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)
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...

New lights on the pathogenic mechanisms of liver cirrhosis with ascites
The pathogenic mechanisms implicated in the failure of intestinal barrier in cirrhosis have not been fully elucidated as yet and remains to be investigated. view more (2008-09-24)
Targeting nerve growth factor may cure liver cancer
Nerve growth factor (NGF), as the name says, is an essential peptide factor for the growth and differentiation of neuronal cells. Therefore we can imagine that this growth factor is important for the nervous system including brain. view more (2007-09-19)
Are angiotensins involved in the hemodynamic changes of cirrhosis patients?
Liver cirrhosis has been recently studied in the light of the new view of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). view more (2009-06-12)
Research offers hope of new treatments for liver damage 'plague'
Millions of patients suffering from liver damage (cirrhosis) and failure may benefit from research by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh that could lead to new life-saving treatments. There is currently no cure for liver cirrhosis and a patient's only hope of survival is to receive a liver transplant. view more (2005-01-05)

HBV genotype B/B3 and C/C1 are the major genotypes in Indonesia?
Previous studies revealed that HBV genotypes as well as mutations in the core promoter, precore or HBx gene have been shown to have an association with the clinical outcome of liver disease, however, this is still controversial. view more (2009-09-16)
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)
New test detects cirrhosis of the liver in an early stage
Ghent researchers have developed a new and easy method of detecting cirrhosis of the liver. This major finding helps predict the evolution of chronic liver disease, allowing physicians to start proper treatment early on. Patients suffering from this serious, progressive disease in its cirrhosis stage have a high chance of developing liver cancer.... view more... (2004-03-08)
Metabolic bone disease in cirrhosis patients
Long-standing liver disease has long been recognized to result in fragile bones with increased risk of fractures. In various international studies, the overall incidence has varied from 11% to 48%, with a fracture rate of 3%-44%. view more (2009-08-10)
How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life. view more (2008-10-13)
Double the death rate from cirrhosis for 'blue collar' men
School of Population Health Professors Jake Najman and Gail Williams and Stockholm University's Professor Robin Room examined death rates among Australian men from liver cirrhosis between 1981 and 2002. view more (2007-05-10)
New test improves detection of liver cancer
Cancer of the liver is very difficult to detect, and it is a major cause of death in Asia and Africa, with rising incidence in Western countries as well. view more (2007-08-09)
An effective strategy for inhibition of cirrhosis
In China, the incidence of liver cirrhosis is still high, although new therapeutic approaches have recently been proposed, there is no established therapy for liver fibrosis, and Authors investigated the prevention effects of Chinese Medicine Qianggan-Rongxian Soup on liver fibrosis induced by DMN in rat. view more (2008-09-25)
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...

p90RSK: A new therapeutic target for liver fibrosis?
Cirrhosis is a world wide, bad prognosis liver disease and characterized by excessive collagen deposition and liver function damage. view more (2009-05-13)
Liver fibrosis will be treated by a potential target
The outcome of hepatitis is either self recovery or its development into liver fibrosis or, further, liver cirrhosis. Liver fibrosis is the early pathological process of cirrhosis, which is considered a reversible, wound-healing response. Since no ideal drug is available for its therapy, liver fibrosis is currently considered to be a major... view more... (2007-10-17)
Coffee and tea can reduce the risk of chronic liver disease
A study published today in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology found that people at high risk for liver injury may be able to reduce their risk for developing chronic liver disease significantly by drinking more than two cups of coffee or tea daily. view more (2005-12-02)
Most chronic hepatitis C sufferers will develop cirrhosis in later life
