Introduction. Many diseases and conditions can contribute to elevated liver enzymes. Common causes include viral and autoimmune hepatitis, fatty liver, and bile duct diseases, but, in uncommon cases like liver involvement in endocrine disorders, liver failure is also seen. Adrenal insufficiency is the rarest endocrine disorder complicating the liver. In the previously reported cases of adrenal ...

INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis is an emerging infection, with fewer than 80 cases reported in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION Also, a few cases of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis, accompanied by liver involvement as part of a disseminated disease, have been reported. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case report of an isolated liver involvement of this fungal inf...

Introduction Patients suffering from amyloidosis frequently have liver involvement. Although some of the stigmata of chronic diffuse liver disease may be seen and some liver function tests may be abnormal, particularly the bromsulphthalein excretion and alkaline phosphatase, the presence of hepatic involvement in amyloidosis is usually of little clinical significance (Brandt, Cathcart and Cohen...

results overall, 161 children at a mean age of 9.25 ± 3.37 years (age range = 1 - 15 years old) hospitalized with a definite diagnosis of the hydatid cyst between 2001 and 2014 were studied. the male-to-female ratio was 1.6:1. the most commonly involved organ was the lung (67.1%), followed by the liver (44.1%) and a combined liver and lung involvement was found in 15.5% of the patients. the cys...

Wilson's disease is an inborn error of copper metabolism characterized by inability of the liver to excrete copper into the bile, with excessive deposition of copper primarily in the liver and in the brain. The lentiform nuclei are involved, most often followed by involvement of the thalami, the pons, midbrain, superior and inferior cerebellar peduncles, and the cerebellar nuclei. Predominant i...

Acute liver failure (ALF) is an acute medical emergency which carries high mortality without liver transplantation. Various hepatotropic viruses, drug induced liver injury, auto immune hepatitis, and metabolic liver diseases are the commonly implicated etiologic agents. Liver involvement in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is quite common, but acute liver failure is its rare complication. Neurolo...

We report the case of a young woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with severe liver involvement and pulmonary shunting. The medical imaging in this patient illustrates the severe shunting that can occur in these patients who often are asymptomatic. By showing this case, we want to highlight the role of liver transplantation in HHT with hepatic involvement.

Histologic examination of liver tissue obtained by needle biopsy has vastly improved knowledge of hepatic diseases and of systemic diseases with hepatic involvement. In addition, liver biopsy has become a valuable tool in solving difficult clinical diagnostic problems. Diagnosis of tuberculosis has been established by means of liver biopsy on numerous occasions.’4 The extent of hepatic involvem...

Focal, segmental, and diffuse liver pathologies have been described in the literature. This article describes a pattern in which liver pathology is confined to a lobe. This lobar pattern has not been described previously to our knowledge. Herein, we illustrate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of diffuse lobar involvement patterns in various ...
