Major functions of the liver:

Metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fats


➢ Production of bile salts.


➢ Bilirubin metabolism


➢ Blood reservoir


➢ Storage of minerals and vitamins- vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, Iron.


c) Fat metabolism

FOSK



Formation of lipoproteins


Oxidation of fatty acids for energy


✓ Synthesis of cholesterol and phospholipids


✓ Ketone formation



Protein metabolism

✓ Protein catabolism


✓ Protein synthesis: albumin, alpha, beta glubulin

gallbladder stores

50 to 70 ml

liver produces

600 to 1,200 mls of bile

Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests for Liver Function

Fat Metabolism


Protein Metabolism


Bilirubin Metabolism


Conjugated/ Direct Bilirubin


Uncoconjugated/ Indirect Bilirubin


Total serum bilirubin



is usually alcohol- induced. Cellular necrosis causes widespread scar tissue, with fibrotic infiltration of the liver.

Laennec’s Cirrhosis-

occurs after massive liver necrosis.Cirrhosis occur as a compliction of acute viral hepatitis or exposure to hepatotoxins.


Postnecrotic cirrhosis-

- develops from chronic biliary obstruction, biliary obstruction, bile stasis, and inflammation resulting in severe obstructive jaundice.

Biliary Cirrhosis

is associated with severe, right- sided congestive heart failure and result in an enlargement, edematous, congestive liver.

Cardiac Cirrhosis-

Fibrosis and scarring of the liver may cause:

1. Fatty infiltration of the liver


2. Obstruction of blood flow within the liver.


3. Increased pressure in the portal vein and sinusoidal channels.
