Abstract:

Liver in relation to dentistry is the topic of this chapter. Structure and function of the liver are discussed: metabolism of nutrients and toxins, exocrine functions, and synthesis of key proteins. Drugs and the liver are then discussed: the role of plasma proteins in transport or binding drugs; the liver’s role in metabolizing drugs; and the liver’s role in excreting some drug products into the bile. The effects of chronic excess alcohol on the liver are described and the role of the dentist in spotting potential liver problems in dental patients. The impact of liver disease on patient physi

Abstract:

The liver with its parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells plays a key role in the organism with manifold functions of metabolism, synthesis, detoxification, excretion, and host response. This requires a portfolio of different tests to obtain an overview of hepatic function. In the critically ill hepatic dysfunction is common and potentially leading to extrahepatic organ dysfunctions culminating in multi-organ failure. Conventional laboratory measures are used to evaluate hepatocellular damage, cholestasis, or synthesis. They provide valuable (differential) diagnostic data and can yield prognost

Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, leading to a decline in liver function over time. This article provides a complete guide for patients, families, and the general public to understand what liver cirrhosis is, how it develops, and what can be done to manage it. It begins with an overview of the condition and explains the different types, including those caused by alcohol, viral infections, and metabolic diseases.

Abstract:

Drugs are an important and common cause of hepatic injury. This is unsurprising, as the liver is a major site for drug clearance, biotransformation, and excretion. A careful history of drugs taken (prescribed, over the counter, herbal, or illicit) is vital when assessing anyone with abnormal liver function tests. Although toxic or idiosyncratic adverse reactions may occur with many therapeutic agents, drug-induced jaundice is not so common.

Four to five per cent of the Western population suffers from chronic diarrhoea (defined as the passage of >3 stools per day, for >4 weeks), with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) being the commonest cause in 20–40-year-old patients. It is the commonest reason for referral to secondary care gastroenterology clinics. The list of possible causes of chronic diarrhoea is long but, in the absence of rectal bleeding, loss of weight, or abnormal blood tests, it is unlikely to be due to a serious illness. Laboratory investigations should include serum glucose, electrolytes, renal and liver tests, fu

It is important for rheumatologists to have an understanding of biochemical tests including an awareness of their limitations. The biological variability of an analyte both within and between individuals, the limitations of the measurement technology, the sensitivity of laboratory internal quality control and external quality assurance procedures, as well as interlaboratory variations in practices including sample collection procedures, may all impact on the interpretation of a result.

This chapter provides a semiological interpretation of the reading of miracle accounts in Jonas’s hagiography in seeking to understand the function that these accounts played within the texts. It argues that miracle accounts functioned differently with different texts and over time. It builds on the work of French historian Jean-Louis Derouet, who advanced a semiological interpretation of miracle accounts by contrasting them in two different hagiographical corpora from the seventh century. It categorizes miracles according to function, not type, following Pierre-André Sigal’s seminal methodolo

Ascites is the accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity. Most patients with ascites usually have a known diagnosis of cirrhosis, malignancy, or heart failure.

Worsening of preexisting ascites may be due to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. In malignancy, ascites denotes the developm

Abstract:

A major event in liver cirrhosis is the development of a progressive deterioration of circulatory function due to splanchnic arterial vasodilation and impairment in cardiac function. This feature determines a homeostatic activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system, and antidiuretic hormone. The splanchnic microcirculation is resistant to the vasoconstrictor effect of these systems. Therefore, the homeostasis of arterial pressure in cirrhosis occurs in the extrasplanchnic, mainly renal circulation. The activation of these systems produces renal fluid reten
