Is minoxidil bad for the liver?
It can't be good for the liver and although the amount entering the body systemically is small it must have a small if negligible effect.

Where is the liver located in relation to heart?
It is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity, resting just below the diaphram. The liver lies to the right of the stomach and overlies the gallbladder. It is connected to two large blood vessels, one called the hepatic artery and one called the portal vein. The liver is in a laterally inferior position to the hearts location
Where does the hepatic duct lead?
There are two hepatic ducts one from each lobe of the liver. They converge to form the common hepatic duct which then leads to the common bile duct. This leads through the sphincter of Oddi and the ampulla of Vater into the duodenum portion of the small intestine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hepatic_duct#mediaviewer/File:Biliary_system_new.svg

What is a enhancing lesion on a liver CT?
There are several phases to a liver CT, or any CT. I am not a physician, but I just read up on the stages of a CT (with the IV dye contrast).
There is the Arterial Phase, the Venous Phase, and several others in the CT, which takes about 35 seconds on average to perform once on the scanner.
Most of the enhancing lesions ARE benign, but don't quote me.
Please, someone with medical knowledge help this person.

Anabolic processes - Can provide energy to build up macromolecules from their components, for example DNA replication, protein synthesis and polysaccharide synthesis. Movement - It can provide energy for cellular movement such as muscle contractions, ciliary actions and spindle action in cell division. Active transport (AT) - Can provide energy to allow materials to move against a concentration gradient. Reactivity of chemicals - Makes chemicals more reactive an example would be phosphorylation in the glycolysis stage of cellular respiation. Secretion - It is used to form vesicles in cells, these are vital for the secretion of unwanted products. The liver would have a high amount of mitochondria because there is a huge number of biochemical reactions taking place. According to the 1961 Peter Mitchell theory of chemi-osmotic It is the energy of these highly charged membranes that synthesize ATP. The mitochondra perform the Krebs cycle.

I think sometimes speaking for myself I felt guilt once I figured out his tactics because I felt in some sense I had ruined all he had which were these tactics. I knew he was deep down a weak man and I had revealed that by confronting him on his maniuplative tactics. I even told him he wasnt very good at it as he was too transparent. I do not suggest that!I think we know these types are pathetic and once we have stripped away who they are (which is based on deceit and games) we feel a little bad because we have exposed them. Most decent people don't enjoy seeing people suffer. Also there is the pity we can feel as we realise they are so small.Do not feel guilty too long. Realise you are reacting to circumstances which are craymaking and unpredictable. No person can function healthy in that. Survival instincts come into play and sometimes they are not healthy but they somehow pull us through, or least allow us to think they do.I think you should take a hard look at your situation. Do not look at why. Look at how you feel and what this is doing to you. Then start taking action to get out of the nightmare of being with a Narcassist.

Only if the damage is continuous and ongoing. If it isn't, then no, the liver is one of the few amazing parts of our bodies that can regenerate. It can heal if given the proper amount of time to do so.

Unfortunately, only about 5% of patients with metastatic cancer (from primary tumors in the colon or rectum) fall into this group.
Why does macerated liver react faster than whole liver on hydrogen peroxide?
By macerating the liver, you are increasing its surface area (SA) therefore, the enzyme catalase can break down the hydrogen peroxide at a much faster and easier rate.
