Hepatitis C is a liver disease that is caused by hepatitis C virus. The virus enters into the liver cell‚ use the cell’s genetic to make copies of itself which then affects more cells.

It is not passed on by everyday contact

Purpose The purpose of performing this lab is to compare the action of catalase to a non-protein catalyst under different conditions. Hypothesis In section A‚ I hypothesize that the sand will have no reaction but the MnO2 will produce a gas or start to foam up. In section B‚ I suspect that the liver may start to show signs of deformation

cirrhosis‚ you must understand first that cirrhosis is a circumstance when liver function has less. The diseases that lead to cirrhosis do so because they injure and kill liver cells‚ and the inflammation and repair that is associated with the dying liver cells causes scar tissue to form. The liver cells that do not die multiply in an attempt to replace the cells that have died. This results in clusters of newly-formed liver cells (regenerative nodules) within the scar tissue. The symptoms of cirrhosis

genetic disorder passed either by the parents or due to a genetic mutation(s). The liver is the affected region of the body.

(Hodgson‚ 2010). There are multiple organs such as the liver which are targeted simply because of ease of access. Any organ that can be accessed through less guarded cell walls or higher levels of lipids are more susceptible to entry by toxicants. High traffic organs like the kidneys and liver make it easy as they receive and filter all blood therefore taking the toxin in large doses to cleanse the body. The primary purpose of the kidneys and liver is to expel toxins and therefore this action is there

disease? Wilson disease is a genetic disorder that prevents the body from getting rid of extra copper. A small amount of copper obtained from food is needed to stay healthy‚ but too much copper is poisonous. In Wilson disease‚ copper builds up in the liver‚ brain‚ eyes‚ and other organs. Over time‚ high copper levels can cause life-threatening organ damage. Pathophysiology and clinical features of Wilson disease Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism resulting
