PY - 2023 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2023 AB - Ischemic hepatitis, also called ischemic hepatopathy, hypoxic hepatitis, shock liver, or acute cardiogenic liver injury, may affect 2.5 of every 100 patients admitted to an ICU and results from an acute fall in cardiac output due to acute MI, arrhythmia, or septic or hemorrhagic shock, usually in a patient with passive congestion of the liver. Rare cases have occurred in patients with COVID-19. Clinical hypotension may be absent (or unwitnessed). In some cases, the precipitating event is arterial hypoxemia due to respiratory failure, sleep apnea, severe anemia, heat stroke, carbon monoxide poisoning, cocaine use, or bacterial endocarditis. More than one precipitant is common. Statin therapy prior to admission may protect against ischemic hepatitis.
