Hepatic-based Inborn Errors of Metabolism
نویسنده
چکیده
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are a vast, diverse, and heterogeneous set of genetic disorders. Hepatic-based IEMs are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and represent a common indication for liver transplantation (LTx) in the paediatric population. This review focuses on four of the most common hepatic-based IEMs where Tx, either as whole organ liver or as isolated hepatocytes, may be an option: familial amyloid polyneuropathy, Wilson’s disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and phenylketonuria.

متن کاملHepatic Control of Energy Metabolism via the Autonomic Nervous System
Although the human liver comprises approximately 2.8% of the body weight, it plays a central role in the control of energy metabolism. While the biochemistry of energy substrates such as glucose, fatty acids, and ketone bodies in the liver is well understood, many aspects of the overall control system for hepatic metabolism remain largely unknown. These include mechanisms underlying the ascerta...

متن کاملThe Eck fistula in animals and humans.
In all species so far studied, including man, portacaval shunt causes the same changes in liver morphology, including hepatocyte atrophy, fatty infiltration, deglycogenation, depletion and disorganization of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and its lining polyribosomes, and variable but less specific damage to other organelles. Many, perhaps all, biosynthetic processes are quickly depresse...
