How should I manage a 62-year-old Hispanic man who has hyperlipidemia and abnormal liver enzymes? The patient’s most recent lab studies showed total cholesterol 326 mg/dL, LDL 233 mg/dL, triglycerides ...

Your liver plays a major role in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification (eliminating harmful substances from your body). Liver enzymes help the liver perform these functions by speeding up chemical ...

Scientists have developed a lab-based system for studying the most common type of liver disease, paving the way for research into new therapies. The team has devised a way to probe Non-Alcoholic Fatty ...

A team led by engineers at the University of California, San Diego has 3D-printed a tissue that closely mimics the human liver’s sophisticated structure and function. The new model could be used for ...

Liver enzymes are proteins in your liver that speed up chemical reactions. If your liver is damaged, blood tests will show abnormally high levels of these enzymes circulating in your bloodstream.

The human liver is an incredible organ. It is one of the few organs that can regenerate, with people able to lose as much as 75 percent and yet still grow it back. With such incredible regeneration ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...

CINCINNATI--Scientists successfully bioengineered human liver organoids that faithfully mimic key features of fatal liver disease in the laboratory. This allowed them to uncover underlying disease ...

Elevated liver enzymes can indicate a problem in the liver. However, eating a balanced diet and regularly exercising are some of the ways a person can lower liver enzyme levels. The liver contains ...

A scientist leads a team to discover the first-of-its-class drug that can inhibit a key enzyme safely and effectively in people living with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The drug, an ...
