LIVER DISEASE CELL THERAPY

Introduction: The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body representing over 100 different functions. The extreme complication of the liver makes it susceptible to various diseases, most of which are in short supply. Liver disease is usually after their cause and the impact they have on the liver.

Types of liver disease: More commonly known diseases include:

• Hepatitis: inflammation of the liver caused mainly by various viruses
• cirrhosis of the liver: formation of fibrous tissue replacing dead cells in the liver of the liver
• Hemochromatosis: hereditary disease caused by excessive iron collection in the body
• liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic cancers commonly spread to other body part of the gastrointestinal tract
• Wilson's disease: hereditary disease causes excessive copper retention
• Primary sclerosing cholangitis: autoimmune diseases type inflammatory disease in the bile duct
• Preliminary biliary cirrhosis: autoimmune disease desease small bile duct
• Budd-Chiari syndrome: hepatic venous obstruction
• Gilbert's syndrome: genetic disorder associated with bilirubin metabolism
• Glycogen Storage Type II: accumulation of glycogen causes progressive muscle weakness, the body tissue of the heart, skeleton, liver and nervous system

Causes: Inflammatory disorders, certain viral infections, the typical drug interactions, excessive consumption of alcohol, right heart failure, fatty liver condition caused by diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity, overload deposition of iron, copper, excessive accumulation. However, less common causes such as tricuspid valve regurgitation - brings back of food consumed, amyloidosis, visceral leishmaniasis and HIV / AIDS have been reported in rare cases.

Symptoms: Mild and nonspecific liver disease patients show symptoms such as: fatigue, weakness, vague abdominal pain, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin - jaundice, because the collection of bilirubin in the blood - itching - slightly damaged bruises due to the reduced production of clotting factors by the liver state.

However, Advanced serious liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis, the symptoms may be as follows: accumulation of fluid in the legs - edema and abdomen - ascites, mental confusion or coma, kidney failure, vulnerable to bacterial infections and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Diagnosis: It depends on the reports of the necessary laboratory tests: blood, compound tomography scan CTS, Magnetic Resonance Imaging-MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy and liver biopsy.

Treatment: The treatment of liver diseases entirely dependent on the specific patient's liver conditions such as: Current cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, chemoembolization - Process kill the injection cancer germs drugs by catheter into the liver and other intervening cancer treatments, Bile duct drainage with catheters, stenting, blood pressure lowering drugs intravenously for liver transplant centers.
