Thank you for watching our video. We'd really appreciate if you checked out the rest of our videos on the liver (LFTs, hepatitis, cholestatic diseases) on our website for free: www.medcram.com/courses/the-liver-explained-clearly

It is really good and simple. Even non medical people can understand it well. I am a Gastroenterologist, I found the explanations are very simple and can be utilized to explain to medical and paramedics.

I lost one of my aunts in December due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that progressed to cirrhosis… Her death was slow, agonizing and horrible. At the end stage of the disease, she was so incredibly bloated, started leaking fluid from her anus and urethra, she stopped peeing, seemed to retain all liquid and bruised quite easily. She was quite aware as her liver failed, until the last week where she drifted in and out of consciousness, most of the time delirious (I think due to hepatic encephalopathy which is a buildup of toxins in the brain that causes confusion, as well as both mental and physical complications). Take care of your livers, people. It's a horrible way to go.

I'm a med student and I'm rotating in internal medicine so this really helpful for those test we do on our patients and simplifying it for me to understand.

[@summermazur3064]

So excited to see you've added a liver lecture series! I loved your kidney and acid-base lectures, and neither hepatology nor nephrology are often talked about in depth!

[@jackiereynolds2888]

[@Medcram]

You're welcome, thanks for the comment!

[@drhanafayyad4347]

Thank u for this, n other lectures, all scientific n enjoyable. One thing herein, however, is that Albumin might be reduced also in nephrotic syndrome,( n severe malnutrition), or lymphatic duct abnormalities, without liver disease; so albumin is not exactly specific to liver disease.

[@g.c.w3382]

Thank you for the teachings Can you talk about fatty liver.

[@sidmichael1158]

[@Vinaykumar-ug4gm]

hello sir.. your video is really nice.. my uncle was suffering from liver disease.. and i was really worried about

[@mysecondemailatl]

Random comment... I'm just a dude that works in warehouse. No medical schooling, little college education. I used to talk to a girl with epilepsy. (Wasn't allowed to physically see her only text and call) I didn't like how for 20+ years they couldn't find out how to slow or stop them (except for some chemo pill she took but she couldn't remember the name) I deducted they were catamenial. Did more research and theorized with her proteinuria she was leaking albumin through her kidneys which tends to carry progesterone leading to a high ratio of estrogen during her ovulation phase when she tended to have 3 or 4 seizures a day. So essentially I said fix your proteinuria, you might solve the seizures. I didn't have many ideas only some curcumin and raw vegetable diet. Only so much I could do from afar, and i couldn't get her to think, she had such low self-esteem among other issues. I don't know if I was right.

[@cheeqi9388]

I still don't get it sorry😅😅

[@chandusingh7883]

Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very best

[@nicopollack1072]

Greetings from the German trio :)

[@Conbotron]

This would be an amazing resource if you had slides and drew on the instead of blackboard

[@happsingh477]

if albumin is low = chronic liver injury (@ 7:36) ?? Vs. albumin is HIGH = acute liver injury (@ 7:44) ???

[@marywhite4631]

What is the meaning of a liver being off

[@michaelrobinson55555]

What about BLTs?

[@dumdropdumdrop]

liver functions from the heart as oxygenated blood? volume and regulated pressure. in basic could the liver be comparable to a milk thistle but whereas temperature difference affect exchanges in volume while liver functions necessitate from the heart to provide an exchange? to detoxify could perhaps be in part to a system where ph balance result? wouldnt it be safe to detoxify dyes rathan to think from a digestive tract and the breaking down to glucose from sugar substance? that approach clearly ignores direct function for a ph balance where volume and regulated pressure to hepatic artery and not a digestive tract opposite of extracting. the general public has a right to be informed of direct information when pertaining to ph balance in the process result perfusion. saying "the body can tell when to perfuse" is a baseless assertion. when to conclude liver functionality to detoxify a body in volume that as stems from hepatic artery.

[@dumdropdumdrop]

changing the weight in volume from chemicals adhereing to oxygenated blood cells such as dyes and substances that have not been cleansed by the regulated liver. if the liver functions from an artery pumped from the heart then why is the digestive tract in place of the liver? hypothetically, if the weight in volume changes the systolic and diastolic circulation of blood cells, how then is detoxing identified if not weight considered from portal vein? the mixture of oils to chemicals adhered to oxygen for an exchange process result identified as perfusion?

[@dumdropdumdrop]

weight in volume is realized primarily before item crucial is my opinion when the liver functions in its present state. unless proven otherwise, where is a contesting arguement and look forward to its evidence. what if louis pasteur was onto something life changing?

[@lisamichelle8413]

You didn’t mention whether the Albumin marker was either high or low ? 🤔
