Does Clegenatur Methods really work? I notice many people keep on speaking about Clegenatur Methods. But Im uncertain if it is good enough to enhance their bust size naturally.

Thankyou doctor !! An excellent video that is easy to understand Liver Cirrhosis. Unfortunately my father is at the advanced stage.

[@shelbisatterfield4689]

it sounds like somebody is behind the camera snapping pictures or flipping through a textbook as hard as they can the whole time

[@sohelsaheen]

Simply I will say: NICE presentation. Easy to understand the basic things about Cirrohosis of liver and its pathophysiology.

[@kkd6466]

[@deborahbehymer220]

Bless you Gail!! Thank you for these!!

[@comprehensivemedzlearning1630]

I like very much your way to teach

[@williamroberts1062]

Gail, you mentioned 3 reasons for bleeding in liver patients. Splenomegaly, decreased production of proteins, and malabsorption of vitamin K. In our lecture, we were taught that the lack of clotting factors was a key reason for bleeding in liver patients. Are clotting factors the same as the proteins?

[@gaillupica9187]

yes, exactly

[@winonawillemsma1697]

So could the indirect bulirubin level indicate the severity of cirrhosis? Thank you for this video!

[@gaillupica9187]

Hi Winona, Not necessarily. The indirect (or direct) bilirubin level could be very elevated when the liver is temporarily inflamed.

[@ashleyjonelledenam4082]

Great videos! I'm a little confused. My textbook says in hemolytic jaundice the bilirubin is unconjugated and it is NOT excreted in the urine because it is not water soluble but in biliary obstruction, the bilirubin is conjugated and water soluble so it can be excreted in the urine. In your video you said the unconjugated bilirubin is excreted in the urine, do you mind explaining?

[@gaillupica9187]

Hi Ashley! I don't even remember referring to excretion of it. Everything you said is correct! Unconjugated bilirubin is elevated in hemolytic jaundice and conjugated bili is elevated in obstructive jaundice and knowing that is useful when looking at their labs when they first come in. If your professor is asking you about excretion of it, then the fact that unconjugated bili is fat soluble and therefore not excreted in urine, makes perfect sense.

[@autumngonzalez4859]

Ashley Jonelle Tierneyi know I’m late to the party here lol. I’m learning this section in Patho right now. According to what I have learned, there are 3 categories of jaundice: prehaptic, intrahepatic, and posthepatic. In prehepatic, you wouldn’t see dark urine as the bilirubin isn’t conjugated yet. In intrahepatic, both levels of unconjugated AND conjugated bilirubin is elevated so you will have dark urine. With posthepatic, you also have elevated conjugated bilirubin but also obstruction in bile flow,so you will see dark urine and pale stools.

[@drdean5263]

amazing job! but get an art dept. lol

[@xanifaxonsafaralieva1930]

Hello I have a question. Is there a cure for liver cirrhosis??

[@gaillupica9187]

The short answer is no.
