can damage your body. Great videos
Thank you so much for your excellent, clear video. I found it very well communicated. Thanks, again. You are very thorough about a complicated situation. Wish I had found you a year ago. Thanks.
Your amazing. Thank you 🙏
I’m a Med student and I literally failed to understand any other video there is on cirrhosis and ended up just feeling overwhelmed. I understood EVERYTHING in your video and I’m so grateful for the work you do. Thank you! ❤️
I pray CZcams pays you well! We owe you all of our tuitions. Thank you so much for what you do and lifting the load one video at a time!
I am a registered nurse now, and I admit that once I started working, many things have lost touch because most of the time we work like robot which I dont like because I like to find out thre "why " for every actions I take. And ever since I started watching your videos, I get to refresh my memories and also even learn more things that I used to! And it also able to help me in giving more quality care to my patients. I loveeee your videos and you also keep me motivated in my profession as a nurse. keep up the great work Sarah! ♥️
Taught me more in this 34 minute video than my professor taught me in a 3hr lecture! Keep the videos coming!
same me, i have got an exceptional degree in nursing school in my country by watching her brilliant videos
Facts
thats why we're all here haha
So true!
Agreed
I swear every time I learn something new in nursing school I come straight to your videos . My professors even recommend watching your videos as well because you’re that amazing at teaching ! ❤️
could you possibly do one on Lupus?
I agree
I remember when i found this channel was because CZcams recommend it to me...
You deserve a standing ovation for your marathon performance on this extremely complex disease. I always take notes on your presentations and cirrhosis just plain out exhausted me! Thank you for helping to boil it all down, and as always for the free quiz.
YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING NURSE! Just so you know, I took my LPN exam and PASSED it with 85 ques. Your videos are of great help and right now I am taking my RN program and still using all your videos and quizzes. KEEP IT UP! YOU ARE A BLESSING TO US STUDENT NURSES
I often times have a hard time understanding in my nurses classes, so after I take notes, review my notes, I watch your videos and everything just seems to come together and make sense. Thank you SO much for helping me pass my nursing courses!
I prefer watching these videos before lecture so I don't feel lost, and I have a better general idea of what's going on
I have 2 weeks left of nursing school, right now I’m in critical care and I don’t know what I would have done without you! Thank you so much for these videos!😢💕
I’m watching this as a survivor of cirrhosis. I was a kid so I don’t remember all my symptoms, treatments etc. I had a transplant at 6 years old and have been doing amazing ever since. Love watching your videos even tho I’m not a nurse or studying to be one.
Hi Sarah,
I thank God for you. Please continue to help nursing students by making more videos. Thank you so much
I’ve just finished my nursing graduate year. I’ve been watching your videos since university. I’m going into my permanent position on a Respiratory/Infectious/Gastroenterology ward! Freshening up my knowledge thanks to your help!
Please make more lectures like these for Respiratory, Cardiac, Nervous, etc. These are so helpful! You have no idea how much of a life savior you are!
Hello Kris :) Thank you so much for watching the videos. I actually have series on respiratory, cardiac, and neuro (currently doing a whole series on this topic). Here they are:
Respiratory: czcams.com/play/PLQrdx7rRsKfXxyukzyHpqYrJntLbv0aGE.html
Cardiac: czcams.com/play/PLQrdx7rRsKfV8fuU05Yzw1fAcLbKUu4bB.html
Neuro: czcams.com/play/PLQrdx7rRsKfVPDxuXWcpmg42nNXdjA9FD.html
I hope that helps :)
You are Godsend. You are the sincerest teacher Ive ever came across in my lifetime. You explain the pathophysio clearly thats its easy to understand and remember the signs and symptoms. Plus you take your time to explain why each and every sign and symptom happen and not just simply enumerate them and leave us thinking why they happen.
I've cirrhosis of liver with cysts. Mainly due to daily consumption of excess alcohol. Have quit alcohol for decades but permanent scars are there. Your explanation is simple and clear and patients with cirrohsis conditions, be able to take extra care in nursing oneself. Thank you for the simplicity of your explanation
Watching your vids, as I study for my last final in nursing school, and I just want to thank you for making all these wonderful vids, because of you ill be graduating next week (well hopefully, just gotta ace that final) lol but God bless you!
Every time I watch your videos, I am grateful, but then I also look back at how bad my Nursing professors were.
You are an inspiration, and I hope I can help other nurses when I become one. Im almost there.
How did I just discover this? You're one of, if not the best Teacher(s) I've listened to ..
