The liver does things such as clean your blood by removing toxins such as medicine and alcohol, it produces a substance called bile (stored in the gall bladder just below the liver) which helps in breaking down lipids (fat) when we are digesting food, it helps with the clotting of blood at a wound and also helps keep the core temp of our body at a level of 27 degrees celsius.

Base on my experience i lessen my SGPT and SGOT in the the following: during my medical examination i found out that i have elevated SGPT(203) and SGOT(168). after 1 week:SGPT(207) and SGOT(165) I undergo ultrasound. after 2 weeks:SGPT(234) and SGOT(170) after 3 weeks:SGPT(165) and SGOT(90) without eating rice. I only ate oats and pineapple juice. Before I have difficulties in breathing, and now... no more...the doctor said, i have that high level of SGPT and SGOT due to drinking too much of the alcoholic drinks but i already stop 6months ago. Another thing is because of eating foods w/c is high in cholesterol level and fatty foods. At present, my SGPT is now 34 and my SGOT is 40. In addition to this my cholesterol level is 200 w/c is still in normal level(0-200).

I hope I can help anyone.

The following information was taken from Grey's Anatomy of the Human Body: "In the male it weighs from 1.4 to 1.6 kilogm., in the female from 1.2 to 1.4 kilogm. It is relatively much larger in the fetus than in the adult, constituting, in the former, about one-eighteenth, and in the latter about one thirty-sixth of the entire body weight. Its greatest transverse measurement is from 20 to 22.5 cm. Vertically, near its lateral or right surface, it measures about 15 to 17.5 cm., while its greatest antero-posterior diameter is on a level with the upper end of the right kidney, and is from 10 to 12.5 cm. Opposite the vertebral column its measurement from before backward is reduced to about 7.5 cm."

Gastroenterologist or Hepatologist

A doctor who specializes on the liver is a hepatologist. Not to be confused with a herpatologist, who studies snakes.

The answer depends on the type of problem. In our area, gastroenterologists treat most liver problems, but sometimes the treatment of hepatitis is done primarily by infectious disease specialists.

Liver is specialized excretory organ in vertebrates. Red blood cells that have reached their normal life span (in humans ca. 100 days) are sequestered from circulation and broken down; the porphyrin of the hemoglobin molecule is transformed by the liver to compounds known as bile pigments. These are excreted in the bile, discharged into the intestine, and finally eliminated with the feces. Thus, in addition to its many other functions, the liver is an excretory organ specialized for porphyrin excretion.

And moreover, urea is produced in the liver by ornithine- urea cycle. With this process liver helps in osmoregulation.

Scar tissue that forms in the liver is called cirrhosis. Technically cirrhosis is not a "disease"; it is a stage of liver malfunction. In fact, it is the final stage after fibrosis. Cirrhosis of the liver is most often caused by alcoholism, but can be caused by other diseases as well.

It depends on how badly liver function was affected to begin with; after many years of heavy drinking, it is unlikely that highest levels of liver functioning will be attained. However, it should at least be possible to get back to a "low normal" level of liver function.

Although the liver does "regenerate" so long as there is enough healthy liver left to do this, the scarred tissues of the liver are not "reabsorbed"; they do not go away, and instead are now a permanent feature - this is why some liver function may not be completely repairable. In most people the "scarred" hepatocytes are randomly distributed throughout the liver (rather than in one big cluster); this means that the scarred part(s) of the liver cannot be surgically removed to allow new hepatocytes room to regrow.

So, with scarred liver tissue remaining, this means that blood flow around and through the liver may not be considered "optimal", which will impact upon liver functioning. This is why, even in the long run, it may not be completely possible to restore you liver to a "pre-drinking" condition. However, as long as there is still a decent amount of healthy liver to regenerate and you stay clear of drinking, (and attempt to follow a generally healthy lifestyle) your liver function should reach "your optimum" within a year. Generally, this level is enough for a decent quality of life without requiring excessive medical intervention.

It all depends how it has progressed and was ignored. The good news is, if caught early and you follow your doctor's instructions to the letter (no cheating) you can live many years with this condition. However, you will have to constantly take medications for it. This is not to be fooled around with, so seeing your doctor on a regular basis and following his strict orders is imparitive. It is also important not to even go near alcohol and to lower your acidic food intake. Alcohol alone is not always the cause for cirrhosis, but it will irritate it if you do not abuse alcohol. Please keep seeing your doctor (don't put it off) and the more he/she knows about you the more they can help you to lead a long and productive life. Good luck! Marcy
