Answer 1

Hepatomegaly: Only 16 percent of the population has a liver span greater than 16cm on ultrasound at the mid-clavicular line. This type of enlarged liver definitely warrants further work up closely with your primary care doctor, gastroenterologist, or a liver specialist.

Answer 2

Inconsistent: The liver can partially regenerated if a portion of a healthy liver is removed surgically. When you take drugs that cause liver toxicity, they do so over the entire liver and may cause damage severe enough that regeneration is not possible.

Answer 3

Should be aware.: Liver cells regenerating all the time. Your doc should worry about your medications as it is generally too technical for the lay person to predict liver toxicity and drug / drug interactions. You should listen to them. Be honest about alcohol use and your history of any liver disease.

Answer 4

Depends: Iy depends on what you have and the punt of damage but the liver is an organ that can repair itself!

Answer 5

Depends: The liver is a very vigorous organ, it has the reparative properties to regenerate after injury. But it depends on the nature of the injury and the chronicity of injury.

Liver disease (acute or chronic) that knocks out enough active liver cells causes less protein to be made in general, and clotting factors included.. In addition platelets (blood clotting cells) decrease in liver disease.

Answer 7

Clotting factors: The liver is very important for making clotting factors and if it is damaged, it's synthetic function is damaged as well, allowing the blood to not clot as well.

Answer 8

Sleep first : First make sure you are sleeping 71/2 to 8 hours a night and that you awake refreshed. It is amazing how many people come in with fatigue as a problem and are only sleeping 6 hours a night. If you are then see your doctor as there are hundreds of conditions that will make you feel exhausted.

Answer 9

Most commonly: What you describe is increased fat content of the liver. Fatty liver is commonly associated with alcohol or metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia), but can also be due to several other causes.

Answer 10

See answer: While it is difficult to interpret a comment from the report, especially without seeing the images and the relationships and appearance of the other hepatic structures (vessels, bile ducts) this may indicate diffuse fatty infiltration – which could be metabolic or the result of drug treatment . Discuss with your clinical dr.
