Ninety percent of patients with this disease are women between the ages of 35 and 60.

The liver digests nothing.

Yes.

A newborn's liver works when he is born it just is not fully matured. That is why jaundice is a problem for some newborns since the liver can not fully excrete the excess bilirubin resulting from red blood cell break down.

End-stage cirrhosis and kidney failure can increase the risk of developing infections, including bowel infections. The compromised liver and kidney functions can lead to a weakened immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections. Additionally, the accumulation of toxins and fluid imbalances associated with these conditions can disrupt normal gut flora and gastrointestinal function, further increasing the likelihood of bowel infections. However, a direct cause-and-effect relationship between these two conditions and bowel infections can vary based on individual health circumstances.

That depends on the operation. An uncomplicated appendectomy might take 45 minutes. A bowel resection might take three hours. Every operation is different.

SGPT is released into the blood when the heart or liver is damaged. Some issues that cause elevated SGPT levels are viral hepatitis, diabetes, congestive heart failure, liver damage, bile duct problems, infectious mononucleosis, or myopathy. To cure the elevated SGPT levels, the underlying cause needs to be determined and treated or cured.

Blood tests may be used to test liver function or to evaluate risk factors in the patient's history.

They have a catabolic action on substances, breaking them down into metabolites

sorry i dont know :(

Reduced glutathione is believed to help to cure fatty liver but research is still continuing on this matter.

The phagocytic macrophage that resides in the liver is known as the Kupffer cell. These specialized cells play a crucial role in the immune response by engulfing pathogens, dead cells, and other debris in the blood. Kupffer cells also contribute to the maintenance of liver homeostasis and participate in the metabolism of various substances. Their strategic location within the liver allows them to effectively monitor and respond to changes in the bloodstream.

Yes, exactly. That is what the term means. It can be caused by any number of things: a virus or bacteria or chronic alcohol intake.

In the center of a liver lobule, there is a central vein. This area collects the blood that contains liver sinusoids. That blood is then filtered back to the hepatic vein.

• Sleeping less than 4 hours effects your liver badly. When you are sleeping your liver has a rest because when you do not sleep your liver is working continuously and fast and a liver performs more than 500 functions a day like detoxifying blood. So when you do not sleep, it badly effects your immune system and heart. So sleep well and proper if you do not want your liver effected.

Stay away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Use Milk Thistle and vitamin B. It also helps to reduce your intake of dairy and fats for a few weeks so your liver has time to recover.

hepatic portal system

FINDINGS: The right lobe measures 5.6 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm and the left

lobe measures 4.7 x 1.4 x 1.4 cm. There are bilateral solid

nodules and a nodule along the left isthmus. On the right, 2

solid nodules are present. The larger is more inferiorly located

measuring 2.1 x 1.1 x 1.5 cm and is diffusely hypervascular. The

smaller lesion that is slightly more superiorly measuring 0.9 x

2.7 x 0.6 cm and is not as hypervascular. The left lobe has a

nodule in the upper pole measuring 0.8 x 2.4 x 0.5 cm which is

also diffusely vascular. Smaller nodules are seen in the lower

pole measuring 3 mm each. There is a 1.2 x 0.6 x 1 cm nodule

along the left isthmus, also diffusely vascular.

IMPRESSION: Multiple solid and hypervascular nodules bilaterally.

Correlation with nuclear medicine imaging is recommended, if

clinically indicated.
