Can a person with kidney failure eat liver and kidney meat?
they can but they are better off not eating organs
Why don't alcohol containers have warning labels about liver disease?
They actually kind of do. It says its harmful for health, but they do not specify the risks. If they did, the whole can/bottle would be full!Liver disease, depression, because alcohol does causes you to act... emotional. Raised blood pressure, high risk of stroke, stomach disorders,cancers, particularly of the mouth, throat and gullet; hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver; malnutrition; accidents, at home, at work and on the roads; suicide are the most common problems alcohol drinking brings.
How old is liver pool liver building?
The liver buildings were built in 1788 the year of the loin (Chinese) they are famous world wide and were designed by David Platte.
How do you diagnose Liver disease?
The best way to start is to see a primary care medical provider- a Physician, Physician Assistant or a Nurse Practitioner, who can order appropriate laboratory tests, take a medical history and perform a physical exam. Laboratory is generally ordered, usually a chemistry panel known as an SMA-22 or Comprehensive Metabolic panel, which includes liver enzymes. Then, if the liver enzymes show abnormalities, and/or you have a history of risk factors for various types of hepatitis, and/or abnormal findings on exam, a hepatitis screening panel is ordered. There are a number of different types of liver diseases, and depending on lab, physical exam results, and medical history, other tests may be necessary including: imagings (CT scans, Ultrasound, MRI, others), endoscopy (using a fiber optic tube passed through the esophagus to directly view the gallbladder duct, etc) and possibly liver biopsy, or even angiography (imaging of the blood vessels in and around the liver). Interpretation of abnormal liver enzymes and/or hepatitis panel can be complicated, so it is necessary to have these results gone over with a provider, and to receive the recommended tests/proceedures. Depending on the specific disease, some are serious, some are not, some are curable, some are not.
Why was liver used as a source of this enzyme?
liver is an organic compound that contains HIGH levels of catalase (enzyme)
What substance does the liver produce?
Aside from bile and cholestrol, the liver produces glycogen (storage molecule for glucose)and urea (product of deamination of amino acids, finishes in urine)
How does the liver do its job?
When the blood glucose concentration becomes excessive; liver converts the glucose into glycogen. Liver converts the glycogen back to the glucose when energy is needed.
2: Metabolism
Liver is responsible for the metabolism of proteins and fats. It synthesizes blood clotting factors and stores various types of vitamins.
3:Bile secretion
The hypatocystes (cells) of liver secrete bile. The bile is stored in gallbladder.The bile duct of liver and cystic duct of gallbladder form common bile duct. The common bile duct join the pancreatic duct, the bile from common bile duct and pancreatic juice from pancreatic duct empty into duodenum (of small intestine) through the sphincter of oddi (valve) if it is opened. The opening of this valve is controlled by a hormone called Cholecystokinin.
Bile juice helps in emulsificaton of fats.
Bile is alkaline solution. Its molecules have dual nature (one end is attracted to water molecule while other is attracted to fat molecule). Thus its molecules remain in between water molecules and fat molecules (emulsification process).
If bile molecules were not present between fats and water, the fat molecules would be repelled by water molecules and be attracted to each other. The fat molecules would merge together because fats are insoluble in water. The merged fats would not be easily broken down with lipase (fat digesting enzyme).
4:Breakdown of old red blood cells
Liver breaks down the old red blood cells into bilurubin. Bilurubin is excreted in bile and urine.
5: Detoxification
Liver contains macrophages called Kupffer cells. These cells engulf and breakdown toxic matter such as microorganisms, dead cells and chemicals. Kupffer cells ingest microorganism by phagocytosis. The engulfed microorganism is called phagosome. Lysosmes in the cytoplasm of kupffer cell, fuse with the phagosome and release digestive enzymes. These enzymes breakdown and kill the microorganism.
But how does kupffer cell identify toxic matter?
There are receptors for the toxic matter on the surface of kupffer cells. The harmful particle and these receptors of kupffer cell can fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The harmful particle is then engulfed by kupffer cell.
No. A liver fluke is an animal that only parasites off the livers of mammals. But in and of itself, it is not a mammal, it's a parasite.
Can you take a section of a healthy person's liver and use it to repair an unhealthy one?
you cannot use a healthy liver to repair a damaged one but the liver is the only organ that can regrow so part of a liver can be transplanted and will grow to a normal size for that person and the donors will also grow back to its original size
Why a starved liver has less glycogen then a well fed liver?
The blood-glucose level begins to drop several hours after a meal, leading to a decrease in insulin secretion and a rise in glucagon secretion; glucagon is secreted by the α cells of the pancreas in response to a low blood-sugar level in the fasting state. In same way,insulin signals the fed state, this fed condition leads to the secretion of insulin, which is one of the two most important regulators of fuel metabolism,the secretion of the hormone insulin by the β cells of the pancreas is stimulated by glucose. It stimulates glycogen synthesis in both muscle and the liver and suppresses gluconeogenesis by the liver.
Is Ascites a sign of liver problems?
Ascites is a common complication of severe cirrhosis of the liver
Explosion
What happens if you lose part of your liver?
If you lose part of your liver the body needs it so much it will actually grow back.
Where does the digestive tract begin?
Well, I don't know If I really understand the question but the digestion begins when the food enters the mouth, that is when teeth start crushing (mechanical), and the tongue forms the food into a ball, and salaiva covers the food and softens it, so it can go through the oesophagus.
I hope I answered your question. =)
Is compaction part of the digestive function?
Compaction is a part of the digestive function which limits the size of food so it can more readily be broken down and transported. It plays a large part in the intestines where it squeezes the water and nutrients from the food.
How do you help maintain highlands in My sims?
'well first you have to find all the spots that have no grass...then you have spots left over so you wait a day and she will have more items. Now is the hard part and im still stuck on it,you see the part were it tells you to help maintain but there is nothing to maintain? well talk to her and say maintain and then go back and say that your done but she says"that's it!,I gess were waisting our time" soo im stuck still! '
Everyone keeps telling people the wrong answer!!! It is so annoying; what you have to do is get gold in paragliding and that goal for 'Maintain the highlands' will disappear but first you must:
- Help sims by completing tasks eg. some sims ask for a chocolate cake, or a picture of something. This will get your star level up and unlock the mountain.
- Then complete the mountain tasks, until she introduces paragliding in the mountain as well as in the highlands.
- Then go back to Marie in the Highlands (the paragliding women) and get gold in paragliding.
It took me a while to get gold but here are some tips I realised made it easier on the way.
Paragliding tips
- Collect all of the blues gems one after the other in a chain, and don't miss one out. This will then allow you to get purple gems. Then do the same with the purple, and it will introduce dark pink gems. Do the same again and it will show gold gems. Each colour is worth more points, therefore you will get gold quicker.
- Another good tip, is to stay at the top of the screen and not to collect gems. Only collect the ones at the top and your more likely not to get hit by a bird because you get 10 points for every metre you go.
To get the gold medal you must earn 22000 points.
Hope this helped.
Is 240 a high liver score when you are drinking to much alcohol?
Yes! The high score for a 40 year old should be 190
