"30 functioning of the liver" typically refers to the liver's functional capacity or health, often expressed through a scoring system like the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) or Child-Pugh score. A score of 30 would indicate severe liver dysfunction, suggesting significant impairment in liver function and potentially severe liver disease. In clinical practice, such a score may prompt considerations for advanced treatment options, including liver transplantation. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation and implications of liver function scores.

How does the liver help your body stay in balance?
The function of the liver is to get rid of toxins from the blood. Obviously, like the kidneys, the sound and healthy functioning of the liver is of great importance.

When you have 60 percent of your liver but have cirrhosis of the liver?
It means that 60% of your liver is currently functioning normally, but the other 40% has stopped functioning and is cirrhotic. (Not that your liver is distinctly split 60:40, with one side working but the other not - cirrhotic cells will be interspersed with normal cells). Your liver can regenerate itself with just 5% left working, however cirrhotic cells will remain (i.e the cannot be reabsorbed by the body). If this does happen, it may mean having part of the cirrhotic liver surgically removed.
What is liver desiese?

Can a liver be transplanted?
Yes, part of a living human liver can be transplanted unto another living human - the liver part will grow into a fully functioning liver withing weeks/months.
What is Intrinsic liver disease?
Intrinsic liver disease refers to liver damage that occurs within the liver itself (the liver cells or liver tissue are directly affected), rather than being caused by a problem outside the liver. Common causes of intrinsic liver disease include: Viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B or C) – infections that inflame and damage liver cells Alcohol-related liver disease – damage from long-term heavy alcohol use Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH) – fat buildup and inflammation in the liver Autoimmune hepatitis – when the immune system attacks liver cells Drug- or toxin-induced liver injury – damage from certain medications, supplements, or chemicals Genetic liver disorders – such as hemochromatosis or Wilson disease Symptoms can include: Fatigue Loss of appetite Nausea Abdominal discomfort (especially on the right side) Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) Dark urine or pale stools Swelling in the abdomen or legs in advanced cases Doctors usually diagnose intrinsic liver disease using blood tests (liver function tests), imaging (ultrasound/CT/MRI), and sometimes a liver biopsy. The term "intrinsic" is often used to distinguish liver problems from pre-hepatic causes (before the liver, such as blood disorders) and post-hepatic causes (after the liver, such as bile duct blockage).
How can you live without a liver?

What does homogeneous hepatic activity mean?
Homogeneous hepatic activity refers to an even distribution of radiotracer uptake in the liver on a nuclear medicine scan. This finding suggests that the liver tissue is functioning uniformly without any areas of abnormal activity. It is a normal finding and usually indicates healthy liver function.
What is the pH of liver?
The pH of liver tissue is around 7.2 to 7.6, which is slightly alkaline. This pH range is important for maintaining the optimal functioning of enzymes and other biochemical processes in the liver.
