The liver plays a central role in hemostasis, as it is the site of synthesis of most procoagulant and anticoagulant factors. It also synthesizes many fibrinolytic proteins, and is an important source of thrombopoietin. Furthermore, it is involved in clearance of many hemostatic and fibrinolytic components. Consequently, patients with a decreased synthetic capacity of the liver acquire a complex...

Liver transplantation, whether living donor (LDLT) or deceased donor (DDLT), is currently the treatment of choice for patients with advanced liver disease. While initially the focus was on acceptable short-term survival, currently the efforts are aimed at improving longterm prognosis. Thus, focus is now on the quality of life after liver transplantation, as well as prediction and management of ...

INTRODUCTION Renal dysfunction is common in chronic liver disease. The cause of this renal dysfunction is either multi-organ involvement in acute conditions or secondary to advanced liver disease. OBJECTIVES The study was undertaken to assess the renal function in chronic liver diseases and find out the association of alteration of renal function with gradation of liver disease. (assessed by ...

introduction liver abscess developing during hospital stay in pediatric patients on dialysis for acute kidney injury has been previously unreported. impaired immunity, prolonged use of antibiotics, diabetes and malnutrition predispose to liver abscess in chronic hemodialysis patients. case presentation we reported a case of liver abscess developing in a 6-year-old boy admitted with sepsis and m...

INTRODUCTION Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a visor complication among patients with cirrhosis of the liver, manifesting during stress, exertion, transjuglar intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), or liver transplantation. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is reported to be most common cause of post transplant mortality after rejection of 7% to 21%. AIM To determine the frequency of cirrhotic cardiomyo...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic environmental and industrial cumulative pollutant that affects many organs, especially the liver. The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of green tea on cadmium-induced hepatic dysfunction and oxidative stress in rats. Adult male Wistar rats were administered cadmium by injection of 20 micromoles/kg bw/every 3 days for six months. This s...

Although COVID-19 affects the respiratory system, extrapulmonary manifestations frequently occur, including encephalopathy and liver damage. Here, we want to call attention a possible connection between brain dysfunctions, in which ammonia can play role targeting astrocytes. Importantly, astrocyte dysfunction produce future and/or long-term neurological consequences.

The problems among obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), fatty liver, metabolic dysfunction have been prevalent, and diagnostic criteria as non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) has used in practice. When diagnosing NAFLD, to exclude other related diseases was necessary, including excessive alcohol intake. international experts proposed the proper term from NAFLD associated (MAFLD). MAFLD include evid...

However, the precise mechanisms behind these findings remain unclear. We investigated features prognostic factors liver 26 patients. The had markedly higher WBC, neutrophils, CRP, frequency oxygen administration lower PaO2/FIO2 rat...
