Inhaling helps heal liver transplant recipients
A new report from a team of researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicates that one of the main complications of liver transplantation can be treated very simply by allowing the transplant recipients to inhale nitric oxide (NO) during the operation in which they received their new liver. view more (2007-08-24)
Radiation dose reduction in liver cancer
A new digital angiography flat panel system reduces the radiation dose to patients undergoing interventional treatment for liver cancer by about one-fourth, a new study shows. view more (2005-10-03)
Early feeding could help reduce liver dysfunction in critically ill patients
Changing the way that critically ill patients suffering from sepsis or multiple organ failure are fed could reduce liver dysfunction. view more (2007-01-29)
Toxic Bile Damages the Liver
Researchers at the Heidelberg University Hospital have discovered a new genetic disease that can lead to severe liver damage. Because a protective component of the bile is missing, the liver cells are exposed to the toxic components of the bile, resulting in cirrhosis of liver, a transformation of liver cells into connective tissue with a gradual... view more...

Tiny particles may pose threat to liver cells, say scientists
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are to study the effects of nanoparticles on the liver. In a UK first, the scientists will assess whether nanoparticles -already found in pollution from traffic exhaust, but also used in making household goods such as paint, sunblock, food, cosmetics and clothes- can cause damage to the cells of the liver. view more (2006-04-05)
MIT: Why men are more prone to liver cancer
A fundamental difference in the way males and females respond to chronic liver disease at the genetic level helps explain why men are more prone to liver cancer, according to MIT researchers. view more (2008-01-16)
Liver diagnosis breakthrough with Mayo Clinic MRI development
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new technique for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately measure the hardness or elasticity of the liver. First tests show this technology - called MR Elastography (MRE) - holds great promise for detecting liver fibrosis, a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated... view more...

New clues for treatment of liver cancer
By generating tumors in laboratory mice that mimic human liver cancer and by comparing the DNA of mouse and human tumors, researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified two genes that are likely to play a role in the third leading cause of human cancer deaths. view more (2006-06-29)
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. view more (2006-04-03)
Noninvasive test accurately identifies advanced liver disease without biopsy
Non-invasively measuring liver stiffness with transient elastography accurately diagnoses patients with late-stage liver disease, reports a new study in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2008-09-02)
Possible Hepatitis C vaccine
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infects up to 500,000 people in the UK alone, many of the infections going undiagnosed. It is the single biggest cause of people requiring a liver transplant in Britain. view more (2007-09-06)
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three people affected
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three of those affected, suggests research in Gut. This is particularly likely in those who are older when first infected, and those who already have a degree of inflammation and scar tissue (fibrosis) in their liver at diagnosis. The viral liver infection hepatitis C (HCV) is mainly passed... view more... (2004-02-11)
Evaluation of standard liver volume formula for Chinese adults
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been used to alleviate the shortage of available liver donors. Accurate estimation of the standard liver volume (SLV) of the living donor and recipient is crucial. view more (2009-09-16)
Lower tacrolimus doses is suitable for living donor liver transplantation with small-for-size graft
Several studies have shown that living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients required smaller doses of tacrolimus compared with deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) patients, which indicated that liver regeneration could affect the metabolism of tacrolimus in LDLT. view more (2009-08-27)
Cure for hepatitis C announced by VCU researcher
The use of peginterferon alone, or in combination with ribavirin, points to a cure for hepatitis C, the leading cause of cirrhosis, liver cancer and the need for liver transplant, a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher said today. view more (2007-05-22)
Tiny radioactive spheres effectively treat cancer that has spread to the liver
Placing tiny radioactive spheres directly into the liver through its blood supply halted growth of tumors that had spread to the organ in 71 percent of patients tested in a small clinical trial, researchers from Mayo Clinic Jacksonville report. view more (2007-10-30)
Do patients at risk for B-cell malignancy need antiviral treatment?
Some studies have shown that a relationship of hepatitis C (HCV) infection with type II mixed cryoglobulinemia exists. However the precise mechanism remains unclear. view more (2009-04-15)
High circulating D-dimers are associated with presence of ascites
The liver is the production site of most of the proteins which favour and inhibit the process of coagulation and fibrinolysis. view more (2008-04-30)
Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
UCSD researchers identify critical receptor in liver regeneration
In studies in mouse models, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have found that a cellular receptor involved in triggering cell death is also a necessary component of tissue repair and regeneration immediately following liver injury. view more (2007-03-30)