A&P is a pain.... I think everyone can agree to that. But, the way you explain things makes things easier to understand and stick. Pathology is imperative for nursing, and your explanation of different disorders makes sense because you not only explain the A&P of an organ or system... but because you go into the pathophysiology! Thank you!
Thank you. I'm actually a cirrhosis patient, and I found this very helpful (and fascinating). You present very clearly and are most engaging. Keep up the good work!
I hope you are a teacher - a lot of people would greatly benefit from your teaching abilities. You have a new subscriber.

Thank you nurse Sarah for making it easy to understand for us nursing students!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. A family member is in the hospital and this just helped me understand what is going on . I can’t thank you enough
Sarah the Nurse, Words cannot describe the value that you offer to Nursing as a profession. I find your videos better than some of my class slides.
Thank you for your services to healthcare personnel education.
I really appreciate your work. You are amazing at what you do. You are making so much difference to many nursing students like me who rely on youtube videos. I don't even watch other videos, except yours. Thank you so much for continuing making wonders. From Philippines with love.
Hello Patricia, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this very kind comment. I'm so happy you like my videos and that they are helping you. I'm always so honored to have a viewer from the Philippines. I wish you the best in your studies and thanks for taking me along with you during your nursing journey!
I wish my instructors knew how to teach like this. You helped me more in one video than they have in my entire class. THANK YOU so so much, Sarah.
God bless you, Sarah.. These videos will be helping students like me decades after decades. May the Almighty reward you for your effort. Thank you again.
what an amazing teacher. i learned so much than i learnt in my entire nursing school on cirrhosis. thank you. keep the videos coming,
Your lecture is covering for every thing nurses needs to know, I found it's really helpful. Thanks for your help, GOOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
Nurse Sarah you are simply amazing, I have been making good grades in nursing school because I learn a lot from your videos. You are truly a blessing to nursing students like me. Thank you very much.
keep what you do you are a true leader of nurses around the world
Thank you for all these videos...just like everyone said, you are a much better teacher than university professors teaching these subjects. On my last year of my upgrade from RPN to BScN and you’re videos are very helpful.
I watched a few of your GI videos and I want to tell you that your voice stayed on my mind during the exam. So did your vivid explanation!! As a nursing student whose mother tongue is not English, I used to learn and forget RIGHT after the exam, however, after watching your videos, key points would stay in mind for a loong time and I don't confuse concepts as easy as I used to. Thanks so much Sarah! I became a barely passed student to an A student. :D You changed my life!! Yolanda
Thank You Nurse Sarah! You don't know how much of a help you have been to me ❤
Thank you so much for taking your time to upload such great information :) After reading my textbooks, I watch your videos and take the quiz and it always helps me fully understand any information I was missing. I'm currently in med surg and pharm 2B and have been receiving 90s or higher on every exam. Thank you!
You are so awesome! ❤️ I love watching your videos and you are such an amazing teacher! I learn so much from you and your videos help me to study topics like this with so much information much more easier. Thank you and keep up the good work! You are a blessing!
you are a great educator. you have a gift to deliver information in such a succinct and easy way to understand. thanks a bunch!
Thanks you so much for this viedo. They have really help me with my exmans and pass to my second year of nursing school
You are an excellent teacher. You know how to reach your ideas clearly into your audience.
Hi, Sarah! Your entire website is outstanding, especially for those of us reviewing. Your enthusiasm is an inspiration! Do you think you could cover ALS? My sister died from it when I was in the middle of nursing school and I remember being a little frustrated that it was never covered in RN school. I hate having firsthand knowledge, but this devastating disease needs more attention. Thanks and keep doing what you do best!
Hello Stephanie! Thank you so much for your kind message. I'm very sorry to hear about your sister! That had to be very tough losing her in the middle of nursing school. I hope to cover ALS at some point because it is a very important topic. So, always stay tuned. Thank you for watching the videos. I really appreciate it!
