Long-term L-carnitine supplementation prevents development of liver cancer
A study will be published on March 21, 2009 in World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses the question. A research group in King Saud University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investigated, for the first time, the role of carnitine, a naturally occurring compound that is synthesized mainly in the liver, during the development of hepatocarcinogenesis. view more (2009-03-24)
Risk threshold of daily alcohol intake and drinking duration in liver injury?
Alcoholic threshold effect rather than a dose-response effect on mortality from alcohol-related liver injury. Alcohol intake, rather than the type of alcoholic beverage, was more significant to liver injury. view more (2008-05-21)
Worrying rise in deaths from alcoholic liver disease
Deaths from alcoholic liver disease have increased in the West Midlands in the past decade, reflecting a nationwide trend, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. The study was set in three boroughs in the West Midlands with a total population of 837,000. Death rates were obtained from the Office for National Statistics. Deaths from primary... view more...

Clearance of hepatitis C viral infection after liver transplantation
Touching stories of living donor transplantation are continuously happening in hospitals. One of these stories is reported recently in the August 14 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its shining significance in hepatology. view more (2007-08-29)
Early promise for steroid-free liver transplantation in children (p 2068)
Results of a preliminary study into paediatric liver transplantation in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that successful transplantation could take place without the need for steroid treatment-with potential health benefits for transplant recipients. Steroids have been central to immunosuppressive therapy since the early days of... view more... (2003-12-17)
Chemotherapy given directly to the liver improves survival for patients with colorectal cancer

New technique improves outcome for living donor liver transplants
The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) is one of only a few centers in Canada that perform living donor liver transplantation, a surgical procedure developed in the late 1980s that expands the organ donor pool. About 80 liver transplants are done a year in Alberta, 10 of those being living-donor. view more (2008-03-19)

Large DNA stretches, not single genes, shut off as cells mature

Discovery of good -- and bad -- liver stem cells raises possibility of new treatment
