Start NowCirrhosis is characterized by fibrosis of and nodule formation in the liver secondary to chronic injury, leading to alteration of the normal lobular organization of this organ. It not only causes severe debilitation and impairment on quality of life but also is life-threatening. Often, a liver transplant is the only cure. Understanding how to manage patients, detect early changes, and prevent cirrhosis may be challenging but is extremely important.

I was super confused about PBC and PSC but Dr. Raj made it clear! love his style of teaching
Although the course gives you a good desccription of the liver anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, it doesn't touch on treatment and reasons for commencing a particular treatment.
As always, Dr. Raj is an outstanding teacher. I just love the way he drills concepts into my brain by connecting all the subjects together from biochemistry to pharmacology. You leave a topic with a thoroughly cohesive understanding of the subject. Teaching is a talent and Dr. Raj has it.
I think Dr. Raj is the best lecturer, he explains briefly everything we need in med school for exam and for our practice life as a doctors, so I am so glad and thankfull to lecturio teem and Dr. Raj. I was the only one who understand everything about liver diseases in the school today. Thank you

Brief but accurate in its presentation and what is included. Thank you.
great lecure and wide coverage of key poinds like investigations. I like the style and the content. Thanks
good points covered. clinically relevant. good cases. thanks! I enjoyed this lecture.
very good lecture. high yield. excellent coverage of the topics.
Excellent class. It help me so much to separate what is really important, from what it's not. Very clear
Carlo Raj simply read the slides, he could've said so much more about this important topic...
Great lecture , excellent review of all the diseases shown in the video
amazing lecture , i want tobe like doctor raj he is my hero
The best lectures I've seen on the Hepatology. Best teaching style by the faculty. I would highly recommend the Lecture series.
Excerlent course. All key points are presenting clearlly and I would recommend them to my classmates.
very good teacher, brings a lot of practical information. nice vid
Clear explanation and differentiation. Eliminates confusion and is concise but complete
This lesson is very methodical and easy to understand finally especially after years being away from school.
Excellent summary of hep B. Thorough explanation of serology. Thanks Dr Raj!
Dr. Raj mostly did a good job teaching, but I would have appreciated a bit more pathophysiology and explanations e.g. for alcoholic fat liver disease.
Clear and concise with high yield facts Makes learning a pleasure! Ability to play pause and reply lecture sequences is a great feature!
The content is not up date but the general content is regular
its very good but plz there is some videos without translate!!
He explains everything so well; this is exactly the kind of question we get on our exams in university of maastricht. It's detailed, but serology explanation is really helpful
Great delivery of PBC. one of the best pathophysio professor for step 1 review
wached pathoma and then went for this . explaiation not up to the mark
This may be the best tutor in lecturio, according to my preference of high tempo, fast questions and high yield facts. He promts, even urge you to be your best.
Informative! There were quite a few different things i learned from this lecture. I now have a better understanding of the disease.
Speaks too fast Could include more detail Pronunciation was a little bit strange
Muy buen video, claro y concreto, me gustó mucho su charla.
i dont know why but i dont like this lecturer in his slides here is lot of ontroversies slides says one thing and lecturer says another thing
Excellent! Dr Carlo covered hepatology well. Thank you so much.
lacking crucial points about pathogenesis - egthe pathogenesis of cirrhosis (ie stellate cells), does not link key symptoms and signs with pathology, just provides a list instead.
He is the best lecturer on this site.His style of teaching is very powerful.He is not too fast, he knows when to pause for a second, when to repeat a word.Thank u Sir.
Lots of materials covered in a short time. Very good review lectures
Clear as always. I like the way he emphasizes things. A lot
the tutuor did a great job but i find this topic diffucult and did not get a clear picture of it yet
Good way of classifying the causes but missed out on defining the pressure (>5 mmHg) and potential treatment options such as propranolol, TIPS etc.... Also what about the potential complications, which would have been perfect to discuss here ie variceal bleeds
Missed another important benign tumour of the liver that would have been worthwhile covering
It would have been great to list the most common agents that could potentially lead to liver toxicity aside from paracetamol, incl phenytoin, statins, amiodarone, methotrexate. Also not sure if this would be discussed in the Emergency Medicine talks but actually working up the patient and what to do from a monitoring point of view once a diagnosis of paracetamol overdose would have been really helpful. It would have been worth noting that acetylcysteine most efficacious within 8 to 10 hours after ingestion of paracetamol.
It would have been good to discuss the use IV arantiprotease for the management of this condition. Moreover a little bit of discussion about the genetics of this conditions how it influences the disease presentation and natural history.
GREETINGS; I gave it a five star rating,b'coz this is first time i m encountering such a review course which is very concise, yet so enlightening that u get a complete grasp of the most important topics in HEPATOLOGY .I w'd recommend these lecture courses for all 3rd year medical students in this part of world [ASIA].The best part about these lectures n personally which i liked the most [as i being a critical care post graduate student] r the ''IN USE'' criteria for liver transplantation like KING'S COLLEGE CRITERIA n criteria for prognostications, like charcotte--pugh n MELD SCORING. CARLO RAJ SIR REALLY ROCKS
