How does the liver contribute to homeostasis?

Answer 1

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.
