The enlargement of Liver happens due to continuous transfusions without adequate chelation. If there is no chelation at all it will enlarge quickly and vice versa. So, Hepatomegaly does happen in Thalassemia because Liver stores the excess iron which remains in the body due to inadequate chelatio....
The liver plays a major role in metabolism and maintenance of body temperature. It is the important organ that regulates how our body adjusts to the surrounding temperature and how we feel it. In severe liver failure, body temperature is lower than surroundings, which results in shivering.Patients w....

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic process that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates like lactate, glycerol, and glycogenic amino acids. Liver cells or hepatocytes have glucagon receptors. Glucagon can easily target the liver. When glucagon binds to the glucagon receptors it is then converted into individual glucose molecules by liver cell and release them into the bloodstream, this process is known as glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis takes place in the cells of liver tissues in response to hormonal and neural signals. In general, glycogenolysis plays an important role in the fight-or-flight response of liver and the regulation of glucose levels in the bloodstream.
