According to the patient, he was being treated for splenomegaly, which had been identified during this period. He subsequently underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), suggestive of previously diagnosed gastroesophageal varices in the setting of portal hypertension. Thereafter, around 2019–2020, during regular follow-up, the patient was found to have developed ascites. He was referred to AIIMS for paracentesis; however, owing to non-availability of a bed, he subsequently presented to Himalayan Hospital, where an ascitic tap was performed. Since then, the patient has continued his treatment and follow-up at Himalayan Hospital. There is no history of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding reported since then, Following this, his fever subsided; however, he subsequently developed sudden-onset yellowish discoloration of the eyes, hands and skin, suggestive of acute jaundice. The patient was also described as appearing markedly pale. Negative History There is no history of significant weight loss. There is no history of diabetes mellitus or hypertension. There is no past history of pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchial asthma or other significant chronic medical illness. There is no history of any previous surgery.

Clinical Summary Mr. Vijay Kumar, a 47-year-old male farmer, known to have a long-standing history suggestive of portal hypertension since 2005, initially presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding and splenomegaly, for which he subsequently underwent EVL, later developing ascites around 2019–2020 requiring therapeutic paracentesis, presents currently with acute-onset vomiting, abdominal pain with burning sensation, decreased appetite and abdominal distension. Approximately one month prior to the current admission, he had an episode of fever and generalized weakness, for which he consumed approximately 7.5 g of paracetamol over 2–3 days, following which he developed acute jaundice with total bilirubin of 23 mg/dL and required hospitalization from 17th to 26th July, with subsequent improvement in bilirubin. He is a vegetarian, non-alcoholic and non-smoker, with no history of diabetes, hypertension, tuberculosis, asthma or previous surgery. There is a significant family history of his father having died following an episode of unexplained jaundice. Functional / Syndromic Diagnosis Most appropriate functional diagnosis: Chronic portal hypertension with decompensation, manifested by previous variceal gastrointestinal bleeding and ascites, with a recent episode of acute-on-chronic liver injury presenting predominantly as severe jaundice, temporally related to paracetamol exposure. correct this hostory
