Cirrhosis changes the structure of the liver and the blood vessels that nourish it. The disease reduces the liver's ability to manufacture proteins and process hormones, nutrients, medications, and poisons. Cirrhosis gets worse over time and can become potentially life threatening. This disease can cause: * excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) * impotence * liver http://www.answers.com/topic/cancer * coma due to accumulated ammonia and body wastes (liver failure) * http://www.answers.com/topic/death Cirrhosis is the seventh leading cause of diseaserelated death in the United States. It is twice as common in men as in women. The disease occurs in more than half of all malnourished chronic alcoholics and kills about 25,000 people a year. It is the third most common cause of death in adults between the ages of 45 and 65.

The kidneys filter all of the toxins out of the blood and take them to chamber where they combine with urethra and water before exiting the body. Homeostasis in the kidneys the kidneys keep the blood filtered and filters all salts out of the blood therefore keeps the body at balance with salts.

∙ 11y ago1. the liver regulates the levels of glucose within a certain range.2.when proteins are broken down for energy, ammonia, a toxic byproduct, is produced. The liver quickly converts ammonia to urea, which is much less toxic.

∙ 9y agoThere are two major roles played by liver in homeostasis. They are regulation of pH and gas exchange ( release of Co2 and intake of O2).
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe role of the kidney and liver in homeostasis is that they both keep a number of chemicals in the body in line.

What are three ways in which the liver helps humans maintain homeostasis of glucose levels?
The liver helps humans maintain homeostasis of glucose levels in three ways. They include storing excess glucose as glycogen, releasing glycogen during fasting, and using precursors in gluconeogenesis.
What helps to maintain a stable internal environment?
Homeostasis means to maintain a stable internal environment. Lack of homeostasis is disease. All of the body organs do this. They keep the systems working at a set range. Blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. The main organs involved are the liver, kidneys, lungs and nervous system.

How does change in skin color contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis?
A change in skin color can definitely contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis. This is because chemicals and hormones are released to keep the body in balance.
What are some example of ions and how they are contribute to homeostasis?
some examples of ions are water and i don't know how they are related to homeostasis.
What is a normal pH level for the liver?
A neutral pH is maintained in the liver to optimise enzyme activity and maintain homeostasis.
Which organ and glands have a role in glucose homeostasis?
liver,kidneys and pancreas
How does the excretory system contribute to homeostasis?
It gets rid of the body's wastes.
The pancreas and liver work together to maintain homeostasis through what?
