To investigate the influence of alcohol intake on tumor growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with type C cirrhosis, we examined the tumor volume doubling time (TVDT) of 35 nodules from 35 cases of HCC, calculated through ultrasonographic imaging. The patients were divided into two groups according to their drinking habit; 21 habitual drinkers (alcohol group; 80g ethanol/day for ...

Hepatic prolyl hydroxylase activity and collagen synthesis were measured in patients with alcoholic liver disease to determine the feasibility of using the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase as a marker of hepatic fibrogenesis. Alcoholic patients with liver histopathology consistent with normal, steatosis, alcoholic hepatitis, early cirrhosis, or advanced cirrhosis were analysed for liver prolyl hydroxy...

The early stage liver diseases prediction is an important health related research and using this kind of easily can predict the take remedies. are classified into different types such as cancer, tumor, fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis etc. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease a chronic disease which rigorous quite difficult at stages. plays significant role in treating also constraining next cons...

AIM To evaluate prior hospital contacts with alcohol problems in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and pancreatitis. METHODS This was a register-based study of all patients diagnosed with alcoholic liver cirrhosis or pancreatitis during 2008-2012 in Denmark. Hospital contacts with alcohol problems (intoxication, harmful use, or dependence) in the 10-year period preceding the diagnosis o...

Unsafe use of alcohol results in approximately 2.5 million deaths worldwide, with cirrhosis contributing to 16.6% of reported deaths. Serum insulin levels are often elevated in alcoholism and may result in diabetes, which is why alcoholic liver disease and diabetes often are present together. Because there is a sizable population with these diseases alone or in combination, the purpose of this ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has a variable prognosis which is predictable to an extent based on the presence or absence of histological liver injury. Past studies have determined a number of clinical and laboratory parameters which predict greater severity on the initial biopsy, although all of these measures have limitations and biopsy remains the gold standard at this time. For patients...

N on-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinicopathological condition characterised by a wide spectrum of histological abnormalities and clinical outcomes. The underlying histological abnormality is hepatic steatosis, characterised by fat accumulation, which may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterised in turn by steatosis, periportal inflammation, and ballooning ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is now recognized as the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of fat-associated liver conditions that can result in end-stage liver disease and the need for liver transplantation. Simple steatosis, or fatty liver, occurs early in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and may progress to non-alcoholic steatohep...

The relative importance of malnutrition and alcohol toxicity in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis has been controversiaL In epidemiological studies the incidence of cirrhosis can be correlated with the duration and amount of alcohol imbibed. The importance of nutrition has been discounted. In these studies few analyses of dietary intake were included. Diets of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis char...
