Liver Disease Stages 10 min read Liver failure happens when your liver starts to shut down. This is usually because it's become damaged and can't be repaired. It's a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often, liver failure happens gradually, over many years,...
Liver disease can get better if it is diagnosed and treated in the early stages. Lifestyle modifications, drugs, and treatment of the underlying cause can improve conditions such as inflammation and mild fibrosis. However, later stages, such as cirrhosis, are usually incurable, but symptoms and ...

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD), including alcoholic hepatitis, is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide. ALD is defined by the accretion of neutral lipids and lipid metabolism disruption prior to liver damage. Obesity is another risk factor for ALD development; the incidence of ALD increases by...
Liver cirrhosis is classified into two stages: compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis. Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by the presence of ascites, variceal bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy, with a difference of 2 years of survival versus 12 years of compensated disease [1]. The main...
A Johns Hopkins Children's Center scientist reports success in animal studies in preventing a cascade of brain pathology that appears to both cause and signal the final and fatal stages of acute and chronic liver disease in children and adults. The findings ("Hyperammonemic Encepalopathy") appea...
Liver cirrhosis is the final consequence of chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis in the liver mainly affected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), excess alcohol intake, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) [1,2]. The prevalence of cirrhosis keeps rising, and...

Early stages of a disease, characterized by tiny signs and structures, have to be visualized when a new treatment is being studied; this requires the availability of highly sensitive imaging methods and high spatial resolution images. The standard reference in clinical pathology is the histological ...
We previously reported that frozen PSC-derived hepatic stem cells were able to rescue Crigler-Najjar inherited disease mice, i.e., in the context of non-fulminant liver diseases where transplanted cells have time to differentiate into fully mature hepatocytes [25]. The question that remains is ...
