The present invention can be processed using a computer with one or more medical images of the liver, liver surface and quantifying the nodules, comprising the calculating the liver surface nodules score, about how to determine at least one hepatic fibrosis or hepatic cirrhosis in a subject.BACK...
While non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a leading cause of end-stage liver disease, most patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease do not develop cirrhosis and its complications.

Fibrosis itself causes no symptoms, and it can be difficult to diagnose as imaging tests often fail to detect any changes until the scarring is extensive. The only indication at this stage may be abnormalities in blood tests used to evaluate liver function.2 Cirrhosis As scar tissues increas...
When liver damage occurs, its detoxification mechanism does not effectively function.The result is a buildup of toxins and byproducts in the blood, including ammonia. Elevated levels of ammonia can be caused by cirrhosis, alcoholism or liver damage caused by hepatitis.High ammonia levels can have...
but it can damage the liver before this occurs. Every time you drink, acetaldehyde binds to fat cells and proteins in the liver, triggering an inflammatory response that damages and kills liver cells.6Heavy or ongoing alcohol consumption increases the risk of liver diseases, such ascirrhosis(sev...
