nutmeg liver

If this condition persists chronically what is known as Nutmeg liver will develop.

There are nutmeg livers of congestive heart failure and Swisscheese endometria of hyperplasia.

True nutmeg liver is usually secondary to left-sided heart failure causing congestive right heart failure, so treatment options are limited.

Chronic congestion in the centrilobular region of the liver leads to hypoxia and fatty changes of more peripheral hepatocytes, leading to what is known as nutmeg liver.

Ischemic hepatitis is related to another condition called congestive hepatopathy or nutmeg liver, which is a backflow condition due to poor drainage of the liver, usually due to heart failure.

In hepatology, congestive hepatopathy, also known as nutmeg liver and chronic passive congestion of the liver, is liver dysfunction due to venous congestion, usually cardiac dysfunction, i.e. right heart failure or (less specifically) congestive heart failure.
