Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs), also referred to as a hepatic panel or liver panel, are groups of blood tests that provide information about the state of a patient's liver. [1] These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin , bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others.
Cavernous hemangiomas (also called hepatic hemangioma or liver hemangioma) are the most common type of benign liver tumor, found in 3%– 10% of people. [2] They are made up of blood clusters that are surrounded by endothelial cells. [5] These hemangiomas get their blood supply from the hepatic artery and its branches. [5]
A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver composed of large vascular spaces lined by monolayer hepatic endothelial cells. It is the most common benign liver tumour, and is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiological imaging or during laparotomy for other intra-abdominal issues.
Liver biopsy is the biopsy (removal of a small sample of tissue) from the liver. It is a medical test that is done to aid diagnosis of liver disease , to assess the severity of known liver disease, and to monitor the progress of treatment.
FLC accounts for 1–10% of primary liver cancers. [24] It typically has a young age at presentation when compared to conventional HCC. Previously it was estimated to be 20–40 years, mean ages 27 years, [ 25 ] but when analysis is restricted to those patients who are confirmed with a molecular test to have FLC, the age range is 10-40 and mean ...
Focal nodular hyperplasia is a benign tumor of the liver (hepatic tumor), which is the second most prevalent tumor of the liver after hepatic hemangioma. [1] It is usually asymptomatic, rarely grows or bleeds, and has no malignant potential. [2]
Hepatolithiasis is the presence of gallstones in the biliary ducts of the liver. Treatment is usually surgical. It is rare in Western countries, but prevalent in East Asia. [1] The gallstones are normally found proximal to the left and right hepatic ducts. The causes of the disease are poorly understood, but it is suspected that genetics, diets ...
