Liver failure is a common and serious problem that carries a high risk of mortality in patients with both acute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure(AoCLF). The liver failure syndrome is characterized by jaundice, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hemodynamic instability, and hepat...
Histologically, melanoma dissemination is characterized by leukemoid tumour infiltration of the liver sinusoids leading to obstruction, hepatocellular death, and liver failure [19]. Clinically, hepatic infiltration of MM is difficult to distinguish from other primary causes of hepatitis. Biochemical signs t...
Liver cell damagein liver failure depends on the type, duration, and severity of the toxic agent. The deterioration of liver functions, includingdetoxificationand metabolic and regulatory functions, leads to accumulation of various toxic substances such asbilirubin,bile acids, ammonia,protein breakdownpro...

Currently, laparoscopic liver resection is preferred to avoid postoperative liver failure in these circumstances. We describe laparoscopic treatment of three patients with a single sub glissonian HCC, using small skin incisions. The tumor lesions were located in segment 3, segment 6 and segment 8, ...
Despite anticoagulation with heparin in both groups no purpural skin lesions or internal hemorrhage was observed during autopsy. Discussion This preclinical study evaluated a new type of albumin dialysis, the Hepa Wash procedure. The extracorporeal procedure was used for the first time in the ...
Our study indicated a significant decrease in the failure rate of VCTE measurements over the years. While we suggested the introduction of the XL probe as one potential reason, another plausible explanation is the increased proficiency of operators during time, as clinicians become more adept with ...
Abdominal ultrasound is also a valuable test, determining the “density” of the liver parenchyma and the possible presence of focal lesions (tumours, abscesses) within the liver. However, it has its drawbacks–it is an invasive procedure, has its complications, and numerous contraindications (...
(yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, and nausea. However, in the early stages, liver cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms. Risk factors for liver cancer include chronic infection with hepatitis B or C viruses, excessive alcohol consumption, fatty liver disease, exposure to ...
