The following information, gleaned from the articles listed in the References , can only serve as an outline; the reader will need to consult the material in the Informational Links for more details. Normal Liver Function The liver, the largest organ in the body, is essential in keeping the body functioning properly. It removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood, produces immune agents to control infection, and removes germs and bacteria from the blood. It makes proteins that regulate blood clotting and produces bile to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. This organ is the main industrial center of the body, and it has the enormous task of maintaining the body's metabolic equilibrium (homeostasis). The liver: Processes raw materials

Genetics Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Liver Disorders in Pregnancy INTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS OF PREGNANCY (ICP) What is intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy? ICP is a pregnancy-related liver disorder in which there are abnormalities in the flow of bile (a substance produced by the liver that aids in the digestion and absorption of fats). This leads to a build-up of bile acids (components of bile) in the mother’s blood, resulting in symptoms such as severe skin itching. What are the symptoms of ICP? The symptoms of ICP can range from mild to severe. Symptoms usually start in the third trimester of pregnancy, but can begin earlier. The most common symptoms include: Skin itching that gets progressively worse; it may be so severe that it interferes with sleep and daily activities. All women with ICP generally have some degree of itching. Many affected women itch all over their bodies, but itching may be most severe on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Jaundice , which is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, occurs in about 20 percent of women with ICP (1).

Other Liver Disorders What are autoimmune liver disorders? An autoimmune disorder is any reaction or attack of a person's immune system against its own organs and tissues. In the liver, the immune system can destroy liver cells and damage bile ducts. Chronic active hepatitis can be caused by an autoimmune disorder. What are metabolic liver disorders? Two main metabolic disorders affect the liver: hemochromatosis (Also called iron overload disease.) - characterized by the absorption of too much iron from food. Instead of secreting the excess iron, the iron is stored throughout the body, including the liver and pancreas. The excess iron can damage these organs. Hemochromatosis is a hereditary disease that can lead to liver disease, liver failure, liver cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Wilson's disease - characterized by the retention of too much copper in the liver. Instead of releasing the copper into the bile, the liver retains the copper. Eventually, the damaged liver releases copper into the bloodstream. This hereditary disease can cause damage to the kidneys, brain, and eyes, and can lead to severe brain damage, liver failure, and death. Click here to view the Online Resources page.

When diagnosing liver disease, the physician looks at the patient's symptoms and conducts a physical examination. In addition, the physician may request a liver biopsy, liver enzyme tests, an ultrasound, or a CT scan (computed tomography scan). Some common liver disease symptoms include the following, each of which are described briefly below: jaundice, cholestasis, liver enlargement, portal hypertension , ascites, liver encephalopathy and liver failure. What is jaundice? Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes due to an abnormally high level of bilirubin (bile pigment) in the bloodstream, which is then excreted through the kidneys. High levels of bilirubin may be attributed to inflammation or other abnormalities of the liver cells, or blockage of the bile ducts. Sometimes jaundice is caused by the breakdown of a large number of red blood cells, which can occur in newborns. Jaundice is usually the first sign, and sometimes the only sign, of liver disease. What is cholestasis?

Many different chemicals comprise what we eat and drink, and our bodies produce more on their own. The liver works hard to render these chemicals harmless or less harmful than they may otherwise be by changing their form and perhaps coupling them to another chemical for excretion. The kidneys constantly filter your blood – in fact your entire blood volume normally passes through your kidneys many times each day. As the blood passes through waste materials are removed for excretion into the urine, which is then stored in the urinary bladder until it is voided. When something goes wrong with one of these critical organs the consequences can be fatal. Seeing a specialist is of paramount importance.

35. Gall Bladder And Liver Disorders In Sickle Cell Disease An critical review of the literature on liver and biliary problems in sickle cell disease. http://sickle.bwh.harvard.edu/liver.html

Cage Johnson, M.D. Director, Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center of Southern California University of Southern California Health Sciences Center Los Angeles, CA Revised January 10, 2001 Gall Bladder and Liver Disorders in Sickle Cell Disease: a Critical Review Introduction Liver and biliary tract dysfunction are common complications of sickle cell anemia and its variants. Early reports described jaundice, hepatic infarcts, acute and chronic viral hepatitis, choledocholithiasis, and cirrhosis. The pathophysiology of hepatic dysfunction was attributed to the classic histologic features of Kupffer cell erythrophagocytosis and engorgement of sinusoids by aggregates of sickled cells. More recent reports have emphasized the importance of hepatic disease as a consequence of conditions not necessarily related to hemoglobinopathy. Despite nearly 200 reports in the last 15 years on the hepato-biliary aspects of the sickling disorders, the frequency and pathophysiology of hepatic lesions remain unclear. The hepato-biliary complications of the sickling disorders can be separated into broad categories of disorders related to hemolysis, the problems of anemia and transfusion management, the consequences of sickling and vaso-occlusion, and defects unrelated to hemoglobin S. These complications of the sickling disorders are most common in sickle cell anemia (Hb SS), but also occur to a lesser extent in the doubly heterozygous sickle diseases, including

Online Library Digestive disorders affecting infants and children range from simple problems that most children experience, such as vomiting or diarrhea, to more serious problems such as the birth defect tracheoesophageal fistula or illnesses such as appendicitis. Digestive and liver disorders can have significant effects on the health of a child. A healthy digestive system processes the foods and liquids that we eat, replenishing vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are vital for the body to function properly. Occasional vomiting or diarrhea may lead to dehydration. However, long-term problems with the digestive system or liver can deplete these important nutrients, causing malnutrition that affects a child's physical and mental growth and development. Some digestive disorders, such as vomiting or diarrhea, may be effectively treated by your child's physician. Other times, your child's physician may refer you to a physician who specializes in children's digestive and liver disorders. This specialist is known as a pediatric gastroenterologist.
