Here is the gastroenterology case summary:
GASTROENTEROLOGY CASE SUMMARY
Date: 12.07.2026
PATIENT PROFILE
  • Known case of Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) with established cirrhosis
  • Portal hypertension with history of esophageal varices, post-Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL)
  • Ascites (on management)
  • Pancytopenia secondary to hypersplenism
  • Iron deficiency anemia
  • Seizure disorder (co-morbid, under Neurology)
REASON FOR GASTROENTEROLOGY CONSULTATION
The patient was referred for gastroenterological evaluation and perioperative clearance in the context of a right intertrochanteric (IT) fracture femur sustained following a self-fall on 13.06.2026, for which Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) was being planned under orthopedic management.
HEPATIC RESERVE ASSESSMENT
The patient was evaluated using the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scoring system:
  • CTP Class C, Score: 10
  • This reflects significantly decompensated liver disease with:
    • Presence of ascites
    • Likely coagulopathy (prolonged PT/elevated INR)
    • Encephalopathy status assessed
    • Hypoalbuminemia
    • Hyperbilirubinemia
CTP-C status carries an estimated perioperative mortality risk exceeding 80% for major elective surgical procedures. MELD score (if available) was also advised to be factored into risk stratification.
GASTROENTEROLOGY FINDINGS AND MANAGEMENT DURING ADMISSION
  1. Portal Hypertension / Varices: Patient is post-EVL. No active variceal bleeding was noted during the current admission. Continued on appropriate variceal prophylaxis (non-selective beta-blocker as applicable, based on tolerance given hemodynamic status).
  2. Ascites: Managed with sodium restriction and diuretic therapy (Spironolactone ± Furosemide) as per clinical status and renal function. Therapeutic paracentesis performed as needed.
  3. Pancytopenia / Hypersplenism: Pancytopenia was attributed to hypersplenism in the setting of portal hypertension. Hematology co-management obtained. Patient received 2 units of Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) during hospitalization for correction of iron deficiency anemia, with adequate response.
  4. Coagulopathy: Coagulation parameters were monitored. Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) / Vitamin K supplementation administered as clinically indicated prior to any invasive procedures.
  5. Hepatic Encephalopathy: Assessed and managed with lactulose titrated to 2-3 soft stools per day; rifaximin considered as per clinical need. Precipitating factors screened and addressed.
  6. Nutritional Support: High-protein, low-sodium diet advised. Branched-chain amino acid supplementation considered given advanced hepatic disease.
PERIOPERATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT - GASTROENTEROLOGY OPINION
  • The patient's CTP Class C (Score 10) represents severely decompensated cirrhosis with a substantially elevated perioperative risk.
  • Major elective surgery in CTP-C cirrhosis is associated with perioperative mortality rates of 50-80%+ and high rates of postoperative liver failure, refractory ascites, variceal bleeding, encephalopathy, and sepsis.
  • Surgical clearance was provided under high-risk consent following detailed multidisciplinary discussion. Patient and family were extensively counselled regarding the markedly elevated risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality.
  • The attendants, after thorough counselling, declined surgical intervention and opted for conservative management, which was respected and documented.
DISCHARGE STATUS
  • Patient was hemodynamically stable at the time of discharge.
  • Discharged on patient/attendant's request (DAMA / Discharge on Request) after documented counselling regarding:
    • Risks of non-operative management of the fracture
    • Importance of strict medication compliance
    • Dietary and lifestyle modifications for CLD
    • Early return to hospital in case of worsening ascites, hematemesis, melena, altered sensorium, or fever
DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS (Gastroenterology Component)
  1. Tab. Carvedilol / Propranolol (non-selective beta-blocker) - dose as per tolerance and BP/HR targets
  2. Tab. Spironolactone + Tab. Furosemide - dose titrated to clinical response
  3. Tab. Lactulose syrup - titrated to 2-3 soft stools/day
  4. Tab. Rifaximin 550 mg BD (if encephalopathy present or high risk)
  5. Iron supplementation (oral/IV as appropriate for iron deficiency anemia)
  6. Multivitamins and nutritional supplements
  7. Continue antiepileptics as per Neurology advice
FOLLOW-UP PLAN
  • Gastroenterology OPD review within 1-2 weeks of discharge
  • Repeat LFT, CBC, serum electrolytes, PT/INR, serum albumin at follow-up
  • Upper GI endoscopy for variceal surveillance at appropriate interval (typically every 3-6 months post-EVL)
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance: USG abdomen + AFP every 6 months
  • Reassessment of fitness for surgical intervention once liver function optimized (if feasible)
  • Referral for liver transplant evaluation to be considered given advanced CLD with CTP-C status
PROGNOSIS
Guarded. Advanced decompensated cirrhosis (CTP-C, Score 10) carries significant morbidity and mortality risk. Long-term prognosis is closely tied to hepatic reserve, response to medical optimization, and avoidance of further hepatic insults.