Thanks, Sarah. It was tough, especially since she was a priest. It's a demonic disease. I won't ever NOT watch your videos! They're absolutely one of the best resources I've ever found online and I'm turning all my friends and other students to you. All agree that your dosage calculations videos are amazing and so helpful! A lot of us struggle with math, but your step-by-step videos are broken down into specific types of calculations, which allows us to focus on one at a time, skip the ones that we're comfortable with, focus on our weak spots, and use the quizzes and worksheets to cement it in our brains. Your methods and delivery are spot on and I'm thrilled to have found you! Keep up the amazing work and accept my thanks on behalf of nursing students everywhere. You may be saving someone's sanity! Much love to you and God bless!
why aren't you a teacher !!! ps how did you get to this point of understanding on ..... everything lol I want that. thank you soooo much you are a lifesaver to nursing student everywhere
I am a 39 year old male with cirrhosis of the liver. I have been through everything that you have talked about and have stopped alcohol for one year. I have been diagnosed that my liver is stable but I am noticing weight gain and my belly is getting enlarged again. I am going to keep watching your videos as they are extremely helpful in learning about my disease. I am on 100 mg of methadone for a previous drug addiction that I have given up over 12 years ago. Do you recommend that I wean myself off the methadone - does it go through the liver and is it harmful to the liver?
Thank you for any comment you can give me.
Mark
This is an old video, but this has been a great help to me. God bless you for doing this! I had 2 patients with cirrhosis and both of them had the complications you talked about. Bleeding and ascites. The liver is a critical organ. Not sure why alcohol is even legal
Thank you so much for this review! I just got a job on a liver transplant floor and this was super helpful in understanding the various things I am seeing with my patients.
Iam a Dietetic intern, preparing for my exams. Your videos are a great learning aid. I have acquired practical knowledge to help in my counseling and practice and in preparation for my exams.
I have read in my text but this is the first time its really clear.
Thank you so much!
I passed a month ago! Thanks a lot nurse sara! I just encoded most of her videos and I had it as my notes and it worked!!! #RN
Thank you so much for making these videos. You’ve helped me so many times on exams! 😊
This was beyond helpful. I never understood this concept until know. Great job! My test is this Friday & will include this content.
Hi Sarah,
You are so brilliant with these videos. Most of the time, before a test I simply play your videos, take notes, and I pass my exams!! Thank you for being such a blessing to me while I’m in school.
Outstanding! The liver certainly is an unappreciated organ until it goes into the failure mode. Chasing electrons around a circuit board is a snap compared to the liver functionality.
I love love love loveeee your videos!!! VERY HELPFUL!! I really like how you review on the physiology first before getting into the disease
You've been a really great helper in my life. Thank you so much
You are an inspiration for me. I wish Ill be as good as you a futur nurse. Love from Québec!
I LOVE YOU SARAH. In the most non-creepy, thank you for my success sort of way ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I couldn't survive nursing school without your videos!
Just started hepatic disorders in nursing 4, would be helpful if you had more videos on hepatic disfunction and the A&P of the liver/biliary system
Liver cirrhosis I was read on my self but I can't understand but after watching this video I am clearly understand tahnku Dear mem.. namste love from India
Brilliant. JUst started a clinic on GAS ward and this has cleared up a lot of questions I had about the patients and blood tests/obs.
Ive been stagnant for years and back to review for major examination. Thank u for great refresher class.
Thank you so much for the videos my grade was so down in nursing school, but after watching your videos am getting A's in class now. :)
Watching this while this while im on quarantined .. planning to take promethrics exam this year . #PhNurse here.thank you so much
Hi Sarah thank you so much. I am overwhelmed. I research Liver Cirrhosis in your channel today but I am sad because I did not found it. So I consume whole day reviewing Liver Cirrhosis for JUST ONE TOPIC because if you are my lecturer it would only consume less than 40 minutes. Walah, I feel like I know the topic well because of you. But unfortunately nothing I found so I consume my whole day. I am surprised because finally unexpected you sent me a link for that topic.
You sre always been my angel and I learned a lot because of you.
Time now: 9:22pm
Love
Berna from Philippines

A born teacher with excellent presentation. I enjoy every moment of listening to her lecture. Her English is very cute.
With Corona Virus disrupting our lectures (yes online lectures are okay, but not the same), your videos are what's giving me hope to pass my exams.
Thank you so much.
As I said before, beauty with brain. Thanks for making nursing life easy.
If I pass Nursing school it will be because of this woman.
Sarah you are a life saver .I studied in just 10 minutes .you made me this difficult topics so easy for me.waiting for more videos like this
You're a blessing to a lot of us may God keep blessing you
I just watched a video about liver disease. A female physician was talking about this, and to be honest it feels like I watched similar just more in depth with Sara. This video is more teachable whereas the physician was more informational and really quick video.
Thank you very much for your well-stated lecture. I follow all your lectures. Keep doing our role model heroin nurse! I am really impressed.
I’m not even a medical student and I love watching and listening to this type of information.
Thank You so much Sarah my classmate Martine and I love you and she was waiting for this video to help us with our upcoming exam thank you for always being great.
