(LIVER TEST ONLY) PHAY0042
In the liver what is the role of the gall bladder ?

your gall bladder where bile is produced and transported via the bile duct releasing the bile into the
duodenum

Answer = Bile production




What is the definition of cholestasis

Cholestasis = The reduced bile secretion or flow due to problem with hepatocytes production of bile
acid

or

a blockage of the gall bladder or associated ducts that help transport bile.




The liver has metabolic, synthetic and excretory functions, what are the metabolic functions of the liver
?

Metabolic functions of the liver are :-

a) Converts glucose into glycogen for storage
b) The liver is also involved in the metabolism and excretion of drugs and toxins
c) The liver also causes hormone inactivation

The liver has metabolic, synthetic and excretory functions, what are the synthetic functions of the liver
?

, 1.) production of bile – bile helps to carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during
disgestion

bile helps the absorption of fat and fat soluble vitamins particularly ADEK – you need bile to be able to
absorb those fat soluble vitamins

2.) the liver is also involved in the synthesis and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholioids,
triglycerides, lipoproteins

3.) the liver also produces plasma proteins

4.) the liver is involved in the synthesis of clotting factors

5.) the liver is also involved in the regulation of blood levels of amino acids

The liver has metabolic, synthetic and excretory functions, what are the excretory functions of the liver
?

Excretory functions
1.) the liver converts posinous ammonia to urea which can then be excreted out as urine
2.) the liver is also involved in the conjugation and excretion of bilirubin

What is bilirubin ?

bilirubin is the breakdown product of red blood cells from haem - in haemoglobin

Haem needs to be made more soluble - so it needs to undergo conjugation in the liver to make it more
soluble so it can be mixed with bile via the bile duct into the duodenum and excreted out.




If we have raised bilirubin in a patient it may be due to pre hepatic issues - intra hepatic issues or post
hepatic issues

what is meant by pre hepatic issues ?

Over production of bilirubin or impaired uptake of the bilirubin by the liver to be conjugated
