  Toxic hepatitis is an inflammation of your liver in reaction to certain substances to which you’re exposed. Toxic hepatitis can be caused by alcohol, chemicals, drugs or nutritional supplements. […] The symptoms of toxic hepatitis often go away when exposure to the toxin stops. But toxic hepatitis can permanently damage your liver, leading to irreversible scarring of liver tissue (cirrhosis) and in some cases to liver failure, which can be life-threatening. […] The inflammation associated with toxic hepatitis can lead to liver damage and scarring. Over time, this scarring, called cirrhosis, makes it difficult for your liver to do its job. Eventually cirrhosis leads to liver failure. The only treatment for chronic liver failure is to replace your liver with a healthy one from a donor (liver transplant).

  Toxic hepatitis is a condition in which your liver becomes inflamed due to exposure to certain toxins. […] Toxic hepatitis can develop hours or days after being exposed to a toxin. […] Toxic hepatitis symptoms usually go away once the toxin is no longer present. […] Toxic hepatitis, on the other hand, can permanently damage your liver, leading to irreversible scarring of liver tissue (cirrhosis) and, in some cases, life-threatening liver failure. […] In most situations, eliminating exposure to the toxin causing liver inflammation can relieve the signs and symptoms you are experiencing. […] People with severe symptoms are more likely to get supportive therapy in the hospital, such as intravenous fluids and medication to alleviate nausea and vomiting. […] Your doctor will also monitor you for signs of liver damage. […] A liver transplant may be the only option for some people if the liver is significantly damaged.

  Toxic hepatitis is any acute or sub-acute necrosis of the liver or other unspecified chemical hepatitis caused by exposure to non-medicinal toxic agents other than ethyl alcohol, including, but not limited to, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene, phosphorus, TNT, chloronapthalenes, methylenedianilines, ethylene dibromide, and organic solvents. […] Clinically, toxic hepatitis can resemble any form of acute or chronic liver disease, such as viral hepatitis or bile-duct obstruction. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, jaundice, enlarged liver and right upper quadrant abdominal tenderness are often identical to viral hepatitis. […] In an occupational setting, toxic hepatitis can occur when workers are exposed to industrial chemicals capable of causing liver damage.

  The liver is the main organ responsible for the metabolism of drugs and toxic chemicals, and so is the primary target organ for many organic solvents. […] Work activities with hepatotoxin exposure are numerous and include chemists, dry cleaners, farm workers, painters, health care workers, nurses, and printers. […] Three conditions must be fulfilled for the diagnosis of professional toxic hepatitis: (1) Liver damage should take place after occupational exposure to a substance; patient occupational history and the workplace in question is necessary; (2) Liver enzymes must increase to at least double the upper limit of normal levels; and (3) Tertiary conditions, such as other causes of liver disease, must be excluded. […] The most important factors contributing to toxicity liver are protein binding, species differences, points of binding inside the liver intracellular, nutritional condition, genetic factors, interaction with medications in use, alcohol abuse and interaction, and age.

They assess peripheral pulses, capillary refill, skin turgor, and mucous membranes, as well as for signs of bleeding such as hematuria, melena, ecchymosis, and oozing from gums and IV sites. They monitor laboratory values such as serial liver enzymes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, albumin, and clotting times. […] Nursing interventions include the following actions: Optimize nutrition: Anorexia is a common symptom. A dietician is consulted to plan a diet according to the clients current nutritional needs. Medications are administered related to nutritional intake as prescribed such as antiemetics, antiulcer medications, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and other nutritional supplements.

  Discuss restrictions on donating blood. […] Rationale: Prevents spread of infectious disease. Most state laws prevent accepting as donors those who have a history of any type of hepatitis. […] Emphasize importance of follow-up physical examination and laboratory evaluation. […] Rationale: Disease process may take several months to resolve. If symptoms persist longer than 6 mo, liver biopsy may be required to verify presence of chronic hepatitis. […] Review necessity of avoidance of alcohol for a minimum of 612 mo or longer based on individual tolerance. […] Rationale: Increases hepatic irritation and may interfere with recovery. […] Refer to community resources, drug/alcohol treatment program as indicated. […] Rationale: May need additional assistance to withdraw from substance and maintain abstinence to avoid further liver damage.

  This nursing care plan for Hepatitis includes a diagnosis and care plan for nurses with nursing interventions and outcomes for the following conditions: Fatigue Imbalanced Nutrition. Patients who have hepatitis can experience fatigue due to the fluid overload and toxins built up in the body’s bloodstream. The liver filters toxins and when it does not work properly it can allow these toxins to collect in the blood which can make a patient feel terrible. In addition, patients with hepatitis can experience imbalanced nutrition due to enlargement of the liver that can cause epi-gastric pain. The epi-gastric pain can be caused by the enlarged liver putting pressure on the stomach. […] Nursing Diagnosis: -Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than body requirements related to epigastric pain and nausea/vomiting as evidence by patient reports stomach pain, nausea/vomiting, and 48 hour food diary shows caloric deficient. -Fatigue related to reduced metabolism by liver as evidence by patient has diagnosis of hepatitis.
