Fatty liver disease ( FLD ), also known as hepatic steatosis and steatotic liver disease ( SLD ), is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. [ 1] Often there are no or few symptoms. [ 1][ 2] Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. [ 1] Complications may include cirrhosis, liver cancer ...
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a rare liver disease, characterised by the growth of nodules within the liver, resulting in liver hyperplasia.While in many cases it is asymptomatic and thus goes undetected – or is only discovered incidentally while investigating some other medical condition – in some people it results in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH).
Cirrhosis, also known as liver cirrhosis or hepatic cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease, is a condition of the liver in which the normal functioning tissue, or parenchyma, is replaced with scar tissue ( fibrosis) and regenerative nodules as a result of chronic liver disease. [ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ] Damage to the liver leads to repair of liver tissue ...
Liver regeneration. Liver regeneration is the process by which the liver is able to replace damaged or lost liver tissue. The liver is the only visceral organ with the capacity to regenerate. [ 1][ 2] The liver can regenerate after partial hepatectomy or injury due to hepatotoxic agents such as certain medications, toxins, or chemicals. [ 3]
Stages of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, progressing from healthy, to steatosis (fat accumulation), inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease ( MASLD ), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ), [ a ] is a type of chronic liver disease.
FibroTest. FibroTest, known as FibroSure in the US, is a biomarker test that uses the results of six blood serum tests to generate a score that is correlated with the degree of liver damage in people with a variety of liver diseases. FibroTest has the same prognostic value as a liver biopsy. FibroSure uses quantitative results of five serum ...
Liver disease. Liver disease, or hepatic disease, is any of many diseases of the liver. [ 1] If long-lasting it is termed chronic liver disease. [ 3] Although the diseases differ in detail, liver diseases often have features in common.
Scott L. Friedman (born June 13, 1955) [citation needed] is an American scientist, professor and physician who works in the field of hepatology.Friedman has conducted pioneering research into the underlying causes of scarring, or fibrosis, associated with chronic liver disease, by characterizing the key fibrogenic cell type, the hepatic stellate cell His laboratory has also discovered a novel ...
