Title: Death from hepatic failure as a late complication of jejunoileal by-pass. Author: Gay TR, Peters RL. Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1980 Feb; 73(2):150-3. PubMed ID: 7395841. Abstract: A patient is described who developed acute hepatic failure two and one-half years following a jejunoileal by-pass. Autopsy revealed advanced micronodular cirrhosis.

Hepatic failure may occur as a late complication as well as an early one.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
