introduction: cardiovascular abnormalities have been reported in liver cirrhosis (lc). in these patients, cardiac symptoms and physical signs occur as the liver functions worsen. cirrhosis is associated with hyper dynamic circulation and beta-adrenergic system changes responsible for the cardiovascular abnormalities. the purpose of the present study was to explore the echocardiographic findings...

Background: Liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump CABG.Methods: In 146 patients scheduled...

thyroid hormones regulate the metabolisms of all cells including hepatocytes, and hence, modulate hepatic function. hyperthyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders characterized by increased secretion of thyroid hormones t3 and/or t4. this study investigated frequency of abnormal liver function tests in the patients with hyperthyroidism that referred to imam reza hospital of kerma...

conclusions hepatoprotective agents combined with antiviral drugs can significantly improve liver function and liver fibrosis parameters in patients with hepatitis b. results a total of 22 randomized controlled trials encompassing 1,714 cases were considered in the meta-analysis. the obtained results indicated that the combination of antiviral drug and hepatoprotective agent was better than ant...

Introduction: Liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) is a major clinical problem, which occurs during several conditions such as liver damage, trauma and transplantation. Recent studies indicate that IR-induced acute liver failure causes injuries of distant organs such as heart and lungs by systematic inflammatory responses. Therefore, in the present study, effects of hepatic IR induction were stud...

We are reporting an infant with persistent abnormal liver function, neonatal jaundice, and intermittent hypoglycemia. Evaluation confirmed congenital hypopituitarism, in the absence of congenital anomalies and midline defect. His jaundice and abnormal liver function improved after treatment with Levothyroxine and hydrocortisone.

 Backgrounds: G6PD deficiency is the most common enzymopathy of red blood cells. The clinical symptoms of favism are jaundice, hematuria and haemolytic anaemia that seem to affect liver and kidney in long term. Thus we evaluate kidney and liver function of favism patients in an endemic area of the disease with a high rate of fava beans cultivation. Methods: This study was performed on favism pa...
