Note:
Bleeding in the digesive tract
Varices (varicose veins)
can be formed in cases of sclerosis of the liver
because of the in-ability of the portal vein
to carry the normal amount
of blood. Blood from the intestines and spleen backs up into blood
vessels in the stomach and esophagus and causes these blood vessels to
be enlarged and causes the wall and the blood vessels to become thin
and carry high pressure. Because of the high
pressure and the thin walls, they are likely to burst. If they burst,
the result can be bleeding to death unless the patient gets immediate
medical attention.
Portal
vein:
A vein that conducts
blood from the digestive organs, spleen, pancreas, and gallbladder to
the right port of the liver
and joins with the artery of the liver and permeates the liver tissues.
