  • The secretome was also found to inhibit cell apoptosis [ 6 ], suggesting that adipose-derived stem cell secretome (ADSC-S) can reduce liver cell apoptosis within 1-3 days after surgery. (bsmiab.org)
  • Due to the strong compensation ability of the liver, no obvious symptoms develop in the early stage. (hindawi.com)
  • Fatty change, or steatosis, is the accumulation of fatty acids in liver cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • In EPP, the enzyme deficiency causes accumulation of protoporphyrin in various tissues (skin, liver) and blood (erythrocytes and plasma). (biomedcentral.com)
  • It refers to the abnormal accumulation of more than 500 milliliters of transudative pleural effusion in patients with liver cirrhosis where a cardiac and pulmonary cause of pleural effusion has been ruled out [1]. (scirp.org)
  • The levels of most liver test parameters were elevated, fibrotic indices were high, and haemoglobin and albumin levels were reduced. (bvsalud.org)
  • Solitary or multiple collections of PUS within the liver as a result of infection by bacteria, protozoa, or other agents. (lookformedical.com)
  • Alcoholism causes development of large fatty globules (macro-vesicular steatosis) throughout the liver and can begin to occur after a few days of heavy drinking. (wikipedia.org)
