Overview

Liver diseases are conditions that impair the structure or function of the liver, ranging from mild and reversible to chronic and life-threatening. The liver performs essential roles in metabolism, detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production, so its dysfunction can affect the whole body. Liver diseases arise from many causes, including viral infections, alcohol, exposure to toxins, certain medications, metabolic and nutritional factors, and inherited conditions. Management depends on the specific disease and its severity, and may involve addressing the underlying cause, supportive care, and protecting remaining liver function. Within the journal's coverage of the Pancreas and related digestive and metabolic topics, liver diseases are examined across pathogenesis, epidemiology, and treatment. Reported research relevant to this topic includes work on amino acids and their derivatives in the pathogenesis and treatment of liver diseases, retrospective hospital-based studies characterizing the burden and trends of liver and chronic liver disease, the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of tea polysaccharides, the assessment of vitamin D deficiency in patients with chronic liver disease, and the protective effect of a 5-HT1A agonist against chemically induced liver oxidative stress. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to liver diseases, their causes, and their management.
