Liver Operation

Liver Operation in Varanasi

Liver is a vital organ located beneath the diaphragm, on top of stomach, in the upper right portion in the abdominal cavity. It weighs about three pounds, is dark reddish brown in colour and rubbery to touch. It plays an important role in metabolism and several other functions in the body such as, regulation of glycogen storage, protein synthesis, detoxification, hormone production and decomposition of red blood cells (RBC). It also produces a vital digestive enzyme called bile, which helps in digestion.

What is Liver Failure?

The medical condition of liver failure arises when a huge portion of liver becomes so damaged that it is beyond repair. Usually, (chronic) liver failure progresses over a large period of time. But, there exists a rare medical crisis called ‘acute liver failure’ in which the liver failure happens promptly, which can be as little as 48 hours. It remains quite impossible to detect it in its early stage.
