Liver

I know of 6 functions. 1- Phagocytosis and antigen presentation 2- the synthesis of plasma proteins 3- the removal of circulating hormones 4- the removal of antibodies 5- the removal or storage of toxins and 6- the synthesis and secretion of bile.

All organs have been successfully transplanted except the brain.

Typically yes, for about 2 years at the max. *This may vary from product to product.

An SGPT test is a test which determines if the liver is damaged or diseased. It measure the levels of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in blood.

A hypoechoic lesion is an abnormal area that can be seen during an ultrasound examination because it is darker than the surrounding tissue. These are dark tissues or structures that reflect relatively few of the ultrasound waves directed at them. Such abnormalities can develop anywhere in the body and do not necessarily indicate cancer. Blood tests, biopsies, and further radiological studies may be required to determine the composition of a hypoechoic lesion, sometimes referred to simply as a lesion.

Hepatic macrophages are special phagocytic cells, also called Kupffer cells, that line the sinusoids and remove debris from the blood.

Scanning times may vary, depending on the specific radioisotope used. It most often begins within minutes after injection. The radionuclide scanner, sometimes called a gamma camera or scintillation camera, is positioned above the upper abdomen

It is called the hepatic portal circulation. A portal system is a system of blood vessels that begin in capillaries and end in capillaries without passing through the heart. The hepatic portal system begins in the capillaries in the digestive tract wall and ends in the capillaries in the liver.

No, not unless your watching your cholesterol.

We assume they are just boiled in water.

There is no one answer, unfortunately. Everybody will take a different time, even to the point that two near-identical people with identical cancers will take different times.

This makes it impossible to predict how long anyone with terminal cancer has left to live.

Bile salts break down fat globules in the small intestines to allow a more soluble product for easier absorption.

A liver is a three-dimensional structure, and you have given only one dimension. A liver length of 19.6 centimeters is within normal limits. A liver height of 19.6 centimeters is quite large and not normal, unless it is consistent with a large-sized person. Talk with your health care provider to clarify whether this finding has any meaning for your health.

The gall bladder is a small greenish sac under the liver. This organ is important since it contains bile that is essential in the process of digesting fats.

Yes, it is fairly common for patients with cirrhosis and general liver problems to have issues with blood clotting. (Read: blood failing to clot, e.g after blood tests). It may also cause an issue with bruising - both randomly and after blood tests.

If bleeding after blood tests is a problem, press very firmly for as long as possible on the site, and ask the nurse to cover the site with cotton wool/gauze and tape, rather than a plaster; it provides more pressure and absorbency.

If you find bruising is becoming a problem, taking an ice-pack with you for after blood tests can be really useful to prevent swelling/bruising. Or just go home an stick a bag of frozen peas on your hand.

Or, if all else fails, you have no ice pack and a bruise is forming, get an ice cream from the hospital canteen/shop to use as an ice pack.

As a doctor I would recommend seeing a specialist immediately as this can be a very fatal condition.

Yes it mostly enters in the liver.

Dry liver is a fictional disease used to have an excuse to drink (a lot of) alcohol.

It means that your liver is bigger than it should be. Can happen from drinking too much, or from disease. You need to listen to your doc and follow the recommendations on how to live your life.

The digestive tract and the liver are connected by the hepatic portal vein. This allows nutrients to pass from the digestive tract to the liver for processing.
