Spontaneous hepatic hemorrhage (SHH) is a very rare but life-threatening entity that results from a breach in the hepatic parenchyma without any external cause, the most common being hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatic adenoma. We present a case of SHH without any underlying tumor or injury. The cause in our patient remained unclear, but we hypothesize that the patient's SHH was most likely coagulopathy-related.

Liver Regeneration

The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
