Hepatic disease is, and treated how

ex. viral hepititis destroys cells
TX: medically with drugs to decrease Albumin
Obstructive disease is, and is treated how
Bile excretion is blocked, liver malfunctions as secondary result.
TX: surgically
Severe increase in bilitubin and Alkaine Phos
Raw materials such as carbs(sugars), amino acids (protien), are absorbed from intestines and transported to…
the circulatory system
Carbs
Glucose - energy
liver maintains steady state of glucose
Glucose is converted to what for storage
glycogen (starch)
Hypoglycemis
low glucose affects brain and organs
Hperglycemis
Increased glucose levels
Fats
Monoglyceride and diglycerides
Live is the primary site for metabolism of fats and is absorbed in intestenises in the form of
Monglycerides and diglycerides
Dietary fats are converted in to the hepatocytes to
lipoprotiends the transported and stored
Fatty liver
Fat croweds hepatocytes, pregnacy obesity liver disease and diabeties.
Protiens:
Indirect-
Direct-
Indirect: amino acids absorbed from gut
Direct: raw materials stored in body
