What does it mean to have a Well-differentiated hepatocellular liver tumor?
It means that the hepatic tumor cells closely resemble the real and "healthy" hepatic cells. When talking of tumors, the term "well-differentiated" is a "good" indicator. Cells "differentiate" one from the others in order to accomplish their function... for example, pneumonic cells are way different from hepatic cells. They don't have the same function, so they need to undergoing a process "to differentiate" themselves, according to their function. "Poorly differentiated", on the other hand, means that tumor cells do no resemble the tissue where they arose from, and that is, of course, not good at all. One last thing. When talking of hepatocellular tumor, you don't need to say "liver", because the prefix hepato means "liver".

What major role does the liver have in working with the kidneys?
The liver performs over 500 different functions, most of them are associated with its main function as a filter. The kidneys perform fewer functions, but they are just as vital as the liver. If either of these organs stop functioning, death would soon follow.
In addition to filtration of impurities and metabolic toxins from the blood, the liver also plays a role in digestion and metabolism. In digestion, the liver produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder and then delivered into the first portion of the small intestine called the duodenum. The main job of bile is to breakdown fat by a process known as emulsification. In metabolism, the liver stores sugar in the form of glycogen. When the body needs energy, the pancreas releases glucagon, which is a hormone that tells the liver to turn the stored glycogen into glucose (sugar) and release it into the blood stream for the body to use.
Why is it important for the kidney and liver to have water?
kidney and liver need water to keep itself clean from wastes that flow through it
How does the liver produce bile which helps digest food and break down fat?
- Bile breaks lumps of fat into little drops. This increases the surface of fats, so there is more room for breaking it down into smaller products.

What is the liver and what does it do?
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It is also the largest gland in the body. The liver is also considered a gland because, among its various functions, it makes and secretes bile. The liver has a multitude of important and complex functions. Some of these functions are to:
- Manufacture (synthesize) proteins, including albumin (to help maintain the volume of blood) and blood clotting factors
- Synthesize, store, and process (metabolize) fats, including fatty acids (used for energy) and cholesterol
- Metabolize and store carbohydrates, which are used as the source for the sugar (glucose) in blood that red blood cells and the brain use
- Form and secrete bile that contains bile acids to aid in the intestinal absorption (taking in) of fats and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- Eliminate, by metabolizing and/or secreting, the potentially harmful biochemical products produced by the body, such as bilirubin from the breakdown of old red blood cells and ammonia from the breakdown of proteins
- Detoxify, by metabolizing and/or secreting, drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins
What is the function of liver glycogen degradation?
The function of glycogen degradation is to export glucose to other tissues when blood glucose levels are low.
Is it possible to puke your liver?
For starters vomit consists of partly digested food regurgitated via the stomach and mouth due to illness and a range of other causes. Your liver is an entirely separate organ to your stomach and therefore can be damaged by excessive drinking and the only way your liver contributes to vomit is through bile.
Can you have a massage if you have cirrhosis of the liver?
Yes. It depends on the severity.
You should inform your massage therapist so they can adjust the massage to suit your condition. The massage should be gentle and non-circulatory. That means that they should avoid Swedish techniques for the most part. The focus of the session should be to relieve stress and promote relaxation.
Abdominal work, if any, should be very mild due to the possibility of having varices which could rupture and be life-threatening.
Also, if you have been diagnosed with cirrhosis, it would be a good idea to sign a release so that your doctor can communicate with the massage therapist and have them become part of your health care team.
