Abstract:
Liver-lung interactions are common in daily clinical practice. However, frequently they are not the focus of clinical attention. For example, 10% of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure and more than 30% of patients with advanced stages of acute-on-chronic liver failure suffer from respiratory failure. Conversely, up to 20% of critically ill patients develop secondary liver failure as a consequence of cardiopulmonary diseases or sepsis during their stay in the intensive care unit. This article provides an overview of clinically relevant liver-lung interactions, consecutively acquired pulmonary and hepatic diseases and the therapeutic implications.

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
Drug-Receptor Interactions
Several parameters, such as the drug's affinity for its receptor and its efficacy, which is its ability to activate the receptor, determine the drug's effect on the tissue....
