Sclerosis or cirrhosis as it is more commonly known is a disease that progresses to slowly effect the proper functioning of the liver. In this article, we try to tell you more about this disease, the causes for the same, its symptoms, the treatment process.

Although you cannot live without your liver, it is an accessory organ for the digestive system. For the digestive system it makes bile which helps to break down fats.

There are a number of possibilities. You should consult your doctor. Be sure to tell him accurately how much alcohol you drink.

Histopathology is the study of the diseases of cells. So the histo department would examine cells from a liver biopsy to see what is causing the liver disease, the liver being made up of millions and millions of cells.

yes

Lipase cannot function properly upon the substance it is attempting to digest without the help of bile which breaks down that substance. (in digestion the "substance" is any fats or lipids) This all occurs after leaving the stomach and entering the small intestine.

Liver cirrhosis is progressive scarring of the hepatocytes (liver cells), leading to loss of liver function. Cirrhosis is not a disease in itself- it is the term used for when a liver has become scarred beyond repair, due to any cause (whether viral, auto-immune, alcohol etc...). I.e it is the stage before "complete liver failure".

The digestive system contains the liver.

One percent of normal liver function is not sufficient to maintain life. Your friend will need a liver transplant, providing she is a candidate, if she is to survive much longer.

As you probably know Heart-Liver is where your Heart and Liver swap places over the course of 2 to 5 days.
If you personally have been diagnosed with the stage one Heart-Liver (where they start to move) then it is best that you get a mild painkiller to take away the soreness and the aching in your stomach.
If you have been diagnosed with stage two Heart-Liver (where they have comletely changed places) then there is nothing you can do.
As in both stages if you get Heart-Liver there is nothing you can do but bear the slight pain in stage 1. Most people do not even notice they have Heart-Liver but it is a very rare disease that doesn't affect your life in anyway. It will not shorten your life, cause you long term pain or make operating impossible.
There is nothing you can do about Heart-Liver but it doesn't affect you.

No, although the liver and the stomach are right next to each other they are still separateorgans
