Why A Healthy Patient Suddenly Went Into Liver Failure

A good example of the thought process behind evaluating a patient who comes in with severe liver injury with LFTs in the 1000s. An unfortunate case, but a lot of good teaching points for medical students and residents.

Firstly, congrats on becoming an attending! Even though I've been following you through YouTube/Tiktok, you're truly an inspiring doctor. Secondly, thank you so much for videos like this one. You make learning this stuff a lot more fun than it should be and I'd love to see more videos like this one for other cases/systems. Cheers!

Hey Dr. Liu, just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. PGY-1 categorical here, learning so much from your vids.

Love the structure and delivery! It’s great how you address other common questions and rationales along the way! So helpful! Keep up the good work!!

Let me know what you thought of the case! Were you able to guess the diagnosis, or what else do you think it could have been? I realize I need to include some more positive/uplifting cases haha... coming later!

Dr Liu, please do these contents often!! It’s so helpful

I still don’t understand this idea of ‘they’re too high-risk, therefore they’ll just have to die.’

What’s the worst that can happen with attempted retrieval, they bleed into the IVC? I’m sure the patient would have consented to it.

Cool case, nice presentation with lots of pearls! Really weird for such a big clot to develop. I noticed the Dbili was pretty elevated makes me think of an obstructive biliary process such as pancreatic malignancy or choledocholithiasis, was there ever any imaging showing the CBD diameter?

I would love to see a video of "common medical student pimped questions". Of course, the magician never reveals his secret, but run down some of the most common you experienced would be awesome!

Hello! You have amazing videos. I am a pgy1 IM resident. What software do you use to make these presentations?

[Patriots]

And pathology will soon give us the answer. Pathology knows the answer to every medical condition 100% of the time!! Just one or two days late.

I would have advocated for anticoagulating at a lower dose. That clot (if it is a clot) is gigantic and can still expand

wish you were friend's attending when he had cryptogenic cirrhosis
