A high morphine dose in the context of cirrhosis refers to the use of elevated amounts of morphine in patients with liver cirrhosis, which can be problematic due to the liver's impaired ability to metabolize the drug. This can lead to increased side effects and a higher risk of toxicity, as the drug may accumulate in the body. Careful monitoring and dose adjustments are essential for managing pain in cirrhotic patients to avoid complications. Generally, alternative analgesics with safer profiles may be considered for these individuals.