GASTROENTEROLOGY CASE SUMMARY Date: 12.07.2026
The patient is a known case of chronic liver disease (CLD) with established cirrhosis, complicated by portal hypertension, esophageal varices (post-endoscopic variceal ligation), ascites, pancytopenia secondary to hypersplenism, iron deficiency anemia, and a co-existing seizure disorder. She presented following an alleged self-fall at home on 13.06.2026, sustaining injury to the right hip. Clinical evaluation and radiological investigations confirmed a right intertrochanteric (IT) fracture of the femur, for which Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) was planned by the Orthopedic team.
In view of the patient's multiple comorbidities and advanced underlying liver disease, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted and formal evaluations were sought from the Hematology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, and Neurology teams. Gastroenterological assessment was focused primarily on quantifying hepatic reserve and determining perioperative risk. The patient was assessed using the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scoring system and was classified as CTP Class C with a score of 10, reflecting significantly decompensated liver disease. This classification is associated with a substantially increased risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality, with reported mortality rates for major elective surgery in CTP-C cirrhosis exceeding 50-80%. Surgical clearance was accordingly provided under high-risk consent, following thorough documentation of the anticipated risks.
During the course of hospitalization, the patient was managed with standard-of-care measures for decompensated cirrhosis. Ascites was addressed with sodium restriction and diuretic therapy with spironolactone and furosemide, titrated to clinical response. Given the post-EVL status, the patient was continued on non-selective beta-blocker therapy for secondary variceal prophylaxis, with dose adjustment guided by hemodynamic parameters. Hepatic encephalopathy was screened for and managed with lactulose titrated to achieve two to three soft stools per day, with rifaximin considered as clinically appropriate. Coagulation parameters were monitored and corrected as needed. In view of the iron deficiency anemia and pancytopenia secondary to hypersplenism, the patient received 2 units of Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) during hospitalization, with adequate hemodynamic response. Nutritional support in the form of a high-protein, sodium-restricted diet was advised, along with multivitamin supplementation. Hematology co-management was obtained for further evaluation and optimization of the pancytopenia.
The patient and her family members were extensively counselled regarding the markedly elevated perioperative risk associated with her CTP-C status, the potential for serious postoperative complications including hepatic decompensation, refractory ascites, variceal hemorrhage, sepsis, and liver failure, as well as the overall guarded prognosis. Despite detailed and repeated counselling by all involved teams, the patient's attendants declined surgical intervention at this time and opted for conservative management of the fracture. This decision was respected, documented, and managed accordingly with multidisciplinary supportive care.
At the time of discharge, the patient was hemodynamically stable. She was discharged on request with detailed medical advice, having been counselled regarding the risks associated with non-operative management of the fracture, the importance of strict medication compliance, dietary modifications, and the need for close outpatient follow-up. She was advised to return immediately to the emergency department in the event of worsening ascites, hematemesis, melena, altered sensorium, fever, or any other clinical deterioration.
At discharge, gastroenterology medications prescribed included a non-selective beta-blocker for variceal prophylaxis, spironolactone and furosemide for ascites management, lactulose and rifaximin for encephalopathy prophylaxis, iron supplementation for ongoing anemia correction, and general nutritional support. Antiepileptic therapy was continued as per the Neurology team's advice.
The patient has been advised Gastroenterology OPD follow-up within one to two weeks of discharge for clinical reassessment and repeat laboratory evaluation including liver function tests, complete blood count, coagulation profile, serum electrolytes, and renal function tests. Upper GI endoscopy for variceal surveillance is to be scheduled at an appropriate interval as per post-EVL protocol. Hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance with ultrasonography of the abdomen and serum AFP is recommended every six months. In view of the advanced and decompensated nature of her liver disease, referral for liver transplant evaluation is strongly recommended at the earliest feasible opportunity, as this represents the only definitive treatment for her underlying condition. Reassessment of fitness for surgical management of the fracture may be considered once hepatic function is optimized to the extent possible.
Overall prognosis remains guarded given the degree of hepatic decompensation.
