  2. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    The hepatocyte is a cell in the body that manufactures serum albumin, fibrinogen, and the prothrombin group of clotting factors (except for Factors 3 and 4). It is the main site for the synthesis of lipoproteins, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, complement, and glycoproteins. Hepatocytes manufacture their own structural proteins and intracellular ...

  3. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    GGT is a microsomal enzyme found in hepatocytes, biliary epithelial cells, renal tubules, pancreas, and intestines. It helps in glutathione metabolism by transporting peptides across the cell membrane. Much like ALP, GGT measurements are usually elevated if cholestasis is present. [9]

  4. Liver cytology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_cytology

    Hepatocytes constitute about 80% of the cell population of the liver, with the other 20% being occupied by Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, endothelial cells and mesothelial cells, which are not exactly characteristic of the liver, but are present in the liver samples. [2] Histologically speaking, hepatocytes have specific characteristics.

  5. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_dysfunction...

    NAFLD was defined by the presence of excess fat in the liver that cannot be explained by another factor, such as excessive alcohol use (>21 standard drinks/week for men and >14 for women in the USA; >30 g daily for men and >20 g for women in UK and EU, >140 g/week for men and >70 g/week for women in Asia-Pacific), liver injury caused by drugs ...

  6. Hepatocellular adenoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocellular_adenoma

    The hepatocytes are on a regular reticulin scaffold and less or equal to three cell thick. The histologic diagnosis of hepatic adenomas can be aided by reticulin staining. In hepatic adenomas, the reticulin scaffold is preserved and hepatocytes do not form layers of four or more hepatocytes, as is seen in hepatocellular carcinoma.

    One study found that men with moderate-to-high levels of exhaustion had a 2.7-fold increased risk of heart attack within five years and a 2.25 higher risk within ten years. The study also found a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_hepatitis

    Autoimmune hepatitis can develop in people of any race or age but occurs most frequently in women. [41] [42] [43] Eighty percent of cases are the type 1 subtype with women being affected 4 times more often than men; for the type 2 subtype, women are affected 10 times more often than men. [44] [45]

    Transformation to hepatocellular carcinoma is more common in men. [2] Currently, if the hepatic adenoma is >5 cm, increasing in size, symptomatic lesions, has molecular markers associated with HCC transformation, rising level of liver tumor markers such as alpha fetoprotein , the patient is a male, or has a glycogen storage disorder , the ...
