alcoholic liver disease (ald) is the main cause of chronic liver disease across the world and can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis. the etiopathogenesis of ald is related to ethanol-induced oxidative stress, glutathione reduction, abnormal methionine metabolism, malnutrition, and production of endotoxins that activate kupffer cells. curcumin is an active ingredient of the rhizome of turmeric. the...

Fatty liver disease is a most common affecting wide range of population worldwide. It caused due to excessive fat accumulation in cells resulting inflammation liver. There are various symptoms such as confusion, fatigue, weakness etc. Over-eating the major lifestyle factor causing fatty disease. Alcoholic intake results alcoholic Ajirna (indigestion), Sthaulya (obesity) and Prameha (diabetes me...

BACKGROUND Liver diseases are suspected risk factors for intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). We conducted a population-based case-control study to examine risk of ICH among hospitalised patients with liver cirrhosis and other liver diseases. METHODS We used data from the hospital discharge registries (1991-2003) and the Civil Registration System in Denmark, to identify 3,522 cases of first-time ...

Back Ground:Liver diseases are common disorders encountered in clinical practices. Investigations in liver diseases are used to detect hepatic abnormality, to measure its severity, to define it structural effect on the liver, to look for specific causes of liver diseases, assess prognosis and to evaluate therapy. Aim and Objectives:To study and compare the altered serum levels of enzymes GGT, A...

Patients with chronic liver diseases are asymptomatic or have only vague non-specific symptoms. Effective medical treatments for chronic liver disease (before cirrhosis is established) are becoming increasingly available and since abnormal LFTs may be the only indication of this diseases. Aims: comparative study on serum Enzyme levels in various liver diseases. Discussion: serum Alkaline phosph...

Introduction N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type III (PIIINP) is generated during the synthesis of type III collagen. PIIINP can be measured in the serum as an indicator of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Aim To evaluate the effect of liver diseases of different aetiologies and clinical severity of liver cirrhosis on the serum level of PIIINP. Material and methods Patients with alcoholi...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this review to collate current leading scientific advances of molecular mechanisms in alcoholic liver diseases and to propose a working "hypothesis of seven balances" in relation to peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), which has important roles in fatty acid oxidation, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and possibly liver fibrosis. MET...

conclusions the results confirmed that the total costs for non-alcoholic fatty liver among the iranian adult urban population alone exceeded 1 billion ppp$ per year. these costs can be saved or reduced by effective disease management and early prevention. objectives this study aims to estimate the diagnosis and treatment costs of non-alcoholic fatty liver. patients and methods this cross-sectio...
