3. Introduction
Of Liver
Presentation title 3
The liver, nestled in the upper
right quadrant of the abdomen,
is one of the largest and most
versatile organs in the human
body.
It carries out a vast array of
vital functions.

4. Functions of liver
Metabolism
• The liver acts as a
metabolic factory,
handling carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats.
• It converts nutrients
from food into
substances the body
can use, regulates blood
glucose levels, and
stores glycogen for
energy.
Detoxification
• It serves as the body's
primary detoxifier,
breaking down and
neutralizing toxins,
drugs, and alcohol.
• The liver filters blood,
removing harmful
substances and
ensuring their safe
excretion.
Presentation title 4
Protein Synthesis
• The liver is instrumental
in producing essential
proteins like albumin,
which helps maintain
fluid balance, and
clotting factors that aid
in blood clot formation.

5. Functions
Bile Production:
• It synthesizes bile—a
greenish fluid crucial for
digestion—which is stored in
the gallbladder and released
into the intestines to aid in the
breakdown and absorption of
fats.
Storage and Regulation:
• The liver stores vitamins,
minerals, and sugars,
releasing them when the body
requires these nutrients. It
also plays a role in regulating
cholesterol levels.

9. Types Of Liver Diseases
Non-Alcoholic Fatty
Liver Disease (NAFLD):
• Description:
Characterized by
excessive fat buildup in
the liver, not related to
alcohol consumption,
which involves
inflammation and
potential liver damage.
• Risk Factors: Obesity,
insulin resistance,
metabolic syndrome.
Alcoholic Liver Disease
(ALD):
• Description: Caused by
excessive alcohol
consumption leading to
liver damage. It includes
various stages such as
fatty liver (steatosis),
alcoholic hepatitis
(inflammation), fibrosis,
and cirrhosis.
• Risk Factors: Chronic
and excessive alcohol
consumption.
Presentation title 9
Cirrhosis:
• Description: A late stage
of progressive liver
scarring, often resulting
from chronic liver
diseases or long-term
damage. Cirrhosis
disrupts liver function and
blood flow through the
liver.
• Causes: Chronic alcohol
abuse, viral hepatitis,
NAFLD/NASH,
autoimmune diseases,
and other chronic liver
conditions.

10. Diseases
Viral Hepatitis:
• Hepatitis B and C: Viral
infections causing
inflammation and damage
to the liver. They can lead
to chronic infections,
cirrhosis, and liver cancer
if left untreated.
• Transmission: Through
contaminated blood,
sexual contact, or from
mother to child during
childbirth.
Autoimmune Hepatitis:
• Description: An
autoimmune condition
where the body's
immune system
mistakenly attacks liver
cells, leading to
inflammation and liver
damage.
• Risk Factors: Genetics,
environmental triggers.
Presentation title 10
Liver Cancer
(Hepatocellular Carcinoma
- HCC):
• Description: The most
common type of liver
cancer, often arising
from chronic liver
diseases or conditions
like cirrhosis, chronic
hepatitis B or C
infections.
