[Liver involvement in podagra]
Abstract:
In 65 patient suffering from podagra, liver function was found to depend on a number of aggravating factors (alcoholic drink use, obesity). Liver function disorders were detected in 1/4 of the patients examined. Alterations in enzymic activity were recorded in 44% of podagra patients, using alcohol. The level of AlAT was 0.78 +/- 0.21 mumol/l versus 0.54 +/- 0.02 in the control group (p less than 0.05), that of AcAT 0.60 +/- 0.13 mumol/l versus 0.41 +/- 0.01 in the control group, and that of xanthine oxidase 110.9 +/- 3.89 units versus 87.4 +/- 1.4 in the control group. In 22.2% of podagra in the disease history, alterations in liver function were also detectable, which was likely to be due to the podagra process itself. On scanning of 36 patients suffering from podagra, 23 persons manifested diffuse and 6 focal liver injury.

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not related to...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
